How to Start Saving for College

Upromise is a free service that rewards members with college saving just for doing what they normally do: shopping, eating out, filling the gas tank, taking trips, buying groceries and more. Registration is easy and only takes a few minutes.

With Upromise, families can automatically save money for college while making everyday purchases at grocery and drug stores, gas stations, restaurants, retail stores and online shopping sites. Upromise’s partners include Citi, ExxonMobil Corporation, McDonald’s, JCPenney.com, LandsEnd.com, Sears.com, and hundreds of others. Many of the restuarants that you frequent are also included.

So far, Upromise has helped more than 8 million members save for college. How? By partnering with thousands of contributing retailers, grocery chains, and restaurants who share our desire to help make college affordable. And who reward our members for using their products and services.

You can establish a free account and start saving even before you have children and can transfer it later. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends of families can direct their savings to other children too. Imagine what 20 years of saving could look like!

Join Upromise today and earn up to 8% of your bill in college savings rewards when you dine out at any of over 8,000 participating restaurants.
