Special Terms

  • Cashback is eligible for new NordVPN customers only.

  • Cashback is eligible only on NordVPN plans, and not on any up-sold products such as NordPass & NordLocker.

  • Cashback may be ineligible if using codes not listed on Cashrewards, and ineligible on any payments made with Crypto currency.

  • Cashback is calculated and paid on the advertised cost of the plan only. It will not include any GST, taxes, credit card or PayPal surcharges.

    Hey guys, and thanks for posting the deal HamBoi69. These tips will help :)

    A new customer is defined by NordVPN, and nothing to do with your Cashrewards account. Simply use a new email address at their end, the same Cashrewards account as always, and you're good to go.

    Click 'Shop Now' or 'Shop Offer' and buy - don't click away to other sites looking for codes and don't use any 3rd party plugins. Best to use the Cashrewards mobile app on 4G/5G as this eliminates potential issues with WiFi/router firewalls etc. Tracking for NordVPN typically takes 1-4 hours.

    Remove any up-sold products from your cart such as NordPass & NordLocker as they are ineligible for cashback.

    A tip from comments in previous posts is to select a country with no GST to save further at checkout as GST is ineligible for cashback.

    And finally please remember you have the safety net of NordVPN's 30-day money back guarantee should tracking fail. All the best :)

    • what is a country with no GST pls ?
      so connect via a country with no GST and then go through CR ?

        so connect via a country with no GST and then go through CR ?

        No. Go through Cashrewards first, then at checkout change to whatever country you wish. As per my comment above, do not exit Nord's website once you click/tap out from Cashrewards. Thanks.

    • +1

      The instructions should say, do not select the Complete plan, and instead selet the standard plan.

    • Is there a deadline of when we have to 'activate' or use it? I have my Surfshark expiring in about 9 months.

      • +1

        It activates when you buy it. Regardless, just hold off until a month or two out as this deal usually appears fairly.regularily.

    • Will this work if transaction is completed while connected to a VPN server?

  • Can anyone on a 1000/50 nbn plan share their speed tests using nord?

    • +2

      I have iiNet Ultra Cable broadband (gets speeds up to 600mbps), tested and get upwards of 300mbps. A very happy customer would highly recommend it, especially with this cashback too!

    • with nord vpn- https://www.speedtest.net/result/13756906011
      no vpn- https://www.speedtest.net/result/13756912688

      On 1000/50 with AB, only 2 devices connected to router, no data hungry browsers or tasks going on.

      Nothing impressive with nord though, have had better speeds in the past.

  • Does the gmail trick as a new email address still work?

    • +1

      You won't know until you try it.

      Why not just create a new Gmail a/c? You can fwd emails to your existing one.

    • +2

      Which state?

      • +3

        His state of mind (bonkers)

        • I was thinking they couldn't run covid checkin, so how they gunna run a vpn service? ;-)

    • +1

      Also interested in which state and any other recommendations and their costs?

      • +1

        Soda-pop believes all VPNs are owned by the 5-eyes aka NSA.

        Probably even thinks Kaspersky sends data to the NSA lol

  • How does this work for AU customers? Do they charge the 10% GST on top of their prices?

    What would be the best plan to get?

    • +1

      The site is really confusing with the cashback. With a few different options available, what is eligible and what isn't?

    • Nord adds 10% GST if you select Australia. You can just change your country to another one to bypass tax.

      When I signed up recently I went with the 2 year plan, VPN Only. As per the above their other apps etc aren’t all eligible.

    • +1

      I see $142.83 (no GST if I select a different country) for the 2-year plan ($5.29/mo) + 3 months FREE.

      I am assuming the above amount is in USD.

      • +1

        That's the complete plan. Change to standard

        • Yes, complete rookie error. There is no cashback for NordPass and NordLocker products.

          Standard = $83.43USD ~ $128AUD

          • @DoctorCalculon: A$115.63 on my Westpac card.
            A$110.09 tracked from Cashrewards.

            • @ohhmygod:

              A$115.63 on my Westpac card.

              Nice!
              Could you please confirm your USD amount paid was $83.43?

              The AUD exchanged amount I quoted above was from Revolut.

  • Not sure if it's the same, but i jumped on one of these deals for surfshark and it made my gaming quite laggy and often had to restart the VPN. Just ended up not using it

    • +4

      Why would you use it for gaming?

