Did you know that families are expected to spend an average of $750 on holiday gifts this year?! Upromise wants to help make our budgets go further with online coupons, FREE shipping offers and money back for education—on top of some of the best deals offered by trusted brands. You can earn 5% cash back on eligible online purchases – PLUS get your online shopping done by 12/18 and you’ll enjoy FREE Shipping! Upromise has even more great ways you can earn cash back:
- Dine Out – Up to 8%: Get up to 8% cash back at thousands of participating restaurants.
- Book Hotels & Travel – Up to 5% or more:Score great travel deals (plus cash back for college) through hotels.com, Expedia, Travelocity, Budget and more.
- Use the Upromise Credit Card: Earn 1% cash back on all your purchases, all the time.
- Use Grocery eCoupons: Start at Upromise for money-saving eCoupons that earn cash back.
A survey recently commissioned by Upromise found that parents’ biggest priorities this shopping season include crossing items off the wish list, giving meaningful gifts, being aware of budget busters, and reducing stress. Parents, grandparents, relatives and friends can give two gifts with one purchase by shopping through Upromise.com and using the cash back from that purchase to boost their college savings for the beneficiary of their choice. That’s a win-win deal!

I start buying gifts in October. If I spend a little each month, then it’s not so overwhelming.

I shop with coupons for the stocking stuffers and we limit our gifts to three for each family member. Gold – to represent how we value each person, Franchincense – to help each person worship, Myrrh – for their body. We each look forward to seeing what the others get.
