Read our top tips that will not only help you save money but also build up a nest egg for the future of your children by making the switch on your life admin.<\/strong><\/p><\/header>\n\n

It\u2019s the time of year for dealing with all your personal admin and getting ready for the year ahead. Jobs like renewing mobile contracts, switching utilities and taking out insurance. Take advantage of the latest offers and switch bonuses to boost your KidStart Savings<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n

Utilities \u2013 save on every bill<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

We’ve partnered with Octopus Energy<\/a><\/strong> to give KidStart members the chance to get 1% back on every energy bill. That’s a monthly savings earned for your child’s future just by switching to Octopus, it’s really that simple.<\/p>\n\n

Octopus pride themselves on having 100% green energy, fair prices for everyone and speedy customer services. They’ve been Which? Recommended Energy Supplier year after year.<\/p>\n\n

Mobile contracts \u2013 Where are the best offers?<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Knowing what your needs are will help you decide what offer is best for you. Do you use all your available data each month? What about the minutes?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been with the same provider for a while, a good tip is to call them up and see how they can thank you for your loyalty \u2013 you could get a free update! Plus get up to \u00a360 back for your kids when buying with KidStart at EE<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a>, O2<\/a>,<\/strong> and many more.<\/p>\n

When it comes to devices, Apple<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and Samsung<\/a><\/strong><\/span> always lower the price of their phones when a new version is released (up to 2% back).<\/p>\n\n

Insurance \u2013 Don\u2019t be afraid of switching<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Insurance companies normally offer very good prices during the first year of membership to attract new clients \u2013 make sure to take advantage of it and clock up some savings while making the switch to another provider.<\/p>\n

Also, if you get different types of insurance from the same brand \u2013 car and home, for example \u2013 the price will normally be lower.<\/p>\n

You can earn up to \u00a3663 back with LV=<\/strong><\/a>, up to \u00a336 with John Lewis Insurance<\/a><\/strong> and up to \u00a3106 with Aviva<\/a><\/strong>.\n