      • I don't specifically use it for gaming, like everyone else I use it to keep the data encrypted. I leave it running in the background and if it's not restarted before i launch a game, it's laggy.

  • +2

    A good alternative for surfshark? - my 3 year deal is coming to an end.
    Does nord work on google tv, phone app, desktop app etc the same - does it have dynamic dns for things like bbciplayer too ?
    thx

  • +1

    do these guys have VPN to India? saw that they removed the VPN access from Indian servers

    • +3

      no india

    • -1

      Surfshark has virtual server for India and works flawlessly.

      • -1

        Any deal like this for Surfshark

  • Are there ever any deals for existing customers?

    • no. easy enough to create a new account

  • Thanks, signed up for the first time (leaving PIA). Cashrewards tracking email received about an hour later.

    • Why did you leave PIA? I am trying to do the opposite in December when my Nord subscription expires. Nord doesn’t have India server anymore while PIA does

      • PIA was expiring this month. I only did this to save, no brainer for 2 years + 3 months for almost nothing. PIA was great, good speeds, the App is excellent, no complaints.

  • The old surfshark expires in 3 weeks so jumped aboard back on the VPN merry-go-round.

    Simple as pie via the mobile app. Cheers OP & TA.

  • My NordVPN 2 year plan is coming up to expire now from the last deal. I also have NordPass which I really like. What would be the best strategy here to get the cashback and retain my content?

  • So is "Nord Complete" with NordLocker considered an upsold product and not 97% cashback? Because $2.50 (after cashback) for 1TB of cloud storage for 2 years is not a bad deal, with a VPN to boot.

    It's a plan, not an upsold product, correct?

    • Give it a go and see. Worst case scenario you have the safety net of NordVPN's 30-day money back guarantee should tracking fail.

    • Already tried. You won't get it

    • +1

      Yeah, Tightarse's instructions appear to be out of date, as the plan now includes the extra products.

      I signed up for the complete , then I realised it included the extra products, so I cancelled and signed up again. Now I have to wait for the refund.

      Has anyone had issues with the refund actually getting refunded?

    • Its not included. Mine just tracked and it was not the full amount

  • +1

    Can you cancel the plan immediately so it only runs for 2 years without getting renewed?

    • +2

      Yes you can set it to stop auto renew.
      I noticed when I signed up this time round auto renew wasn't enabled in my subscription.

      • +1

        Thanks, found the option.

  • +5

    Signed up, cashback tracked and email received.
    Paid $115.63 for the standard plan signed up selecting US postcode 90210 using macquarie card. $107.88 cashback so total cost $7.75 for 2 years. Thanks OP!

    • +1

      What was your cost in USD?

    • -3

      Isn’t that tax fraud?

      • +3

    • what is the cash back amount in USD? I just received the tracked email and showing 75.20 USD and 109.29 in aud.

      • +1

        I received same with yours, but pending and due to january 2023 pay out.

        Hope the cashback is not cancelled out by itself once the 30 days lapsed

        • Doesn't Cashrewards offer a cashback guarantee provided you have abided by their T&Cs?

    • Thanks, I just followed your approach using Revolut one-time use card. Got exactly $115.63 charged. Waiting for Cashrewards to get tracked, not happening yet. May I know how long did it take to get tracked?

      • Mine took about an hour or so

        • I have just got my order tracked. Thanks for sharing.

  • +2

    I selected Fiji and it showed no GST/VAT. (Great!)

    I selected the 2 year plan $3.09/mo - US$83.43 (Great!)

    Cash Rewards tracked at USD$75.25 (umm why, when there was no GST?)

    Got charged [email protected] (which is USD$83.43).

    So basically Cashrewards pocketed 97% of the USD$8.18/AUD$12.58 (???)

    So the total refund is more like 86%, not 97%.

    • GST component is excluded from the cashback

      • +2

        yeah but I didnt pay GST.

        Total without GST is USD$83.43
        With GST is USD$91.77

        • Same thing happened to me, bit of a rort by Cashrewards

    • +1

      I put this down to a bug with the website, even though the website says its not adding GST. It still adds it when I selected Fiji.

