The app uses user data and machine learning to calculate what amounts to a personalized gas price for each customer instead of offering the same rewards for the same spending. Uber and Lyft added the technology to the apps their drivers use, in a move that would help compensate for lost earnings due to the high price of gas. More than 30,000 businesses promote deals through the Upside app.\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/M5qfl-vj8EULTWNkE9Tyg923clEvq89sRNsIi9VAERE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxNDIyLzE2ODM1/ODI4NDQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
