If you're tired of watching gas prices climb, Varo Money might have a solution that actually puts money back in your pocket. They've rolled out a new perk that gives you up to $0.24 off every gallon you pump. It's basically a souped-up version of the Upside app, but with better rates than what you'd normally see.
What's the Deal?
Varo Money has teamed up with the popular gas savings app Upside, but they're sweetening the pot. Instead of the typical pennies per gallon you'd get from Upside alone, Varo users are seeing rates as high as $0.25 to $0.34 per gallon. That extra $0.24 on top of the base Upside offer can really add up over a month of fill-ups.
The offer shows up inside the Varo app, so you don't need a separate account. Just link your Varo debit card and start claiming cash back at participating stations. It's a simple way to cut your fuel costs without any extra legwork.
- No separate sign-up needed if you already have Varo
- Cash back is applied automatically after you claim the offer in the app
- Works at thousands of gas stations nationwide
How It Compares to Standard Upside
If you've used Upside before, you know the usual cash back is around 1 to 11 cents per gallon. Varo's version blows that out of the water with an extra $0.24 per gallon. That means you're looking at total savings of $0.25 to $0.34 per gallon depending on the station and location.
For example, if you fill up a 15-gallon tank once a week, that's roughly $3.75 to $5.10 back per fill-up. Over a year, that's nearly $200 to $265 in gas savings — just from using your Varo card.
What to Watch Out For
This offer is YMMV — your mileage may vary. Not every Varo user will see the same rates, and availability depends on your location and the gas stations near you. Also, the extra $0.24 per gallon might not be permanent; it could be a promotional rate that changes over time.
Make sure you read the fine print in the app. Some stations might have restrictions, and you'll need to use your Varo debit card to qualify. Also, the $150 referral bonus is separate from the gas offer, so don't confuse the two.
- Check the app regularly for updated rates
- Only valid at participating stations — not all gas stations are included
- You must claim the offer before pumping to get the cash back
Bottom Line
- Varo Money offers up to $0.24 extra per gallon on gas via Upside integration
- Total savings can reach $0.25–$0.34 per gallon
- Offer is YMMV and may vary by location and time
- Also has a $150 referral bonus for new Varo users
Common Questions
Do I need a Varo bank account to get this gas offer?
Yes, you need a Varo Money account and debit card to access the offer in the app.
Is the $0.24 per gallon guaranteed?
No, it's YMMV. Some users see higher or lower rates depending on location and station.
Can I use this with other gas rewards programs?
Probably not at the same station, but you can stack with credit card rewards if you pay with a different card — but to get the Varo offer, you must use your Varo debit card.
