Upromise: Save Money for College with Holiday Shopping

With the holidays coming and all of the shopping that we have to do, I thought I would remind you guys that you could be saving money towards your kids' college education through Upromise. In case you're unfamiliar with the program, here's a bit more info ...

Upromise is a free service that helps you get money for college bills and student loans from the things you do all the time: buy groceries, shop online, fill your gas tank and much more. It harnesses the purchasing power of parents, extended family, family, and students to make it easier to pay for college. Members direct their spending to Upromise partners—including more than 800 online stores, 8,000+ restaurants, thousands of grocery and drugstore items—and earn money for college. Everyone can earn money for college.

Parents with young children; family and friends that want to contribute; students and graduates with eligible student loans to pay. Many members have earned hundreds even thousands of dollars for college with their everyday spending, and have been able to use those earnings to contribute toward college tuition, expenses, or loans–quicker and easier. You can even choose to invest your earnings in a high-yield savings account or tax-deferred 529 plan; use it to pay down a student loan; or request a check that can be used for college or other expenses.

You can sign up for Upromise today and start saving immediately! We have had an account for almost a year now & love watching our purchases add up to even more savings!
