Ride and Shop is a free browser extension designed to help you save money while you shop online. It gives you discount codes across the UK’s favourite retailers, which can be applied at checkout.  

The extension uses algorithms to scan the web for discount codes. Ride and Shop is operated by Kindred Soul Ltd, who partner with various retailers and coupon providers to surface a wide range of discounts.  

Ride and Shop is free to use. Our mission is to help you save money while shopping online, and we provide that valuable service free of charge. 

Note that National Rail and Kindred may receive commissions from our merchant partners when Ride and Shop is used to find available savings. These commissions are payable by the retailer, and do not affect the price of any products after discount.

Ride and Shop is designed to provide a comprehensive shopping experience. For optimal results, we recommend using the extension as your primary tool for finding and applying the best deals. However, it is possible to use Ride and Shop alongside other coupon or discount extensions.  

Although Kindred Soul Ltd works towards providing you with discounts across as many stores as possible, there will be instances where no offers are available for a particular retailer.  

If Ride and Shop isn't showing coupons on any retailer sites, please check that it has been enabled and has permission to read data. Discount codes can only be shown where Ride and Shop has access to read the data from the site and identify the retailer. If you continue to experience issues, you can contact Kindred Soul Ltd for further support using NRE@kindredteam.com.

When raising issues with Kindred teams, we appreciate if you could provide us with as much detail as possible for us, including:  

• The site(s) you’re facing issues with.  

• Your browser type and version. 

• Your device type and version of the operating system. 

The use of Ride and Shop does not impact your rights to returns or exchanges, per the guidelines set by each retailer. If you have enquiries or issues with your purchase, please contact the retailer directly. 

Kindred Soul Limited (which operates Ride and Shop) is responsible for the operation of the browser extension and collects the following data from your device as this is necessary to operate the Ride and Shop service: 

• Randomly assigned anonymous click ID for each site you visit 

• Kindred user ID 

• Website URL 

• Your device model, operating system and browser type. 

For more details, please refer to the Ride & Shop Privacy Policy. 

The browser extension does not collect or store any data which directly identifies you.

For more details, please refer to the Kindred National Rail Privacy Notice or contact Kindred directly using the email address NRE@kindredteam.com. 

The browser extension technically reads every page you visit in order to identify the retailer and surface discount codes, if available. In order to apply these codes automatically at checkout, where that functionality is available and selected by you, the browser extension also requires access to the page to make changes.   

The ability to ‘read and change’ data is how browser extensions typically operate. The use of this data is limited to what is necessary to provide you with Ride and Shop. Kindred does not make or keep a profile of your general browsing.
