New U Promise program!!

U-PROMISE OFFERS
ANOTHER WAY TO SAVE!

U-Promise has added a new program that allows you to add E coupons to many of your store cards. The list includes CVS, Kroger, Remke, Meijer, etc! Best of all, you can load the same coupons to EACH of your cards if you choose! These "coupons" don't give you cash back at the register, but instead offer yet another way to add money to your college savings account. Many of these items give you $ just for the purchase itself at the store (when using your store card), but now you can get additional deposits to your account.

Start here by clicking on the photo below!

Upromise.com

Don't have a U-Promise account yet? Don't worry! Sign up now (click on the photo above) and start saving for the HUGE expense of college. Every nickel-n-dime counts!

Anyone can sign up for an account. You can assign your savings to your children, grandchildren, your neighbor's kids, or even the kid cutting your grass! OR...assign to no one right now and choose later when the time is right!

I have had a U-Promise account well before my years of being a parent.

"Upromise is a free service, and by adding your credit, debit or grocery card means that you can begin saving money for college every time you shop at participating retailers."

Thanks Becky! I have seen signs for this and have never did anything about it! I registered last night and it was easy. I put my kroger card, CVS and Remke card on UPromise! Cant wait to see the new website.

This truly is a great program that costs us nothing to participate in and allows funds to grow for whomever. I started this before I was even married and now, I am glad that this came about because I will definately put more time into watching our savings grow. I have my CC and store cards all registered and have NEVER had any problems.

I'm not sure I understand what this is. The website doesn't really describe it very well. Can anyone give me a brief description?

This is a way to save for college. Every time you make a purchase of a grocery item that is a partner with UPromise or you shop through their site or at a participating merchant, a % goes to your account. Eventually, you open a 529 plan and then start gaining interest on your contributions.

Now, with this, you also get to load "coupons" to your card and get even more money added to your account.

This is FREE money that you get for your everyday purchases to put towards college - for you, your kids, your pool boy...whomever!
