U Promise College Savings

Have you ever heard of U-Promise?  It is a website that offers a few different approaches to getting money back on your purchases to use for your child's future education (or really, anything for that matter, since you can get the money back in cash!).  I use it when I shop online to earn cash back on purchases.  I set up an account on U Promise, and when I know I'm going to buy something online, I sign in there first and check to see if the retailer I am using offers a percentage back through U Promise.  Most retailers do, one major exception being Amazon.com.  So, I search for the retailer on U Promise, click to be linked to the retailer's website from there, and a percentage of my purchase is then credited back to my U Promise account!  Free money for a few extra clicks!  You can withdraw the money or have it linked to a 529 account.  They also offer a credit card that earns extra money back on all purchases too.  It's a pretty good deal for us online shoppers out there who don't mind our purchases being tracked.  Every little bit adds up for that big expensive education in the future!
