Upward Rewards

The only PD program that rewards you with real gift cards—not store credit.

Most PD programs give you "store credit" that forces you to buy more courses just to use your discount. At Upward, we think you deserve better.

With Upward Rewards, you earn digital gift cards that you can use at hundreds of retailers, including Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, and more.

Refer Friends. Register for Courses.

Referral Rewards

When you refer a friend, you both earn Upward rewards.

Note: Be sure you only have one email address you use for Upward login, as this protects your account from complication (including university or DOE processing).
