August UPromise eCoupons!

The list of eCoupons for August has been released. For those of you who are unfamiliar with UPromise, read the tutorial here. But UPromise in a nutshell - it's a site that was originally designed to help parents save money to send their children to college but now is available to anyone just to save money. They offer online eCoupons to load onto your store cards and when the coupon is used, instead of coming off your total at the register, it is credited to your UPromise account where the savings add up and you can withdrawal the money! You can also link your debit/credit cards and get cash back at participating restaurants and stores. Online purchases made through the UPromise site also reward cash back. You can sign up here. The best part, you CAN use paper coupons at the store too!

So when you see a Upromise and a manufacturer coupon cited in the coupon matchups, it means that both coupon values are being deducted from the price of the item. If the UPromise coupon is worth 40 cents, yes, you'll have to pay (some of) that at the register, depending on how much the paper coupon takes off, but the 40 cents is credited to your account. Stacking paper and Upromise coupons is a great way to get overage.

I have only been doing it for a couple of months and am already up to $9 without even trying, and the account hasn't evne been credited yet for my cashback from dining out!

UPromise

Now that all of the coupon policies are posted (for the most part), I'll be working on this week's sales and coupon match ups. But in the meantime, here's another way for you to make your coupons work for you. (Another type of eCoupon, except it puts money in a savings account!)

You register on the website, and link your store shopping cards to the website. (At Publix you can get a UPromise card at the register.) You upload the eCoupons to your cards, and as long as you scan your card at the store and purchase an item with an applicable coupon, the value of the uPromise coupon is put into your UPromise account, like a savings account. No, the amount of the coupon does not come off of your total, but you CAN use paper coupons also.

You also get cash back to your account for shopping online through the UPromise website. You can even get cash back from Groupon, just click the Groupon link through the UPromise site, and make your purchase like you normally would from the retailer, and BAM, cash back.

If you link your debit or credit card to your account (completely secure), you also get dining rewards when you eat out.

The possibilities for this site are practically endless, and you can make the program work as much or as little for you as you'd like. So, take a look and decide for yourself if the program is for you.
