Well with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/view\/refer.aspx\">refer a friend<\/a> tool that&#8217;s exactly what you get. We will give you \u00a35 in KidStart Savings for every friend who joins through your unique referral link and goes on to save \u00a35. It&#8217;s a really easy to boost your child&#8217;s savings as well as helping your friend find out about KidStart so they can save for their kids too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shop with high value retailers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using KidStart for everyday purchases is a great way to earn small sums of cashback often and this really adds up. But it&#8217;s our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/view\/highvaluesavings-utilities.aspx\">high value retailers<\/a> in categories like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/category\/Finance-Insurance.aspx\">insurance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/category\/Travel-Holidays.aspx\">travel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/category\/HomeServices-Mobiles.aspx\">TV and broadband<\/a> where you can earn BIG either because of high KidStart Savings rates on offer (we have an insurance partner that pays over \u00a31,000 on a policy!) or from the cost of the purchase like a holiday booking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save on your bills with Octopus Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of the retailers on KidStart pay a one-off amount when you make your purchase or sign up to their service but that&#8217;s not the case with our friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/octopus-energy.aspx\">Octopus Energy<\/a>. With them you can earn an exclusive 1% back on your monthly bills, which means regular cashback for just switching to them. Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re already an existing Octopus customer, fill in your details <a href=\"https:\/\/kidstartuk.typeform.com\/to\/yX0xtKzr\">here<\/a> to link your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invite family and friends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular tools on KidStart is our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/sharekidstart.aspx?tab=Invite\">invite<\/a> functionality, which lets you link family and friends to your child&#8217;s Kiddybank. Any KidStart Savings they earn from their own shopping is then paid into your child&#8217;s account too. It&#8217;s a brilliant and very easy way for grandparents (and others) who want to help save for your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install the Savings Prompt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/view\/kidstartsavingsprompt.aspx\">KidStart Savings Prompt<\/a>, is our free desktop extension that reminds you when you&#8217;re on retailer website&#8217;s or browsing on Google when KidStart Savings are available. If you shop using a PC or laptop then this tool is a must to make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on cashback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep an eye on the homepage and emails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We regularly update the KidStart homepage with the latest offers and savings so it&#8217;s always worth keeping an eye on this page so you don&#8217;t miss out. Our emails are also a great way to keep up to date too, we send weekly newsletters and retailer emails.
