Free Savings For Your Kids

Options
I have recently discovered a site called Kidstart that allows you to save for your children as you shop, so those of you who are like me & do alot of online shopping your savings can soon mount up.
The site has links to a number of high street retailers from Asda to John Lewis so whatever you are looking to spend your money on there is a retailer on there that will stock it, each retailer puts a different percentage of your spend back into your kiddie bank & when you have £10 in there you can transfer it into your childs savings account, you can even split the savings between a number of children.
So those of you that do your weekly shop online, why not click through this site & earn your children savings at the same time (Asda, Sainsburys & Tesocs are on there), or if you are using Argos at Christmas time they have a link as well.
See www.kidstart.co.uk.:money:

    Good idea :)

    And if you don't have children, donate your 'earnings' to your favourite charity: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/

  • Thanks very much for this OP.
    It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

    I think Lloyds TSB also have some sort of a "round up" system, where when you make a purchase on your debit card, they round it up to the nearest pound and that extra change gets put into a savings account. Not the same sort of thing I know, but I liked it. Was it Lloyds? I think it was.

    EDIT: Here it is http://www.lloydstsb.com/savings/save_the_change.asp
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.
