NEWARK, Del.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–For families and college students, March means more than filling out
that perfect bracket or chasing leprechauns; it’s Spring Break! And if
traveling or shopping for a getaway is on the itinerary, consider a
credit card that will make that trip even more rewarding. Offering up to
10 percent cash back with major Upromise travel partners, online
retailers, and restaurants, the Upromise
MasterCard
—issued by Barclaycard—can be the ideal travel partner
this Spring Break.

In fact, last year, Upromise MasterCard® cardmembers
collectively earned $42 million in cash back for college. Since its
inception, Upromise MasterCard cardmembers earned more than $484 million
in total cash-back rewards.

“Spring Break is a time to rest, recharge and, for savvy students and
families, a time to supercharge cash-back savings,” said Dave O’Connell,
president, Upromise by Sallie Mae. “With up to 10 percent cash back and
no limits or rotating cash-back categories, the Upromise MasterCard can
be a great option for families, especially those looking to save for
college.”

Here’s why the Upromise MasterCard should hit the beach with you this
Spring Break:

Earn Up to 10 Percent Cash Back

categories, and cardmembers receive complimentary quarterly access to

cash back earned on everyday purchases can be invested in an eligible 529
college savings plan
, used to help pay down an eligible student
loan, transferred into an FDIC-insured Upromise
GoalSaver account
, or withdrawn by check.
