Contests for Loans?

08-03-2009 09:09 AM

I just signed up for the 'Campus Bound' contest running throuh sears.com and UPromise.  After reading a little of the fine print, it seems that the winnings can only go into a 529 account.  This altogether fine with me, but what about those of us who use UPromise primarily to help pay down already established college loans??  Its seems that the majority of contests would only benefit those who are saving for their kids or grandchildren.  I think all contests are fine and should continue, but I hope in the future that UPromise works towards making some directed towards linked loan programs. 

 

Good luck and good shopping everyone.

What about loans which can't be linked directly with UPromise?  I need to pay that off as well.
