BabyMint still in biz, but lacking service

Clark took a call recently from a man named Alan who had signed up with “BabyMint” to earn credits toward his kids’ college education. BabyMint is a company that helps you earn credits, and in turn money, toward college expenses when you buy products from BabyMint sponsored companies. Well, Alan runs all of his credit card transactions through his BabyMint account and has racked up a lot of money for his kids over the years. But when he tried to claim the money, he had quite a bit of trouble and called the show. Kim, one of Clark’s producers, went to work on this issue to find out what happened. First of all, she experienced horrible customer service from BabyMint as well. Alan wanted to know if the company was still in business and if his money was gone. On that issue, the company is fine. BabyMint was recently purchased by one of the big monster mega banks, so it will not be going out of business anytime soon. When asked about the issue with Alan’s money, the company said the process was delayed because Alan wasn’t sure how he wanted his money. Alan now has his money, but it should not have been something Clark needed to address. So, consider Alan’s story when you’re deciding which program to choose. The other option is UPromise.com, which offers the same incentives as BabyMint. Good luck!

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
