New UPromise/iDine Promo - free drinking if you do it right!
Just saw this on the UPromise website- REGISTRATION REQUIRED & NO MINIMUM PURCHASES!
So, if you drink 3 beers at 3 different places, you can get 5 bucks back - go on a 5 beer iDine bar crawl at about 4/beer & drink for free!!
Remember, you don't actually have to save for a kid, you can save for yourself!
Dine out at participating Upromise restaurants 3, 4, or 5 times between September 1 and November 30, 2004 and save $5, $10, or $20 for college, all on top of the other college savings you normally receive from Citi (1%)* and participating restaurants (up to 10%).**
Dine out 5 times and you can receive an extra $20 in your Upromise account.
Dine out 4 times and you can receive an extra $10 in your Upromise account.
Dine out 3 times and you can receive an extra $5 in your Upromise account.

Umm, what about this part
(3) spend a minimum of $25 each dine, and (4) pay with a Citi Upromise Card registered in your Upromise account.
Doesn't it mean that 1) you need to have a special credit card and 2) you have to spend $25 each time?

Sure, sounds like a great idea, send your kid to college while getting drunk 
It's a good excuse I guess
But there is an iDine forum now, so I am moving it over there

Well, that's not the impression I got when I first read it - but in re-reading it, it appears you may be right. I go the impression that the extra would be the extra 1% you'd get by using the Citi Card. Maybe it's not such a great deal afterall...
