The 5 Paths to Uplander Status are:
On each weekend (Friday 9AM PT to Monday 9AM PT) during an active Upland season you are able to receive additional bonuses for leveling up to different statuses. Make sure to read here to understand the limited time sparklet bonus and our additional recommendation on how best to get started during this special opportunity.
Note that this bonus is only applicable for visitors. Once you become an Uplander, you will not be eligible for this bonus. If you choose to complete some of the missions, consider waiting to collect the bonus only after purchasing your UPX, leveling up to Uplander and claiming the reward.
The best bonus you can receive is when spending $100 as an initial investment. With your first purchase of UPX, you will receive a bonus worth 50,000 UPX. In addition, you will receive a free 30 minutes consultation with YK2012, founder of the Upland Guide. Learn more about the consulting services we provide here. By starting out and reaching Pro status and having a net worth more than 100,000 UPX you miss out on being able to buy FSA properties, but that's OK considering the restrictions around minting and selling them.

UPX can be purchased (via credit card, paypal or crypto) within Upland, and the best starter value is to spend $50, which equals 50,000 UPX. On your first purchase of UPX, Upland will reward you with an additional 25,000 UPX (upon leveling up to Uplander). In addition, the Upland Guide will buy your first property off of you for 5 times the mint price (a minimum of 10,000 UPX) and up to a maximum sales price of 18,000 UPX (after a 5% Upland service fee, you will receive up to 17,100 UPX). This means on your $50 purchase, you will receive up to an $88.5 value of UPX! Note that you can purchase up to $25,000 in UPX at one time. However, once you surpass the 100,000 UPX net value thresh hold (becoming pro status) you will be unable to purchase FSA properties. The best realtor starter value is the best way to set yourself up for fast growth with a relatively small initial investment. Click here to see how you can expect to grow. (Purchasing UPX with paypal or crypto can only be done through the web based version of the game, and not the mobile.)

Your primary reason for playing Upland is to increase your fan score and collect Legits, and participate in events connected with your favorite sports team or brand. It is important to note that you won’t be able to disregard the basic foundation of the game as it pertains to property ownership. Having a place to live (maybe multiple homes) and a car will be extremely useful, if not necessary as more functionality is implemented in the game. By overlooking these factors you might incur higher cost for home rentals or other unknown or hidden costs that haven’t been introduced yet. Remember that Upland is a Metaverse based on the real world. Things like realistic travel times, home rentals, and car degradation are future developments that have yet to be introduced. These things will most certainly affect your gameplay. You might be able to get a head start on collecting your Legits by disregarding these factors, but be mindful when planning for the future.
In order to grow your Upland Legits portfolio, you will require UPX. Unlike with properties that you can sell on the secondary market (for a nice profit in many cases) and earn annual yield, the same cannot be said for Legits. You are able to sell Legits for UPX or USD.
Depending on the Legits partnership that interests you, prices can vary. If that brand is already established in Upland, purchasing Legits on the open market from metaventures (player run businesses) may be the only way to obtain them. The owner can decide to sell for USD or UPX, so you might need to have both currencies.
For these reasons, the Upland Guide recommends spending $100 as an initial investment. With your first purchase of UPX, you will receive a bonus worth 50,000 UPX. With your first purchase of UPX, you will receive a bonus worth 50,000 UPX. In addition, you will receive a free 30 minutes consultation with YK2012, founder of the Upland Guide. Learn more about the consulting services we provide here. You can ask him about property ownership and a head start in understanding Legits and how to develop a starting strategy around them.
