Upromise by Sallie Mae’s mission is to educate and encourage families to save for college so they can achieve their educational goals. With Upromise, money you need to spend today can help pay for your children’s college in the future with cash back for college. By simply starting your shopping at Upromise.com, you can get 5% or more of that spending back for college from hundreds of major online retailers such as Target.com, Staples.com and Oldnavy.com. In addition, members can earn cash for college dining out, booking travel, buying gas and purchasing other services.

Upromise is free to join and members have earned over $725 million in cash for college since 2001. Money earned can be used in one of four ways: transfer into 529 college savings plans administered by Upromise Investments, pay down an eligible Sallie Mae-serviced student loan, deposit into an FDIC-insured Sallie Mae High-Yield Savings Account offered through Sallie Mae Bank, or request a check.
