Little Grad Review

Wednesday July 1, 2009

Upromise Review

Wednesday June 10, 2009

We signed up for the Upromise program back in 2003. Since then, we've been earning rewards money on our grocery and gas purchases without lifting a finger!

The Upromise program is a free way to earn money for college that can be automatically deposited into a 529 plan, used to pay off student loans, or redeemed by check.

See the full Upromise review for details about how the program works and how to sign up.
