Simply My Business

The night (or should I saw weee hours of the morning) is winding down and I decided to check in on a few different websites. My eyes are a bit blurry, but I am just not quite ready to hit the hay…..so….perusing the ol’ computer just for fun seemed like a good way to relax and wind down a bit. At least that was the plan! But, oh no, I just HAD to go over toUpromise.com
to check our totals for Hais’ college fund….and to my great surprise I found that our total is up to $642. WOW! That will pay for almost two semesters of textbooks….double WooHoo!

We have been members of Upromisefor a few years now, but it wasn’t until this last year that I began making an effort toward earning money. I thought it would be difficult, but now I look at it as a game of sorts. A money tree game…haha! Now, anytime that I know I need to make a specific purchase, I go to the Upromise.comsite to compare prices. Every now and again I may not find what I am looking for, but most of the time not only do I find a bargain, but I generally find a discount or free shipping because I am a Upromise member.

This summer, I knew I needed to purchase a window air conditioner and that I would most likely purchase it from WalMart (for lack of any resource out here in the middle of nowhere). I researched the different models on the upromise WalMart website. I was able to read the reviews of each and when I finally decided which model would fit our needs to best, I called our local store to see if it was in stock. Yes, it was, but for almost $30 more than what was online. WalMart has site-to-store where shipping is either free or .97 cents…so it was a no-brainer to purchase the unit online.

Currently, WalMart only offers a 1% upromise contribution, but I maximized my earnings by using our Upromise credit card. I was actually pretty proud of myself for not only earning and saving enough to offset our taxes, but also add to our Upromise totals.
I believe in upromise enough that I became an affiliate for them through Commision Junction, where you can as well. Currently I earn $4 for every person who signs up through my link and the best part is that it does not cost a dime to sign up….EVER! If you would like to start saving money on purchases and earning contributions toward college, please click one of theUPromise.com linksand sign up. I think you will be happy that you did.
