Online Rewards Website, SaveUp.com, Awards $5K Prize

Lake Forest, IL, May 6, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​​​SaveUp, a free, online rewards program designed to help Americans save more money, pay down credit cards, and make smarter financial decisions, has awarded their first $5,000 cash prize—and more are on the way.

Saveup.com partners with banks, credit unions, and human resource providers to create prize opportunities for its users. As users of the website pay down bills, put money into their savings accounts, and/or invest it into retirement funds, SaveUp rewards them with points they can use for prizes ranging from small gift cards, magazine subscriptions, and downloadable songs all the way up to vacations, scholarships, and even a $2 million jackpot.

"This has been a very exciting event for me. Basically, I've never won anything before. The SaveUp program is a great way to get positive reinforcement and even reward for saving and debt-reduction efforts on the player's end. Part of my morning routine is to play SaveUp. To those who may not think some of the bigger payouts ever happen—this is to tell you that they actually do. I got a wonderful check in the mail for having fun playing a game and working at paying down my credit card bill...talk about the ol' win-win. I also want to shout out the SaveUp team, especially Stephanie in customer support and Ken in tech support, who helped me through the claim process."

Don Herrick, $5K Winner

In addition to prizes, SaveUp allows savers to apply their rewards points towards instant-win games, lotteries, and a super jackpot—all available on the website. One such saver is Don Herrick of North Berwick, Maine. Herrick recently became the website’s first $5,000 cash prize winner!

“This has been a very exciting event for me,” said Herrick. “Basically, I’ve never won anything before.

In addition to awarding credits for saving money, SaveUp rewards users for simply logging into their account—up to three times a day—to see an overview of their progress. This frequent monitoring helps train users to become more aware of their spending and saving behavior, further promoting better fiscal health.

Most importantly, SaveUp uses 256-bit SSL bank-level encryption and a read-only connection to ensure that only users, and their financial institutions, have direct access to their accounts. SaveUp never requests account numbers, and their site is monitored and verified by McAfee and VeriSign, meeting the highest industry standards.
