Five Reasons Why Families Should Consider The Upromise MasterCard

Please Share!
*Sponsored Post. Opinions Are My Own.

Did you go to college? Do you want your kids to attend college? I never went to college. I got married right when I turned 20 and was already working full time at a job I loved. So, going to college was not something I thought much about. Of course, I had the option to go to college and the college savings, but I decided it was not for me and that was okay. I do not regret my decision.

I want the same for my kids. I want them to have the option of going to college if they decide to. I hope they will want to, but that is their choice. I do want to be prepared in case they do want to attend college so my husband and I have been trying to put money away for our kid’s college funds.

Upromise MasterCard Helps Build A Savings For College!

One way to help with saving for college is the Upromise MasterCard®. It is designed to help you build college savings. With the Upromise MasterCard, you earn up to 10 percent cash back, which can be used to save for college.

When you open the Upromise MasterCard you are automatically enrolled in Upromise by Sallie Mae. This is a free program that allows families to earn cash back on everyday purchases! Plus, by applying for the Upromise MasterCard (issued by Barclaycard), families can take savings for college and other financial goals, to the next level. Last year, Upromise MasterCard holders earned approximately $42 million in cash-back rewards! Now that is awesome!

 

Five Reasons Why Families Should Consider The Upromise MasterCard

 

The Upromise MasterCard® is perfect for anyone looking to jump-start savings in 2016

The New Year means New Year’s Resolutions! I know I made quite a few and I really hope I can keep them. So far, I am doing alright! While many American’s are hitting the gym, the New Year is also a good time to focus on your financials. For many people, that includes saving for college.

Many families agree that college is an important and worthwhile investment. However, almost 60% feel overwhelmed about saving for it, (according to the How America Saves for College 2015 report by Sallie Mae and Ipsos). That is why, this year, invest in a credit card that will invest in you, right back! If you must use credit cards, why not use one that gives back and helps you with cash back earnings for college?

Do you need more reasons why you should open the Upromise MasterCard? Well, I have five reasons for you, listed below! I am so helpful 🙂 You can also check out this helpful Upromise Infographic.

Five reasons why families should consider the Upromise MasterCard

1.Earn up to 10 percent cash back, for real. With the Upromise MasterCard, you can earn up to 10 percent cash back. You earn five percent back through Upromise by Sallie Mae and an additional five percent from using the Upromise MasterCard.

You can shop at more than 850 online retail partners at Upromise.com or dine at more than 10,000 Upromise participating restaurants. Like to travel? Good! You can also book travel at major travel sites like Hotels.com, Expedia, and Travelocity, through Upromise.com! Earn 2% cash back when you use the Upromise MasterCard for in-store shopping at department stores and more! Check out all of the Upromise partners here. All other purchases are eligible for 1% cash back so you are always earning cash back no matter how you use your Upromise MasterCard!

If you are a new card member, you can earn a one-time $50 cash back bonus after making a purchase, cash advance transaction or balance transfer within 90 days of opening your account by clicking here!

2. Build college savings. A no-brainer, right? We just talked about this above! The cash back that you earned on everyday purchases can be invested in an eligible 529 college savings plan. This is used to help pay down an eligible student loan, can be transferred into an FDIC-insured Upromise GoalSaver account or withdrawn by check.

3. No annual fees, no cash back limits, and no expirations. I love this about the Upromise MasterCard! Unlike other credit cards, the Upromise MasterCard means cash back. There are no limits to how much cash back you can earn! There are no expirations and no annual fees either! You’ll stay on top of your credit with free access to your FICO Credit Score, and enjoy $0 fraud liability on unauthorized transactions.

4. You’ll shop where you’re already shopping. This is another no-brainer! You are just shopping where you already shop, but by using the Upromise MasterCard, you are earning your cash right back.  For a complete list of Upromise partners, visit Upromise.com.

5. You can earn extra through special promotions throughout the year. Upromise partners also offer special promotions that offer additional cash back opportunities for you, at major online retailers. For Upromise Cardmembers, this can sometimes mean cash back savings of more than 15%! Cardmembers can also receive special cash back offers by email.

    We began saving money for our son’s college fund right after he was born. It’s a good idea to start as early as you can 🙂

    if you are going to use a credit card it might as well be one that provides this great savings plan.

    The card sounds like it has a lot of benefits. Saving for college would be a big help for the kids.

    I do use Upromise, but I don’t have the MasterCard through UPromise, so I’m going to look into it! I love that there is no annual fees & earning 10% is awesome!

    This seems like a good scheme. We have a more conventional College savings account (actually three of them) from a long established provider though.

  9. Theresa M says

    This sounds great anyway to help with our kids future is wonderful. I will look into this for sure.

    Make a resolution to improve your financial health in 2016 with help from Upromise and InformU.

    My favorite is No annual fees, no cash back limits, and no expirations. So many offer rewards that expire! What a rip!

  12. Leela says

    I like that you can earn cash back for college.

    This would have been great when my boys went to college. I will have to tell my son about this for my granddaughter

  14. Mia says

    February 11, 2016 at 10:24 pm

    This sounds like a great financial option for parents!

  15. progress001 says

    The savings for college option would have been an added benefit when my kids were in college. Maybe for my grandchildren??

  16. Sandy Cain says

    It’s time to start saving up for the grandkid’s college. Hopefully they will be college material – their parents aren’t too bright!

  17. Karen Glatt says

    This is such a great way to save for college. I think it can really help with cutting down the costs by saving early and using this Mastercard.

  18. vickiecouturier says

    very interesting,,all my kids are grown as well but ill pass this along to them

  19. Cynthia C says

    February 10, 2016 at 5:58 am

    My kids are grown, but I did save for their college and paid for all. I considered it my responsibility not to leave them to start out with huge student loan debt.

  20. Cheryl says

    February 10, 2016 at 1:07 am

    I’m not putting money away for a college fund.

  21. Mia says

    February 9, 2016 at 6:07 pm

    I am putting money away and this card looks like it would help.

  22. Lisa Jagodzinski says

    February 9, 2016 at 5:35 pm

    I will definetly consider this for when my son is old enough and goes to college

  23. Sarah Hayes says

    I definitely need to look into this card. All three of our kids have college funds, but we would love the opportunity to add to them more often.

  26. Kelly says

    February 8, 2016 at 7:15 pm

    Every little bit helps with saving for college. What a great benefit to have as opposed to points!

  27. Penelope says

    February 8, 2016 at 7:03 pm

    We want to do this for our boys, we are looking into it. Thanks for the reminder!
