The Story of Campus Cash

35 Years of Coupons, Community & College Connections

It All Started with a Class Project…

In 1990, Monte Florea was continuing his education to pursue a career in aviation. In his studies, he found himself in a marketing course where he embarked on a class project that would soon evolve into something much bigger. Utilizing self-taught MacPaint skills and a rich background in sales (everything from phone book ads to auto and insurance), Monte launched the first Campus Cash Coupon Booklet in Greeley, Colorado. Though simple in design, the booklet resonated with students and local businesses alike. Monte quickly recognized that these coupons were more than just discounts; they were bridges connecting students to their community. This realization propelled him to expand Campus Cash to even more college towns across the United States. What started out as a class project would soon develop into a successful, full-time opportunity.
