Upromise eCoupons

If you are a Upromise member, have you tried their eCoupons yet?

eCoupons are different from traditional coupons because you don't get the savings off of your grocery bill. Instead, the savings are deposited into your Upromise account. The great thing is that you can use a manufacturer's coupon on the item in the store and still get the eCoupon savings in your Upromise account.

The eCoupons only work with purchases from certain stores. I am excited because Super Fresh was recently added as one of the stores! Other stores in my local area that are part of the eCoupon program include CVS, Giant, Food Lion, Safeway, Shoppers Food Warehouse and Harris Teeter.

In order to participate, you must log in to your Upromise account each month and activate the coupons you want. (I activate them all.) Then if you buy the item at a participating store, the savings are deposited into your account.

If you are not a Upromise member, I highly recommend that you join- even if you are not saving for college. Anyone can join and you don't need to use the money earned to pay for college. You can have your earnings deposited into a participating 529 college savings plan, you can use it to pay down a student loan from Sallie Mae, or you can request your earnings as a check and use them for whatever you please! It is easy to join and requires little mantenance after you register your store loyalty cards and credit cards.
