Earn money towards college savings with Upromise

I really like Upromise. I signed up in 2001 and during that time I’ve managed to earn over $1,900 to apply toward my kids’ college education fund. That’s money earned for basically doing nothing out of the ordinary. I’m going to keep taking advantage of it. I have no idea how long this will last, but there’s no evidence it’s going away anytime soon.

So how do you get in on this action?

1. Create your own account.
2. Link all your grocery shopping cards, pharmacy cards and credit cards.
3. Open an Citi Upromise Card and link it to your Upromise account.
4. Create a network — Encourage your parents and in-laws to open their own Upromise and Citi Upromise Card accounts and link to your Upromise account.

Once you have the accounts created and everybody linked to you, some slight alterations to your buying habits will help you maximize the potential earnings.

For example:

• I closed all our other credit cards and exclusively use the Citi Upromise for everything. I can earn up to 1% of my annual purchases, up to $300 per year.
• I try to make purchases from companies that are affiliated with Upromise. There are thousands of popular companies, and their earnings cary from 1%-10%.
• I pay my recurring bills with the credit card, too. Phone, utility, newspaper — anything that accepts a credit card — it all adds up.

Seriously, sign up for Upromise right now. If you spend a little time setting it up and getting support from family, you can earn quickly for very little effort. It’s never to early to start saving for your child’s college education.

I hope you find this useful. Get started now!
