Where do I start?

Where do I start? I always say there's no such thing as a free lunch, how wrong can you be? With kidstart, you're sure of lots of free lunches or in my case my Granson is...it's quick and easy to sign up, even for a oldie like me, then every time you shop online search through Kidstart and presto! As easy as that your starting to save for your child Grandchild or your favourite person,which could even be me 🤣😂 your shopping anyway so shop through Kindstart, the penny's soon add up to pounds.Happy shopping folks and even happier savings x

Hugely valuable resource that I sincerely recommend to other parents and direct family members. Such a simple way to build a cash plan for your child, neice, nephew or grandchildren without trying too hard! I have pushed almost 1.5k in the direction of my sons personal development plan.

No brainer!

So easy to use and my kids benefit from me buying their clothes and toys (oh and a few tiny wheeny bits for me too LOL)- it’s win win!
Simply link their bank accounts and the money is transferred automatically. Also not had any issues with the app tracking my purchases(unlike other cashback sites where you have to raise tickets because the purchase didn’t track).

Thank you for your review, Christina. It’s great to hear we’re helping you save for your kids and that you're finding KidStart easy to use.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Other sites often have better rates.

I don't use it as much as the other cashback sites as I use as this normally has lower rates but is good when stores aren't on the other sites. Compared to over £1000 I earned off of other site over 10 years this site earned about £50 in the same time period. It's good to save for the kids though.

Thank you for using KidStart and for leaving this review! 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.

Kidstart - free money why wouldn't you?!

I love Kidstart. Have been using it since my daughter was born and have saved over £500 for her, just through buying things I would have anyway. Easy to use, minimal faff to set up. Money for nothing really. I like the refer a friend feature as well. Have also got my family members signed up so they save for her too. Every little helps.

A great way to save for your little ones!

Such a fantastic service, I have saved so much for my girls from simply doing my normal shopping. It’s great that family members can save on the children’s behalf too.

Member for 10+ years!

Kidstart has been part of my online shopping routine since my children were babies, now both in double digits and I’ve banked a really nice amount in cashback for them. Never had a problem. Wouldn’t be without Kidstart, would recommend wholeheartedly! Sign up and watch your cashback grow!

using KidStart for couple of years

I have been using KidStart for couple of years. They have a great selection of companies that I use very often and it is so easy to collect the cash back. I had to split it into two kids accounts after my daughter as born and it was such an easy process. Love using KidStart.

Great to be saving for the children on every day purchases. I'd like to see more companies joining the scheme but on the whole Kidstart are doing a good job and it's worthwhile using

Kidstart is a really great way of getting something back for every shopping that you do. The good thing about the website is that it gives you a detail breakdown of your rewards . I have been using it for a few years now

Very easy to set up and use.

Very easy to set up and use. Our children (although they won’t know until they’re older) have benefited a lot from just some of the basic everyday purchases and our energy supplier each month. So many retailers are linked to kidstart it would be daft not to use it to benefit our children, every penny matters!

Kidstart has helped my child save money for his future

I've been using Kidstart for a number of years now. Whenever I do my normal online shopping, I check to see if there are any cashback options available through Kidstart first. I also search through when I'm not sure where to shop to make the best of the offers. I love that the money goes directly to my children. Its great for their future savings.

Highly recommended app

Great app that allows you and your friends/family to make savings for your children by doing nothing! Nearly in excess of £200 now which is fantastic!

Simple to use and an easy way to generate free money for your children.

I have been using Kidstart for about 15 years to save for both of my children. I do loads of shopping online and soon got into the habit of searching for retailers on Kidstart before purchasing items. I even earn money on my grocery shopping so have saved several hundred pounds without any real effort on my part. The best bit is that this scheme hasn't cost me anything but has added a big chunk of money to my children's bank accounts. Its a win, win situation and I have recommended it to lots of family members and friends. Kidstart is definitely worth using, with hundreds of retailers participating in the scheme.
