Tara is right about the regular coupons...they can be redeemed along with Upromise eCoupons. As for how long the savings will take to post in your account, it's typically 30 to 60 business days following the purchase. By the way, here's a link over to a page that outlines the time frame for all types of purchases made with Upromise partners: http://www.upromise.com/nspage?su=8201 Hi Erica.

I'm not sure that there's a standard timeframe since the deposits are coming from so many difference sources. Yes, I have it straight from a Upromise rep that you can use manufacturer's coupon in conjunction with the ecoupons because they are a separate deposit into a college savings account and not a true ecoupon.

Amanda is absolutely right...you can choose to receive your Upromise earnings in the form of a check. Speaking of which, here's a page with information on that and other ways to use your earnings: http://bit.ly/ihVKg Welcome aboard and please let me know if you have any other questions or would like advice on best ways to use the program.

If you roll it over to a 529 plan though....then it can't be just paid out in a check. I started the Upromise Fund about 7 years ago before we even had kids. Way back then, it was hard to get any kind of collection in there as I lived in Wisconsin and no stores or anyplace participated and the only way I could get any contributions was to shop online. Finally, moving to OH, there were lots more places. I wanted to surprise my husband this past spring with a nice birthday gift without him seeing a dip in our budget and wondering where the money went. So, I decided to request a distribution from my hard earned Upromise account. It took me 7 years to collect $181 dollars in there! But it was simple to get the distribution. I just filled out a form and mailed it in. They only cut a check at designated times every 3 months..but the process was simple enough. I'm glad that they have now added the Ecoupons. It's a significantly greater savings than the few cents that have been contributed for specific items in the past!

With UPromise, though, I hope you'll take a look at the evidence that they run a parasitic program which can ultimately negatively affect you, other affiliates, and the merchants you display on your website. I think this recent blog post summarizes the situation rather well: http://econsultancy.com/blog/4525-toolbars-pop-ups-and-parasites-in-affiliate-marketing#blog_comment_12696 I hope you'll reconsider your endorsement of UPromise or learn more about parasitic affiliates and avoid endorsing them in the future. I'm sure many other affiliates, affiliate networks and merchants would appreciate your consideration. Consumers should benefit as well because merchants' advertising costs will be lower which in theory should keep consumer prices down. Best, Jim Hi Tara,
