Have a Upromise account? I found out its pretty easy to get the money out of your UPromise account without contributing it to a college fund.
I signed up for one back in 2006 since its free and only requires a few minutes to link your loyalty cards to. I figure with no change to my buying habits it should rack up a little cash over the years and might as well take advantage. I logged into my account and found out that I had received a whopping $9.10. That not exactly signficant for 3 years of buying activity, but its a little something.
It turns out the Upromise web site has a link to a form you just need to print off, fill out with you information including your upromise account number and they will mail you a check. Its almost not worth the trouble for me, but if someone regulary shops at a participating store I could see how they could earn $100+ for a few minutes of time.
