upc?

I have joined a program here in Canada that was originally called Kidsfutures. The sponsors whose UPC's you sent in after every quarter donated money towards your account. This money was to go to your child's education account. For example, Bounty Paper Towels - you could submit 2 per quarter and they were worth .50c each. Bounty is no longer a sponsor. Actually, a lot of sponsors have dropped out which makes me wonder about the future of the program. They changed the name to Futura Rewards so that we could now use the money for anything we wanted, not just child's college education. We have to submit a minimum of $10 worth of UPC's a quarter or get charged $2. It's unfortunate that great programs start off great and then slowly dwindle with charges here and there and now sponsors dropping out.

I haven't heard of anyone doing this in years. I don't know if it's still done, or if this is all done electronicly now, with those points cards you hear all about. I have so much plastic in my wallet... I have one credit card, and all the rest are "points" cards for various programs.

I send the box tops to school with my daughter. They're worth 10 cent each and your school can get so much money per year with them. This year the school was using the money from the box top points and buying new preschool equipment. As far as UPC's I send the campbell's one to the school too cause you can earn free things with them from campbells like computers and other school equipment. I'm so glad Campbell's is stil doing this. Sunny D just had a promotion going too but I don't know if its still going or not for teachers and schools. Thats all I know of though.
