Make Money With a Upromise Account
Looking for a way to help save for a child’s education? An easy way to accumulate extra money is with a FREE Upromise account. We’ll be writing about Upromise on a regular basis to help Milwaukee Consumers understand all the in’s and out’s of a Upromise account. Here’s a brief introduction into what Upromise is all about:
Upromise was founded with a single mission in mind-to help families achieve the goal of a college education for the children they love. Upromise provides the programs, products, and information parents need to help them reach their college-savings goals. As a Upromise member, you can save for college on everyday purchases such as gas, groceries, dining out-even when you shop online. And you can invite your family and friends to help you save too. When they join, a portion of their eligible spending can be deposited into your Upromise account-automatically.
To date, Upromise and its partners have contributed over $450 million to their member’s accounts.

Kmart $25 Gift Card Deal
Check out the Coupon Cravings blog for information on how you can receive a $25 gift card to Kmart if you make a $50 purchase. Make sure you read the fine print on the offer. The fine print does include the statement “while supplies last”.
Here’s a tip: if you do go to Kmart for this offer, send away for the $25 gift card as soon as you get home from the store. Many consumers often intend to send in for a rebate such as this, but if they don’t take immediate action they often forget to send their information in by the deadline.
