Upromise - The Way to Save for College

I HAVE JOINED U-PROMISE AS A SAVINGS PLAN FOR MY KIDS COLLEGE AS U-PROMISE ADVERTISED SINCE 12/2001.  MONIES HAVE ACCUMULATED NOT EVEN REMOTELY AS TO WHAT WE EXPECTED, (NOW KEEP IN  MIND, THAT U-PROMISE IS THE COMPANY FUNDING THIS VIA VENDORS, ...

In my opinion, Upromise is a rip-off.I signed up 6 years ago, have spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars at partner merchants, buying items which are listed as eligible for savings.  I have earned a ...

This credit card is the best deal I have ever found, for everyone. You get at least 1% cash back on everything, to do whatever you want with. At some stores (target, petsmart, hammacher-schlemmer) you will get 4% - 7% cash back. This is such an amazing ...

A Shady Company making money and not helping you... I have all three of the major grocery stores in my area participating, Raley's, Albertsons, and Smiths. I purposely buy huggies, kellogs, and many other brands but hardly ever get credits.. I have ...

i have been a Upromise member for 1 year. I read all the literature available about 529s and we make over $100K and I still signed and put a little $ each month for both our daughters. I also have been purchasing savings bonds for almost 10 years. ...
