Upromise-Bonus College Savings Throughout the Month of March

by RC on March 7, 2008

  Upromise, the consumer rewards program where you can earn money for college expenses (they recently added a feature to allow you to pay your own student loans, and if you have no one to save for college for you can request a check be sent directly to you) is providing bonus savings with select merchants throughout the month of March. Upromise is free to join, and allows you to save money for college when you make purchases through select retailers, restaurants, and even gas stations. You can also register store bonus cards (such as CVS, grocery stores, etc.) to earn money on specific items.
Below is a list of retailers offering increased savings for the month of March:

Lands’ End 3% Now 5%  
Staples.com 2% Now 3% 
Nordstrom.com 3% Now 5% 
Macys.com 3% Now 4%
PotteryBarn.com 3% Now 4%
OfficeDepot.com 2% Now 3%
Shoes.com 0% Now 9%
Apple 1% Now 2%
hsn.com 4% Now 6%
Patagonia 3% Now 4%
homedepot.com 2% Now 3%
Magazines.com 25% Now 30%
eToys.com 2% Now 5%
Oriental Trading Company 4% Now 5%
PC Connection 2% Now 4%

I have been a member for a little over a year, and have nothing bad to say about Upromise.  A really good way I have found to use it is for business meals, i.e., when I take someone out and can then get reimbursed by my employer-I end up making a little money! Also, restaurants pay a pretty decent percentage, and some have recently raised it as high as 8%. You can type in your zip code on the upromise site and they will give you a list of local participants.

Join Upromise now to save for your children’s education, yourself, or even pay off your own student loans.

Anything that helps me pay off my student loan is ok in my book. If I’m shopping elsewhere and getting nothing like this now, there is no reason not to do look into this site. I would love to put some money against my loan balance. What a cool concept.
