See footnote 1 for explanation. After that, your Standard APR will be 12.99% to 20.99%, based on your creditworthiness when you open your account. This APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate as set out in the Variable-Rate Information section of your Agreement. Obviously, the best way to save for college is to avoid high-interest credit cards.

I've found this is the best way to ensure you get all of your discounts. I spent about an hour downloading the toolbar, adding on my jewel and cvs cards, and adding my credit cards. I also got six family members to sign up. None of do anything differently than we normally would, but I'm managing to put about $250 a year from Upromis towards my student loans. Mind you though, my family lives in a small town and has to order most things online. Be sure to download the Upromise toolbar (and have your friends and family do it too.

That said, I do like having a UPromise account, even if there are only a few pennies in there.
