Do you have children or grandchildren? If so, you might want to consider enrolling in Upromise–an easy way to earn a little extra cash for those college tuition bills that will arrive in your mailbox sooner than you expect.
Upromise is a free program, requiring minimal effort on your part; and the cash rebates you earn over the years will reduce your reliance on college scholarships, grants, and loans.
Simply enroll at the Upromise web site, register a credit card and/or a grocery card or two, and whenever it makes sense, shop at participating Upromise merchants. In return, these merchants contribute a percentage of every purchase to your account.
Some of the participating merchants are:
- Bed, Bath & Beyond
- Budget Rent-A-Car
- Callahan’s Seafood & Lounge
- Circuit City
- CVS
- Exxon-Mobile
- Garfield’s Restaurant (Hagerstown)
