At Upromise, we love celebrating the milestones of our members—whether it’s a first-time contribution or a lucky sweepstakes win. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Melissa, a dedicated mom of two from Texas and one of our February winners in the Future Funds Sweepstakes!*
Melissa walked away with $100 in cash back rewards, which she immediately put to work for her family be transfering the funds into her children’s MOST-Missouri’s 529 Education Plan accounts.
“Winning to me means that I am providing a better future and a better opportunity for my children. The best advice I can give for college savings is to start early. I started putting small amounts towards the 529 plan for my daughter when she was just an infant. I’m amazed at how much is there today due to dividends and stock growth over the last 13 years.
I highly recommend Upromise.”
– Melissa W.
A Decade of Dedicated Saving
Melissa is no stranger to the power of compound savings. She’s been a Upromise member since 2013, joining right when her first child was born. Since then, she has earned over $6,000 in Upromise cash back rewards toward her children’s 529 plans—providing a powerful addition for even greater growth over the next 13 years.
“I have been a member of Upromise since 2013. I have loved seeing our savings multiply over the years.”
Consistency is Key
Melissa shared how easy it was to integrate Upromise into her family’s routine. She’s been utilizing the Upromise World Mastercard, dining rewards, and the Upromise online shopping portals to turn everyday expenses into college tuition.
“I love the cash back provided for online purchases, dining rewards for places I was already planning to eat at, and also the credit card rewards that went toward [my daughter’s] 529 plan,”
Melissa’s Pro-Tip: Start Now
When asked what her best advice is for other parents looking to tackle the daunting task of college savings, Melissa’s answer was simple: Start early.
She also highly recommends Upromise for those living in states that offer tax credits for 529 savings, noting that it’s a win-win for any family’s financial future.
