Welcome to Upromise Community

UPDATE AS OF 5/29/09

For those who participated in the original welcome event that began on 5/16, we've distributed more than half of the gift certificates.  However, the distribution has taken longer than anticipated and won't be complete until end of day on 6/3.  I'm sorry for the delay and thank you all for your patience on this.

All others who participated in the other welcome events -- those gift certificates will be distributed no later than 6/5.

UPDATE AS OF 5/28/09

Welcome all!  If you haven't already introduced yourself, click here for a new promotion.

For those who participated last week: if you were one of the first 500 to post or if you were one of the additional 25 selected beyond the initial 500 during last week's promotion, those gift certificates will be distributed between today and tomorrow.

Yeah!!!  This is awesome--a place to converse with others about one of my favorites!!  UPROMISE!!  I have 4 children I am saving college cash for!!  Their ages are 18, 17, 16, & 7.  My favorite way to save is through online shopping--I hate going to stores and hope they might have that special item I want, so online shopping is easiest for me and with the college savings, THAT is just a bonus!!!  We are in the state of NY!!!

Greetings and salutations. I am saving for my three children, especially since my son who LOVES science has informed me that he wants to be a rocket scientist when he growns up. :-) My son Rhatura and two daughters Solanya and Sukanya. My favorite way to save is through shopping online and with my grocery cards with Winn Dixie and Publix. We live in Alabama.
