Money For College

By John | July 25, 2008

Do you have kids in grade school or high school right now? If so, you should read this post.

Upromise is a system that connects to your credit cards, and based on the usage of those cards, gives a percentage of that usage to a college fund for the child or children of your choice. According to the Upromise web site:

Upromise is a free service that helps families earn extra money for education. It’s that simple.

We do this by partnering with hundreds of like-minded companies who share our mission. Our partners agree to provide YOU, the Upromise member, with rewards for using their products and services… and these rewards go into your Upromise account, where they become actual savings for college, grad school or even paying down a loan.

highlights

Upromise savings can build up just by doing what you normally do: shopping, dining, gassing up, buying groceries…you name it.

You can earn rewards when you take a trip, buy or sell your house, move or refinance.

We can even help with 529 college savings plans?, as well as student loan options.

Upromise members take great pride in knowing how to make every little (and not so little) thing they do more rewarding.
