I had this card for a while, the cash back online is a good perk, very similar to shop discover. Other than that though it is bleh.

Is it still more than someone would get with discover?  A lot people compare to Shop Discover but doesn't Discover give less ex. 5% walmart and only 1% back using the the Discover card?  I know the thread is about the Upromise vs. Sallie Mae wouldn't the best scenario be to have both?

Does all of the cashback from the Upromise have to go toward a 529 plan?
