We joined Upromise in February 2003. Since then, we have earned $288.52 by doing nothing! It’s a free rewards program that doesn’t require much effort beyond the initial signup.
What is it?
Upromise is a free service that helps families earn extra money for education. It’s that simple.
You earn rewards from partner companies when you buy certain products or services. Common rewards we earn are from buying gas and groceries, dining out, and shopping online.
Start Earning
Sign up at Upromise.
Add your credit cards. When you shop at participating restaurants, gas stations and stores, you will automatically earn money back on participating products. We use a gas reward credit card and double dip with the cashback and Upromise contributions.
Add grocery and drugstore cards. Whenever you buy groceries you will receive rewards for participating products. I’ve noticed that our grocery store will put little Upromise tags by selected products.
Sign up family and friends. We had grandparents register for accounts and the earnings go to our children. Every time they buy groceries a portion of their purchases are deposited into our account.
Explore more uses. In addition to the methods we have used, you can also earn rewards from shopping online, making travel plans, buying and selling real estate and financing or refinancing your mortgage.
Redeem Rewards
The rewards are intended for education and can be deposited automatically into a 529 plan for your child. We’ve selected the Iowa plan.
However, if you don’t need the money for education, you can request a check! Here’s how to do it:
Send a written letter requesting a withdrawal with your full name and the exact amount that you would like to withdraw. If the amount is over $200 you will need to have the letter notarized or include a signature guarantee. Send the letter to:
Upromise
ATTN: Customer Care
P.O. Box 55555
Boston, MA 02205-5555
