At least once a year I withdraw my Upromise funds earned. Thought I'd remind everyone of that just incase you need a little extra $$ that this might be a place you can get a small amount.
Here are the instructions I copied from Upromise
Can I withdraw company contributions from my Upromise account without transferring them to a savings plan, and if so, how?
You can withdraw your Upromise contributions at any time during your membership. To withdraw company contributions from your Upromise account, submit a letter in writing to Upromise requesting a withdrawal from your Upromise account. The letter must state your full name, account number, address, telephone number and the exact amount that you would like to withdraw, up to the total amount available in your account. Pending contributions are not eligible for withdrawal. If your withdrawal is under $1,000 or does not need to be notarized or contain a Signature Guarantee you may fax the request to 617-559-2481
For the protection of our members, we require that your letter either be notarized or contain a Signature Guarantee if the withdrawal request is in excess of $1,000. A Signature Guarantee is a guarantee you can obtain from a financial institution, such as your bank, that your signature is yours and that it is genuine.
Withdrawal letters should be sent to:
Upromise
ATTN: Customer Care
P.O. Box 55555
Boston, MA 02205-5555
You can download a Withdrawal Request Form @ http://www.upromise.com/withdrawalform
Checks are sent once per calendar quarter, so you should typically receive your check within 12 weeks of your request being received.
If you are not yet a member you should think about joining! www.upromise.com
You DO NOT have to save for college or any designated person.