      Make sure you select USA like @Heybargain and not any random country which shows no GST

      • i selected USA (no GST), still have the similar problem with what you experienced.

        even worse, i only received a pending cashback amount of USD$75.20 (5 cents less than yours when i selected USA)
        not that 5 cents matter, but more to how the heck does the system works… i have no idea.

        • +1

          Up above, tightarse says that the currency gets converted twice, so I think he means it goes from AUD to USD back to AUD.

          Interesting you chose USA and you had the issue. Where @Heybargain chose USA and he didnt have the issue.

    • +1

      Same as you. Maybe CashRewards just assumes all purchases include GST?

      Edit: I just checked and I was only charged $115.63AUD, cashback approved at 109.63AUD or 94.8%. I don't understand where these numbers are coming from, but for 22c/month I'm not going to complain too much lol

  • is surfshark any better than this in terms of performance and privacy? cos shopback offers 90% cb for it.

  • I see 2-year plan ($3.69/mo) + 3 months FREE
    $99.63 How do I get $3.09/mo?

    • same here…

    • Shows up $3.09/m for me.
      Have you tried incognito and see what it shows?

      • +1

        using the CR app to sign up and the amount showed correctly for me.

        • +1

          Yes it worked through the app just now,thanks

    • go to PRICING menu, switch to STANDARD

  • Excellent got one to try out, first VPN service I've ever purchased. Thanks Op!👍

  • +1

    Just purchased this.. charged 127 bux but I can't see any cashback on cashrewards…..

    • +2

      Just got an email: Your cashback has been tracked from NordVPN✌️

  • Anyone else have a payment error? Tried selecting US as the country for no gst but it's say I dont have enough funds in my account. I definitely have enough. Do I need to use a specific card?

    • had similar experience in morning. Tried now, it worked.Thanks OP. Now waiting for cashback email :)

      • No problem here.
        Used Citibank.
        Crome Incognito
        Hope that helps.

  • +1

    Would love to see Express VPN with 100% cashback…😜😜🤣🤣🤣
    I know guys, I am dreaming…🙄🙄😴😴

    • 110% so you get the gst portion as well :)

  • -1

    I currently have a 3yr Nord Subscription (soon to expire). If I sign up for this "new" account using a different email address, I assume I also have to create a new Cashrewards account under that same/alternative email account? That's a bit of a pain…

    • +2

      As TA said in his comment above,

      A new customer is defined by NordVPN, and nothing to do with your Cashrewards account. Simply use a new email address at their end, the same Cashrewards account as always, and you're good to go.

  • I didn't remove NordPass & NordLocker, I did check but couldn't see it!

    They don't refund them either, so had to refund the whole purchase. stupid.

  • Do most people bother using a different email to join a VPN or don't worry about it?

    • I have 2 emails. One for personal, the other for shopping.

      So pretty clear ill be using my junk email.

  • I have a question re Nord and auto renewals.

    Is it easy to turn off? or do I need to remember to cancel in 27 months time?

    What usually happens around that time? to they notify by Mail?

    My CC expires in 28 months. typical.

    • if you read the above, its very easy and you can do it straight away.

  • I just ordered but forgot to turn off my ad block, it looks like it didnt track fml. Should i refund and reorder it using CR app.

    • Yeah, but note that you might want to create a new Nord account just to be safe!

      • How quick do you see the cashback tracking show up in your account?

        • About an hour, but remember you can always send a claim in and you have the safety of the 30 day money back guarantee from Nord. YMMV

  • +1

    Just purchased this. Haven't activated it yet but all seems good so far.

    Kept showing up as $99.63 USD for the in both chrome and firefox (PC) for the same "Standard" VPN-only plan.
    I installed CR app on android, logged in to my existing CR acct and was able to get the $83.43 USD offer, so purchased.
    Selected USA, random postcode. 0% GST/VAT/Tax. Used 28 degrees card but no option to pay in USD. whatever.

    So billed and credited CB. CB accepted and pending, relatively quickly.

    Purchase in AUD: $115.63, as many mentioned before.
    CR Credit in AUD $110.09 (USD $75.32) - slightly better than others mentioned.

    So assuming this is approved, 27 months VPN for $5.54 AUD, 20 cents a month. I don't have an emoji for how good that is.

    Works out 95% off for me, but I won't be writing in any letters of complaint.

    • +1

      Got the same deal but only $110.06 back. For 20c/month, winning!
