Kidstart

Has anyone heard of or is anybody using the kidstart shopping club?

It sounds like a good idea to me but I am worried about giving my credit card numbers out online.

Hi Newbie,
I've been using kidstart.co.uk for about 2 years now and have saved over £500 for my 4 year old and my 2 year old. It really is easy and free to sign up. I normally get about 3-5% back on almost all online purchases - including John Lewis, Mothercare and even things like travel at Expedia. For most purchases you don't need to register your credit cards with kidstart - you just use the links from their website. The only hard part is remembering to go to the website before shopping! They are also regulated by the FSA so I think it's safer than a lot of online businesses.

To be honest kidstart is just a simple way for me to know that I am doing something extra for my kids without much effort at all. It almost makes the shopping guilt free - which helps in this economy!

The "kid" slant is just a marketing wheeze. They are plenty of other cashback shopping sites that do the same job and give you cash back. Quidco and Topcashback to name two. Take your pick.
