GAS BUDDY & GET UPSIDE
I NEVER pay full price for gas, AND I get rebates on every gallon I buy! You can too, I explain how in this video: https://youtu.be/aj58CDzySMM
1. Use GAS BUDDY to save 20¢-40¢ per gallon; plus you get roadside assistance (it's cheaper than AAA).

2. Use GET UPSIDE to scan your gas receipts and earn a rebate of 5¢-40¢ per gallon.
