You can tell I do not know much about this account, but it has been a long time ago that I read about it and the Upromise contribution went right over my head. I have an ING Direct account (Orange Savings) which over the last year has continued to go down in value as I see them investing more and more in to advertising. That was a great investment option until they became so large and well-known that they decided to spend a large part of their revenue in to advertising. When I first signed up, for the first 5 years, it was great, they really focused on the customer and did everything they could to keep the highest rates in the market, but as I said, I am lucky if I can even get somebody to help me who will treat me like a human being. Back to my request here. Anybody know where I can find out how to become invested with the 1.40 or so savings account and the Upromise account through Sallie Mae. Maybe this is already gone, but I am here to see if it is still around or the high-rate checking account. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the heads up, now I can use that towards my higher interest debt since my student loans are my lowest interest rate. Wow, I had no idea!

I have mine setup to help pay off student loans with 4% interest, not the best investment but not bad either. I'll look into this and see if I can divert money the money to a Roth instead.
