Upromise is a college savings program that costs absolutely nothing to join and gives you rewards when you make purchases anywhere. That’s right, anywhere.

Upromise is a site where you sign yourself up, link up some grocery membership cards, some credit cards, and a few other things and you earn a few more cents whenever you go about your daily purchases. The funds are then earmarked for education or, if you want to withdraw it, you can do so if you follow the steps located halfway down this page. I joined it using the code BN5 to get $5 to start. I signed up a while ago so I can’t verify that this code works but it should – let me know if it doesn’t (or if you found another one). After you sign up, be sure to read on how to link up your cards (and get family members to link of theirs too so that you get some free money on your purchases.

Now that you’ve signed up and linked your cards, here’s $3 from Kellogg’s. Click on all these links then click on Redeem code and you’ll get an entry into the Kellogg’s Upromise Back to School Sweepstakes and $1 each:

The account has already yielded dividends since Coca-Cola is a member and they will deposit 5 cents for every 12-pack of soda you purchase (I buy this stuff whenever Giant has a sale at $2.50 a 12-pack). I plan on just forgetting about UPromise for a while and look back at the free money I’ve “earned” in like ten years (along with my Sharebuilder account, which should have millions by then).
