I received an email this week telling me about Upromise’s new program! I’m really excited about this! Basically, you add coupons to your loyalty cards for stores like Marsh, Meijer, CVS, Kroger/Owen/Hilander/Payless, etc. You select your coupons and then click activate! Make sure you have all your loyalty cards registered! From what I’m reading, it will not take it off your total but will be credited to your Upromise account which…LISTEN TO THIS….will allow you to “double dip” as you will still be able to used clipped coupons!
The offers will change monthly and the savings will be up to $25. How awesome! Plus, these are items you will earn a % on anyway just by scanning your card. How much better can Upromise be?
There are great coupons like $5 off Enfamil, $1.50 off Huggies, and MORE. I can’t wait to use this!!! If you are new to Upromise, check out my post blog entries about this AWESOME free program! BTW, Indiana’s College Choice plan is NOW moving to Upromise…so even better for my Hoosier friends! :)
I don’t use Upromise to shop for online items unless it is a better %. I use Big Crumbs for that now as I get a better % and referrals %. (There are numerous ways to earn on Upromise but my main one is my loyalty cards.)
I do add all my grocery/drug store loyalty cards to Upromise which is completely free. You never know when you might purchase an item listed that will give you an extra % back for doing NOTHING extra. It is very easy to use. You just sign up, enter your loyalty cards like Extra Care Card, Kroger Plus, Marsh Fresh Idea, etc. Then you sit back and wait while your savings add up. Even if you don’t think you will buy Huggies products or Kimberly Clark products, you might one day and then you get a little bit back on top of that. Or something you do buy might be added to the list without you being informed!
Now, they are offering grocery store coupons on top of that. (Not coupon codes for web sites.) So if you buy Huggies and have a $1.50/1 CLIPPED coupon, you can also earn another $1.50/1 from their online coupon just by entering & scanning your Extra Care Card.
So this week Huggies diapers are on sale for $9.49 (not the best) – $1.50/1 clipped coupon, – $1.50/1 (E coupon – to be applied to your Upromise account.) = $6.49 (+ you earn 2% back from CVS quarterly, and whatever the % is for Kimberley Clark Items)
I don’t know, I find it easy to use just the Upromise Savings as I have to do nothing extra. I do specifically look out for Upromise items to buy especially if they are more expensive. I do know I have earned % from Upromise on items I purchased at CVS that were free anyway so its just extra on top of it it!
I think you should give it another chance! It doesn’t hurt anything to add your loyalty cards just in case…I’m surprised sometimes by the items that count…Like recently some Bic Razors I purchased earned my .09! Woo hoo! But it all adds up after awhile and even $13.00 every 3 months is better than Zero every 3 months!
I will have to look at SavingsWatch.com and see what they have to offer. It looks similar to an Ebates, Mr. Rebates, etc. :) For online shopping, YAY, but for grocery shopping, make sure to enter in your loyalty cards for Upromise!
Another tip is to google “Coupon Codes for X Store” before you finish your shopping at that store! You never know what kind of good codes, you will find! :)

I was a little confused on how to use this and hesitated signing up. For instance–many of the brands listed in the grocery section are not ones I typically buy. I guess I will first prioritize what we need currently. One example is getting extra bucks from shopping sites that have loyalty programs. I would refer http://www.savingswatch.I could get better cashback rates from them and use lots of coupons and Free Shipping offers…so not only can i save for my kids’ college education, i can use the money for other expenses.
