When you get to December there are lots of bills and you're having to buy lots of presents. With hampsta I have peace of mind that this great big sum of money that I haven't thought about all year and I'm able to buy everything I need.
"I was able to afford a very nice Xmas last year . I did my food shopping to celebrate with my family and catered for 25 people also hired some bouncy castles and also managed to buy each member in my family two gifts each. It’s been very busy for my family and myself. I’m so grateful and beyond blessed to be able to use this system to help save for the end of the year . I struggle to save and this takes a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I can afford to provide for myself and my family."
"I've been a member from the start, I still have the orange card!! We use some for Xmas lunch and the rest for presents. Great having Payze!"
"Have always wanted to join hampsta since roughly 2005/2006 to where I never did. Since joining in 2025, I'm glad I have. It's peace of mind knowing that we will be sorted for the festive season, along with getting to purchase our own goods not pre packed goods like chrisco. As a friend has also told me that hampsta has I wide variety of retailers to shop with, gas for the vehicle being one retailer. That's great news!!! Looking forward to spending some if not all when the account gets opened up near the end of year to do shopping"
"I have been with hampsta since the beginning. It makes Christmas every year a blast. Putting away a lil bit each week during the year makes Christmas more affordable, i couldn't do without it."
"I have been with Hampstai think since 2009. The driving force was struggling to have a stress free Christmas and going into debt trying to by my only child at the time presents. Every year since I've been able to not only buy all my other children, and my whanau presents. We've been able to have food, go away on trips because of Hampsta. Even through financial difficulties stopping Hampsta was never an option. This year I have finally been able to increase the amount I'm saving, and I'm very excited that we will have more saved up to have an even better Christmas break."
"Hampsta has been wonderful for me and my family, not having to find money at Christmas time for presents and food. It's even great for petrol. I love hampsta"
