[blparent] Has anyone used UPromise.com?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi, all.  I heard about a program today called UPromise.com that rewards a person with savings toward college for making purchases from member companies.  The web site is pretty accessible, and the gist of the program seems sound--you register your credit card, then when you buy from member companies, they contribute cash (usually one to eight percent of the purchase price) toward your college savings account.  i heard about the site from someone who is in the business of financial planning, and with college so expensive, it seems like it might be a good idea to sign up and start saving for Sarah, even though she's only a year old.  I was wondering if any of you have used the service, and if so, have you found it reliable and worthwhile?

Thanks,
Jo Elizabeth
