Anyone do Upromise?

Does anyone here do the Upromise program where a small portion of what you spend in selected stores or on your credit card goes towards your child's college expenses?

I did sign up for it but there was only a few stores here that qualified. I did sign up my grocery loyalty cards (is that what you call them - you know the store cards they scan). I also signed up my credit card but I don't use it that much. I guess every penny will accumulate and help eventually.

Just hate giving out to much info to anyone especially credit card info.

Opps I put this in the wrong forum - should be under Finance.

I do and so does Angie.

I have all of DH's credit cards entered as well as all of my grocery store cards.

That's good thinking ahead Kat. Glad to hear that someone else does it.

I signed up my grocery card, but not my credit card. I figure that every little bit helps!

I have signed up for my nephew. I haven't checked my account in awhile to see what my new balance is. I think it's a great thing to do.

I do this program too. I haven't registered my grocery cards (no participating store near me) or my CC's. I've accumulated all through online shopping. It does add up slowly, but at least I'm getting something

Yep! I've got an account for Hannah set up. Everyone's right... it does add up slowly. But any bit helps!!

I use it on my store cards and debit cards. I also had my mom sign up so that she could help me in earning for all 3 of my kids.
It does add up slowly, but well worth it!

I wish I had started this sooner. I had heard about it but never bothered to check it out. We have 6 years or so for it to build and hopefully there will be something worthwhile in the account.

I have upromise too. I use the Citibank Upromise CC. It helps a lot. Also, this year, I plan to do all my online Christmas shopping though upromise. Slowly but surely.
