ExxonMobil Upromise Summer Promotion to Offer 500 $250 Contributions as College Savings
Business Wire, May 31, 2005
FAIRFAX, Va. -- ExxonMobil, the official fuel provider of Upromise -- the college savings service -- will award $250 to 500 winners this summer through its "ExxonMobil Upromise Summer Promotion." Upromise is the country's largest non-governmental service helping families save for college through their every-day purchases with hundreds of participating companies.
Beginning June 1 through August 31, all Upromise members who make a gasoline purchase at an Exxon or Mobil station with a credit or debit card registered with Upromise will receive one entry into the "ExxonMobil Upromise Summer Promotion;" however, no purchase is necessary to enter the promotion. Anyone who follows the "alternative means of entry" process will also be entered in the promotion.
Winners will be selected through a random drawing to be held on or about October 15, 2005. Winners will be notified approximately four weeks following the close of the promotion. Due to state law restrictions, residents of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey are not eligible for the promotion. Gasoline purchases in those four states will not count as an entry in the promotion.
ExxonMobil has been affiliated with Upromise since 2001 and has contributed more than $14 million toward college savings for Upromise members. In addition to this promotion, ExxonMobil also offers customers who are Upromise members the opportunity to save for college year-round when they buy gas at Exxon and Mobil locations. More details are available at www.upromise.com.
"The 'ExxonMobil Upromise Summer Promotion' is another indication of ExxonMobil's ongoing support for education," said Mark Shores, U.S. retail sales director, ExxonMobil Fuels Marketing. "We are pleased to play a part in helping our customers and their children save towards a college education. We're also glad that our involvement with Upromise enables us to reward our most loyal customers."
"Upromise provides a unique and easy opportunity for families to jumpstart their college savings plans," said David Rochon, senior vice president, Partner Management, Upromise, Inc. "ExxonMobil's participation in Upromise makes the routine purchase of gasoline another means of helping families save for their children's education."
Enrollment in Upromise is free and only takes a few minutes at www.upromise.com.
