Uprosmise esaver Problems

[Rachlea]

Has anyone else had problems with the Upromise esaver q's not coming off when your item is scanned?

Also if your DH uses Gillette shampoo. It is $3.99 at the Kingsport Kroger.
Use a $2.00 Q from the P&G paper last month and the P&G ecoupon its Free!

I may be wrong, but I understood those to work like this. If you buy that item at a location that tracks Upromise, it will put the amount of the "coupon" into your account, but not actually take it off of your grocery bill. That's what I thought. Hope that helps.

The upromise can take a few weeks to post. Items I bought the first week of January are just posting to my account this week.

Oh I See well maybe I'll read it again and see what I find thanks!

I thought it worked like that too, but I am not sure. I have signed up for UPromise and haven't used anything yet for $'s off. You should see the amount added to your Upromise account.

Well you are all right. I went back and read it again and it goe into the college account. lol It would help if I would read it.

I've had a Upromise account for about two years for my kids and I have to say because I'm not a big spender there's not much there.

But maybe this way I can boost it up a bit.


Thanks

My question is, how do you redeme it though? I mean do they send who you borrow your student loans from a check or do they send you the money? Like I said, I joined it, but never really understood it. I know if you shop on sites like Walmart.com or Vera Bradley or Kohls just to name a few, you get Upromise $'s.

I haven't quite earned enought yet to do this, but from what I understand, once you hit $25.00 in your account, you can choose to "invest" it or "pay" it. Like I said, I haven't hit that yet (I just joined in October), so I'm not sure of the details for that next step. I'm a reader of the rules. It's just my nature Hope that helps out a little more.

I have a big 8 cents in there for my two kids - pretty good huh?!? ha! It's a good thing they are young!

Well you start an account and you can add all of your cards to your account.

Credit cards,
grocery cards,
gas cards etc

They must be a participating dealer, there is a list link at the top. When you join they also send you a book in the mail that has your dealers in your area.

That money is deposited into your account by that dealer. You can leave the money there. Which is what I do. i have a 17 year old who will be graduating soon and going off to college. i will wait and withdraw it then.

The ecoupon money goes in to that account as well.

You can also roll that money over into a 501 savings account if you want and earn some interest.

I have had an account for 2 years. I only have around 500 per kid and I have 2. But hey its better than nothing it will buy a couple of books or gas.

Most of the money I have earned has really comes from gas purchases.
