Register for the Family Parent / Guardian Account
Once you have installed the Rewards Kids app, parents/guardians will be asked to register for an account. You can register with your email address by creating a new password, or alternatively use an existing Google account or your Apple ID:
To create a new account, tap the "Sign up for Parent account":
You can now choose whether you want to create an account using your email address and a chosen password, or use your existing Google account or Apple ID:
-
Click "Continue with Email Address" to enter an existing email address and then create a new password. Your password must be at least 8 characters and contain at least one capital, one lower case and one symbol. Once you have entered your details, you will be sent an email to confirm your email addresss. Please check your email and click the link in the email from "Rewards Kids". Then return to the app and tap "I have confirmed my email". Finally, you will be asked to accept our Terms and Conditions and then you will see our 'New Parent' screen.
-
Click "Continue with Google" to login with your existing Google Account. You will be prompted to enter your existing Google username/password and will then be asked to accept our Terms and Conditions. Once authorised, you will see our 'New Parent' screen.

Click "Continue with Apple" to login with your existing Apple ID. When logging in with Apple, you can choose whether to use your real email address or hide your email address- either is supported with Rewards Kids. You can authenticate using normal Apple ID password or other authentication methods such as Face ID. Once authorised, you will see our 'New Parent' screen.
Follow the next section to set up your Rewards Kids family!
Creating a Family
The next step is to create a Rewards Kids family. The Rewards Kids family groups together parents/guardians and children.
If someone in your family has already created a Rewards Kids family, and they have invited you using your email address, you will see the family name appear on the "Setup Family" screen. Simply select the family name and you will join the family.
If you are the first parent/guardian in your family to use Rewards Kids then please tap "Setup a new Family". You can then add your children and other parents to it. Enter a "Family Name", which is normally your family's last name / surname, choose a Currency for your children's piggy bank. Finally when asked to enter a 'Nickname', enter 'Dad' or 'Mum' or whatever name your children call you. Tap 'Create' and your Rewards Kids family will be created.
You will be returned to the Rewards Kids home screen where you can see summary information about your Family and its children / parents.
Adding Children
Now that your Rewards Kids family is created, it's time to add your children. From the Family page, tap "Add Child" and you'll see the following screen:
Enter the child's first name, last name (which will default to the family name), and then optionally choose to 'Create Family Code OTP'. This is a premium feature that allows the child to log in to Rewards Kids on their own device and manage their points, piggy bank and screen time. See this guide for more information. Click 'Confirm' to add the child to your Rewards Kids family.
The Rewards Kids home screen will now show the children in your family:
Continue to add any other children in your family.
