Why did I register my debit & credit cards if using them doesn't help me?

10-23-2009 11:33 AM

I thought I registered my debit and credit cards because when I use them at participating stores out in the real world, I get a % of my purchase back in UPromise.

 

If this is ONLY for online shopping, and I have to come in here to click through each time, it's basically just like an affiliate program.

 

But I'm still wondering why on earth I had to register my cards....

I am trying to figure out the same thing, but I haven't been able to get Jeff to respond!

Apparently, the only way to receive dining contributions is by paying with a registered credit or debit card. As far as any of the other ways to save, I'm not sure if they still require paying with registered cards or not. I suppose it doesn't hurt to err on the side of caution, though, especially if you have to research a missing contribution.

 

By the way, they are giving a double dining bonus until 11/30/09, but you have to register for the bonus by clicking the link. Oh, and if you pay with a registered debit card, I think you have to have the restaurant enter it as a credit card transaction for it to count. You can find out more about that on the dining page.

Found out, click on the link above for How Upromise Works and read the fine print below, a handful of partners require you to use a registered card.
