If you have kids, do any of you sign up for Upromise? One of my good friends told me about it. He is having his first child next month. Essentially what you do is sign up, and register your credit cards as well as any grocery or member cards. When ever you buy a product that participates (Coke, Edie Bauer, Exxon Mobile) you get credit that can go to a 529 plan. For example, I bought woll trousers at Eddie Bauer. They put 2% of the purchase price into my Upromise account for when I have children.
Now here is the kicker. You can get your friends and family to register their cards to give you the credit. Think about every family member you have. Every time you get gas at Mobile (2%). Every time you pay your SBC bill (up to 5 bucks a month). Its crazy who all belongs.
