Upromise Reviews

I have been a member of this site for years.  I also have the UPromise credit card.

I think this site is very helpful.  Since the site is free to join, u get money for free.  Some people have said it isn't worth the little bit of money u receive.  But even the little bit of money is helpful. 

Plus the money they deposit toward a student loan is considered interest paid - which is tax deductible!

I have a few family members signed up, but they aren't as diligent as I am about using the site for purchases.  But I am thankful for whatever they do to help!

I have been a member of Upromise since my son was born in 2003.  Since then, I have accumulated $315 in my account.  That's not a lot of money, especially for being a participant for five years.  However, it's still FREE money that I wouldn't have received if I didn't join Upromise.

Could I have accumulated more money in my account?  Absolutely.  I'm the first to admit that I don't use the online shopping link as much as I should and that I also don't use my Upromise credit card very often.  Once again though, it's still FREE money. 

PROS:

Relatively easy and free to sign up.

Several ways...

   In collecting as many coupons as I can for my grocery budget, I visited Upromise.com, which I already have an account at, but I had never noticed the plethora of deals and partners they have. Not to mention, the many ways you can accumulate funds for your child's education.

Join today & turn everyday spending into money for college.

I've been a member of Upromise.com for about 4 years.  Last year I began to use the site more and the $ is adding up.  Many other reviewers are correct when they say that the money back is small each time that you shop.  Many of us shop online so why not get money back, whatever the amount is, we're going to shop anyway.

Tips for getting your cash back to add up:

• Use it every time you shop online
• Register your credit cards (even if you shop off-line, you can get $ back)
• Register your grocery/drug store cards (Kroger, Randalls/Safeway, CVS, etc.)
• Use the Citibank credit card for added cash back (I...

Upromise is a great site for getting free money for college. While it won't pay to send your kids or grandkids to Harvard it will help some and perhaps enough to give them other choices.
Upromise is a free site; to use and earn money for college. It does not even matter how old the person is that you are saving for, they don't care. They offer all sorts of ways to earn money for college and while most of the choices are not mind boggling big savings they are savings none the less.
There are many ways you can save for your kids education by registering your credit/debit cards, grocery story...

Upromise is a great website for anyone paying off a Sallie Mae student loan.  When you shop online and go through their website to certain merchants you get a percentage of your purchase as credit which can later be applied to your loan account.  You can also get credit for purchases of certain brands in-store, when you use a store card such as a Safeway Club Card or Fred Meyer. 

I like this site because I get extra rewards that are automatically put towards my student loan accounts.  That way I'm not tempted just to spend the credit on something else.  It is easy to use and you can even purchase...

     Do you or a family member/friend buy groceries?  Of course, everybody does.  But, did you know that you can get money back for many of your purchases to go towards college or paying off student loans?  At Upromise you can register your debit/credit cards as well as grocery loyalty/savings cards and prepaid cards to earn money when you buy things.  I myself have used this service for a long time now and have been earning money to pay back Stafford loans that I have taken out for school.  You don't have to pay any money or spend anything extra to earn cash.  Also, your personal...

I heard about Upromise from our local grocery store. I thought it was too good to be true. I get money back for my son's college education (mind you he's 6 months) without having to change the way I do things.

Of course it was too good to be true. I had to change my spending habits a little. I now check the upromise website before I do any purchases. I buy my gas only at Exxon/Mobil. I make sure that I buy grocery products that give money back. I try to eat at local restuarants that give money back. And I go through the website to make ANY online purchases. I even signed up for their credit card....

This is a no brainer for saving for college.  If you shop online you can go through the Upromise website and rack up some pretty good savings.  It won't pay for your college but every little bit helps and it takes very little effort since you are getting money back on things you would buy anyway.  Just have to set things up on the site with your information (loyalty cards, credit cards, etc.) that you use and the rest is automatic.
