Upside

Virginia Tech Athleitcs is excited to partner with Upside, a free app that helps you earn cash back on everyday purchases, to launch a pilot program that creates support for Virginia Tech Athletics.

As part of the launch, Upside will fund an exclusive $10 bonus on the user’s next transaction after they join the Virginia Tech team (minimum $10 spend on the first transaction). Both new Upside downloads and existing Upside users will be eligible for this bonus.

Frequent Upside users earn over $250 per year. Across the millions of Virginia Tech fans out there, that cash back adds up to unlock the edge for the Hokies.
