Sounds like a no brainer deal really. Can't go wrong with spending just a few bucks (in currency exchange) zero bucks giving you a plan lasting over several years
Update: I paid A$109 for a 3 year plan and ShopBack initially tracked A$103.65 as the cashback (but we are told it will be updated to $109 i.e. 100% cashback as confirmed by the store rep in the comments.

Notes
Excludes taxes, fees or additional extras
Cashback is only valid for New Private Internet Access Customers
Due to currency fluctuations, discrepancies may apply to the cashback amount you receive. Please note that the purchase amount ShopBack receives is not what your bank charges you, but what Private Internet Access reports back to us in AUD.

ShopBack must be the last link you clicked in order to get Cashback. If other website links are clicked after clicking through ShopBack, Cashback will not be tracked (E.g. coupon websites and deal websites)
Return to ShopBack and clickthrough to Private Internet Access every time you are making a new transaction
Accounts that engage in fraudulent orders/activities to game/cheat the Cashback system will be banned and Cashback forfeited.

    Just a bit cautious, DONTS: cashback is not payable on purchases through Private Internet Access App.

    They mean the PIA app right not the Shopback App?

    • singhdeals on 26/07/2021 - 10:51
      +1

      Yup, sounds like it wouldn't cover any in-app purchases made within PIA app, which makes sense.

      • PeeDee on 26/07/2021 - 10:55

        but how does that even work if it is the case? You are purchasing directly from PIA so shopback isn't there

        • singhdeals on 26/07/2021 - 10:59
          +2

          As in after you make the initial VPN purchase if you were to make any further in-app purchases within PIA app it won't cover that: it's fairly straightforward mate, don't complicate it for you and others. Just follow the link and pay for the plan of your choice following the instructions on ShopBack page. Cheers.

  • zylyz on 26/07/2021 - 10:45

    What's the take on dedicated IP address … is that part of cashback

    • singhdeals on 26/07/2021 - 10:51
      +5

      I'll doubt it mate. Normally these cashbacks only cover the VPN plan and not the add-ons.

    • this is us on 26/07/2021 - 15:49

      Dedicated IP was included when I got PureVPN cashback months ago (but I can't recommend PureVPN).

  • Sheng on 26/07/2021 - 10:51

    Does PIA have access to China network? I remember it did for a while but no sure anymore since I've been using Nord for a while. I would assume so that it is owned by Cyberghost now.

      Around a couple of hours mate. Also, it doesn't track you can cancel your plan for a refund within 30 days with PIA.

  • blackfrancis75 on 26/07/2021 - 10:54

    It seems like a no-brainer if you accept that PIA is a good VPN provider. For myself, PIA was awful and only switching to SurfShark fixed things for me. YMMV

    • scight90 on 26/07/2021 - 10:58

      How did you determine whether it was bad?

  • R3XNebular on 26/07/2021 - 10:57

    I used PIA for a while and although it was a good VPN in most respects, it never worked for changing netflix regions or accessing UK services including BBC iPlayer. I switched to Surfshark which works much better.

    • Bargain-er on 26/07/2021 - 11:11

      This is probably a stupid question. No way i can cast to TV using VPN on mobile yea? Tried this with PIA in the past. Thanks.

      • Avalanche on 26/07/2021 - 12:53

        Unfortunately don't think it is possible to cast when on vpn

        • Clarky77 on 26/07/2021 - 13:36
          +1

          I think it's possible but it requires having the VPN added to your router/wifi it's beyond my technical know how but I looked into it a while back. You can get lots of info in Whirlpool forums if you ask questions there (seems to have a lot of IT people)

          • h2g2 on 26/07/2021 - 18:37

            @Clarky77: You are correct. For casting to work, both devices need to be in the same network. So, if you configure the VPN directly on your router, the casting will work.

            • Bargain-er on 26/07/2021 - 23:19

              @h2g2: Any clue how to configure vpn on router? Thanks

                +1

                @Bargain-er: That comes down to your Router brand and capabilities. Best Google "PIA VPN your router model"
                NordVPN is better (I found) as they have VPN client connection capability (again on capable routers). This makes it easier to turn on/off and quickly change preferred locations.

