Upromise launches paperless coupon program

Upromise said today that it is introducing paperless coupons to augment its shopping rewards program that is tied to college savings.

The Newton company says it can help consumers save money for college through a rewards network set up with hundreds of consumer brands; when one of its more than 9 million members makes an everyday purchase of one of the brand's products, members receive a portion of their eligible spending back in the form of college savings.

Upromise said in a press release, "With up to $25 in value each month, eCoupons provide a new way for Upromise members to add to the $450 million dollars they have received in college savings rewards since 2001."

The release stated further: "Each month, new eCoupons will be available and can be used by clicking on participating products at www.Upromise.com/eCoupons. Each eCoupon is then automatically linked to a member’s registered grocery or drug store cards and can be redeemed for college savings in their Upromise account upon purchase of those products in-store."

Aquafina FlavorSplash, Charmin, Huggies, and Spray 'n Wash are among 20 brands that will be offering Upromise members eCoupons, Upromise said.
