Default Re: Upromise for your kids college

Here is something I wrote about a year ago in another conversation about upromise:

Quote:
I've been doing some more reading. It appears that if you set up a 529 with them, you have to have $250 initially and a mnimum of $50/month in contributions. So unless you and yours do A LOT of shopping, you would have to plan on adding your own savings to the upromise contributions. (Not that this is bad, of course - just trying to figure out if there was some sort of catch to setting up a 529 plan using solely upromise money.)
Does anyone know if you can take the money you get from the shopping bonuses, withdraw it, and spend it on educational expenses? It's been so long since I looked at the program.
