If I could give it negative stars, I would… NO customer service

I really wanted to love this. I thought it was a great idea for people saving for their children's college, with small contributions over time. I’ve had the app/account for less than a month now. In the last week, my account has been suspended twice. There is no customer service. The submit button on the website doesn't work to send them a message, they don't reply to messages on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, and there is no customer service phone number. I got the Upromise credit card through Barclays, and they don’t even have a contact number for them. I feel the lack of customer service is especially concerning since they are helping you get extra cash for your child's future education. 
I would not recommend the service to anyone looking for an extra few bucks their child’s future. it’s more of a headache than it is helpful.

What happened to receipt scanning?!

Update: the receipt scanning has returned, but nearly all the deals I used are gone. What happened to all the generic grocery offers? I buy very few name-brand products, so the most important going to get out of a receipt is a penny.

Original: Since the last update, there is no way to scan grocery receipts. This is the only way I earn any money through Upromise—the surveys never work, and I don’t play any of the games. What’s the point of having this app if I can’t even use it?

Broken update

The most recent update broke the grocery rewards feature on the app. This needs to be fixed asap and compensation provided for missed rewards.

Update - the grocery features have been restored. Reasonably quick turnaround by the support team.

Good way to earn money for education

I love you promise and all it’s befits. Hoping this survey didn’t just throw me off and give me no credit when I only had like two more questions to answer because I answered what party I was politically with.
