Save money free for your kids: up to 20% every time you shop

Forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere, but I'd never heard of it, and it sounds like a great idea. Just found out about from an article in The Times:

"Children's perks
When parents sign up to KidStart.co.uk, they earn up to 20 per cent back on purchases made on their debit or credit cards at hundreds of online or high-street retailers. This cash is deposited in either a Child Trust Fund or a nominated children's savings account. It is free to join, and is also open to grandparents or friends."

See http://www.kidstart.co.uk/

Seems you can get grandparents to do it, too - all helps!

Thanks for the spot - it's worth watching because it looks quite new still and amounts can vary between cashback sites.

It's similar to Quidco, moneyback on purchases, it would pay to check the savings though -

for example,

M&S 4% kidstart, 5% quidco

Prudential car insurance, £38 kidstart, but a whopping £75 at Quidco.

I get my Quidco paid into my account I use for child benefit, so it stays separate from the main account where it would be swallowed up.

Hope this helps!
