Ok people, this is really important. I would say 90% of people reading this has seen or heard of Upromise. I just wonder how many of you have actually joined. I joined this program when Maia was 3. I haven’t saved 20,000 dollars yet, but I have saved a little. I have 7 brothers and sisters, and I sent them all an e-mail asking them to either sponsor Maia, or join for themselves. Not one of them had joined. They all said they had heard of it, but didn’t know how it worked. Well, I am going to tell you, plain and simple.
Grab your wallet. Now go to their website (Click on the ad to the right) and sign up. When you are finished signing up, register your grocery & drug store loyalty cards at the very least. You can also register all of your debit and credit cards. Now, just shop like you normally do. Oh, and if you plan on buying or selling your home, you can get up to 3,000 (yes I said Three Thousand dollars) for college. Go to their website and Go under the "Earn" menu and click on "Home". If you want to find out about what brands or stores are offering special incentives, simply ask Upromise to send you e-mails. If you don’t want any e-mails, just go to your account profile and uncheck all the boxes. I am telling you, it’s free money. How much you get depends on how you work their program. They could not make it any easier. Now, do yourself a favor and go join it. If you don’t have any kids, you can save for your nieces, nephews, grandchildren, or even Maia! Just shoot me an e-mail if you want to sponsor Maia.