              • Spendwisely on 27/07/2021 - 16:20

                @Bargain-er: Would this work directly on TV,? Planning to use it with Kodi. Anyone using this or any other VPN service which works directly on TV can help please?

  • Spun on 26/07/2021 - 11:07

    I've been waiting over a month for Shopback to investigate my denied referral cashback. Legitimate referral, denied without explanation after all steps were complete.

      Minimise use with the bad apple ones .

    • Store Repgotyourback @ ShopBack AU on 26/07/2021 - 11:31
      +3

      Here are the standard rules we ask users to follow to allow for the best tracking:

      • Ensure the last link you clicked was our ShopBack one
      • Don't use any VPNs or any Adblockers while shopping as it will cause issues with tracking your purchase
      • Don't apply any un-approved discount codes
      • Don't pay with gift cards
      • Any officially accepted payment methods will work fine

      If any issues arise, just send me a DM so I can sort it out.

    NOTE that there have been users who bought PIA via Shopback in the past who have had their cashback's denied by Shopback because They turned Auto Renew OFF, with PIA saying they cancelled their service, and if you cancel their service not eligible for cashback.
    That is a scam, because Cancelling is about buying a service then refunding, not turning off auto renewal

    • PeeDee on 26/07/2021 - 12:47
      +4

      Yeah, and it doesn't even say anything about that in the T&Cs. It's really unfair practice. Escalate to ACCC. I think guys from ozbargain, keep your records and documentations of all past issues in the event of the ACCC needing evidence, we would have an ample amount.

    • neilpatrickharris on 26/07/2021 - 13:22
      +1

      So if I leave auto renew turned on, I'll get my cash back? I can then turn off auto renew? If it's not renewing in 3 years I can just set a reminder town the track I guess.

      I mean it's still pretty shitty of them to decline cashback but this seems like a workaround.

      • bobvegas on 26/07/2021 - 13:25
        +4

        Yeah, wait until you get paid by shopback, then turn auto renew off, OR if you have zip pay, generate a single use virtual credit card number and use that to pay, then you don't need to turn auto renew off, as the card is only single use

    I'm surprised to hear all these negative comments about SB. Are you guys using the app? A long time ago I had an issue when I used the browser on my phone but since the app has had its own browser built in I've never had any issues. I was always told to delete/clear cookies when using browser as well before the app added built in browser.
    I've had way more issues with Cash Rewards but even then I've always had the issues resolved eventually.

    Feels a bit too good to be true. 1 year cashback, sure, you've got people renewing at full price after. But 3 years is a long time to hope they'll stick around long enough after to recuperate.

    Anybody suggest a believable business model here? Robinhood's?

      • Janko on 26/07/2021 - 15:49

        Yeah, not sounding too private. Have been with PIA for about 8 years, finally didn't renew this year as it was quite expensive for my little use, and dream machine routers are a pain to configure for it.

        But it concerns me it's effectively free now.

    Does PIA support SOCKS5 proxy connections?

  • s0805 on 26/07/2021 - 16:43

    Newbie query. We are thinking of using overseas subscription services being Indian TV channels. we can subscribe to them in rupees (to make it cheaper) and plan to use it here in Aus. Is it safe to assume with this PIA, we could utilize that, how could you know if they have vpn server in India to facil our needs. Also, how does this work, once i subscribe and download this app, what do we do next?

    • archieduh on 26/07/2021 - 17:12

      Hit and miss usually (don't have experience with Indian apps). For any service it depends. Like bbc iPlayer used to work on some vpns but doesn't now.
      U can always take a trial and see if it works.
      And in this case with cashback it's effectively free anyways.
      I don't have any need for vpn but just keeping it for future unknown use.

      Also you can post in the forum to start such discussions.

      • Borg on 26/07/2021 - 18:28

      • s0805 on 26/07/2021 - 19:01

        Thanks for explaining. How does this work in practice after we download the app. We have NBN at home, does it automatically converts our internet connection to VPN if we use this app and then run the oversease subscription on that internet?
