A very easy way to earn money back on purchases
A very easy way to earn money back on purchases made online. The money earned then gets paid directly into the kid's bank accounts. Simple :-)

A nice easy way to save for your little ones, though quite often the cashback is less than for other sites, so I tend to use them more often.

Thank you for using KidStart and for leaving this review, Jon! We’re always working hard with retailers to make sure they’re either matching the savings on KidStart that they give elsewhere or giving more to us with it going towards a great cause. It’s something we believe has improved over the past couple of years. However, if there are any retailers you shop with where there is still a big difference please email us at support@kidstart.co.uk and we can flag this to the retailer in question. We also regularly have increased savings from retailers for time limited periods that we promote on our weekly newsletters so we recommend keeping an eye on them.
Great way to save for your kids

We really appreciate your feedback! Please contact us at support@kidstart.co.uk if you're seeing delays with your savings clearing and our team can look into them. This timeframe is set by the retailer and can vary from retailer to retailer but we always aim to get the savings to our members as quickly as possible.
Fabulous way of saving a little extra
I've been saving with Kidstart for some years now. I've managed to add quite a bit to the children's accounts over the years for things I was going to buy anyway. I love it!

Easy to use app
Easy to use app and a simple way to earn a little extra cash for your child. I search different cashback apps as rates can vary and Kidstart isn't always the highest, but a good range of retailers and straightforward to transfer earnings into bank account.

A great idea and a bit of a no brainer if you are ordering online anyway - building up the kids ISA's.

Great website
Great website, I always double check on their site before ordering online. I’ve save my son over £400 over the past 12 years just by shopping! If I’ve ever had an issue it’s resolved really quickly. Money transferred straight into my son’s saving account. You can see what is pending and what has been cleared. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Kidstart is a great way to earn “free money”
Kidstart is a great way to earn “free money” for the kids. I have been using it for over 10 years. I didn’t give it a 5 star review as it can be so much better. Amazon is no longer a partner and the links are not automatic, so I often forget to check and miss out, but why wouldn’t you use it?

We really appreciate your feedback, Katia! Thank you for using KidStart. We miss having Amazon as a partner too, unfortunately they decided to stop working with loyalty partners over the pandemic. We have lots of other great retailers still to shop with though and if there are any we don't have that you like please email us at support@kidstart.co.uk and our team can contact them. Our Savings Prompt is a handy tool to help you remember to use KidStart if you shop on a desktop.
Easy way to save for your child
A great way to save for your child, very easy to use. Simple website to keep track of everything. Brilliant customer service if you ever do have a query or problem. Easy to invite family members to save for their grandchild, niece or nephew. Nothing not to like about kidstart, in these times every penny counts and if you can save for your child while buying everyday items, then why wouldn't you.

Thank you for your review, Sara. It’s great to hear we’re helping you save for your kids! Thank you for mentioning our Invite feature, it's one of our favourites too.
Reliable, good for cashbacks
They have tie ups with brands that we usually shop at, offering reasonable cashback that credits into the account fairly quick.
Not given 5 stars as the process requires us to shop only on brand websites and does not consider cashback when we use the brand's App.
