Upromise & Pairing Deals

If you haven't signed up for Upromise yet, what are you waiting for? It's designed to save money for college, but anyone can have an account and the money doesn't HAVE to go to college.
If you'd like to sign up, please leave a comment with your email addy so that I can refer you. That way, me and you both will receive a $10 gift certificate to Restaurants.com.
There are 3 ways to earn money back.
1. Register your grocery store and pharmacy cards, and when you buy participating products, a small percentage is donated into your account (1-3% back)
Example: $00.02 for 1 lb box of Domino's Confectioners sugar
2. Shop through businesses on the site (1-25% back).
3. Register your debit and/or credit cards and eat at one of the eligible restaurants. (up to 8% back)
Upromise has monthly coupons that can be activated for your grocery and pharmacy cards for even more savings. Pair these with great deals. For example, I had a raincheck for $1.99 5 lb bag of Domino sugar. I used it at Publix with a .35 manufacturer coupon (doubled to .70) and had a .50 coupon activated on my Upromise cards. So I paid $1.29 out of pocket, and received .56 into the Upromise account. It's not a get rich quick scheme, but if you have young ones at home, it'd be a great way to start saving for college.
Also, if you register a debit or credit card, use one that gives reward points for an extra good deal.
When you sign up, try the promotional code SNYDERS3 for an extra $3 into your account.
