Do you want free gas instead of roses? Here’s how you can fuel up in Miami this week
Want free gas?
GetUpside, a cashback app, says it will be treating 750 drivers in Miami to $20 worth of fuel at three gas stations around Miami this week — if you can be one of the first to arrive at the pump’s “secret” location.
The company’s third and final giveway this week will be held at the BP Gas Station, 3198 South Dixie Highway, starting at 1 p.m. Wednesday. Lines of cars were spotted earlier this week at the company’s other giveaways at two Shell gas stations — one at 10690 SW Eighth St. and the other at 15200 SW 72nd St.
The event locations weren’t announced on Facebook and Twitter until an hour before each giveway was set to begin, which means drivers weren’t able to camp out at the gas station for hours like more than a dozen drivers did during UniVista’s cheap 99 cent gas promotion several months ago.
All three giveaways will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. or until GetUpside’s daily 250 free gas vouchers run out.
While the four-hour window makes it sound like you have plenty of time, remember you’ll be driving against the clock during Miami’s rush hour. You’ll also need to make sure you’ve created an account on GetUpside’s smartphone app if you want to take advantage of the promotion.
Here’s how it works:
▪ Pay at least $20 of gas either with a credit or debit card at the participating gas station.
▪ Input the promo code you receive on-site in the app and expect to snap a picture of the receipt or fill out other information the app might require about the purchase.
▪ GetUpside will then send you a $20 rebate through its app within three hours of you putting gas.
Alex Kinnier, the app’s co-founder and CEO, said the gas giveway was the company’s way of thanking one of their “biggest markets” this Valentines Day while also hoping to attract new app users.
