HamBoi69 on 22/07/2023 - 09:08 cashrewards.com.au (2086 clicks)

Back again is this increase at NordVPN for new customers. Offer ends July 24 11:59pm AEST.

Be sure to check the terms below and TA's handy tips here

And as mentioned in the terms below in bold don't add any of the upsold products. A lot of people do and wonder why their cashback is lower. If you make a mistake you can cancel for a refund.

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.

The amount that tracks to your Cashrewards account may differ to the paid amount due to international exchange rates. Your initial payment is converted to USD, then converted back to AUD when reported to us. The advertised cashback rate is based on the reported amount, not the paid amount. Cashrewards has no control over this process.

Enjoy!

    Hey guys, and thanks for posting @HamBoi69. Will drop these handy tips here, as they’ve helped many buyers previously. Have a great weekend :)

    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. Pay with a card that does not charge overseas transaction fees.

    And finally please remember you have the safety net of NordVPN's 30-day money back guarantee should tracking fail or if you’re not happy with the product. All the best :)

      Hey @tightarse, thanks for the instructions. There's so many options in their plans. All their plans have been discounted by 66%. Does the cashback still apply? (Even better)

      Ps, looking to get a 2 year.

      • oziebee on 22/07/2023 - 10:57

        yes even I had the same question

        • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 22/07/2023 - 11:09
          +2

          All plans (discounted or not) are eligible for 96% cashback (2-year, 1-year, monthly) but not any up-sold products within the plans (as described above). So unless you really need or want the extras, best option (IMHO) is to simply choose one of the Standard plans and not Plus or Complete. Hope this helps :)

            @tightarse: I purchased two 2 year plans using different emails addresses. Only one got tracked via Cashrewards. The second one still hasn't tracked.
            Is there a limit how many cashback we can get using a single cashrewards account?

            • PeeDee on 22/07/2023 - 23:41

    Hi, first time using cash rewards. How long does it take to show the transaction in my cash rewards account? I'm worried I've just paid full price and won't get cashback. Thanks!

    • M00Cow on 22/07/2023 - 09:40

      Usually a few hours to a day.
      Bit I believe Nord has a 30 day money back. So you can get a refund if it doesn't track.

      I'll be interested how much you paid & the CR amount. Previously I only got ~87% back (even had my address in a no sales tax/gst place).

          It's fine for general location-spoofing use like that. If you're interested in privacy though it doesn't rate as high as other such as mullvad & proton.

        • bayleyb on 22/07/2023 - 13:21

          If you use Kayo for F1, I highly recommend Windscribe VPN. It's the only VPN I have found to work with Kayo and I've tested a few including Nord.

        • bataleon on 22/07/2023 - 20:41

          I use Nord for F1TV via a Fire 4K Max and it works flawlessly, and is so much better than Kayo!

      I’m using Private Internet Access (PIA) now but was using NordVPN before this. I miss Nord tbh, PIA for some reason kept showing me captcha for Google search (Nord never did) plus on iOS PIA doesn’t have a snooze function (Nord did) so sometimes I forget to reconnect. In terms of the quality/speed of connection both were fine when connected - I just miss the features of Nord.

      Positive change on the first point though is I made the switch from Google to DuckDuckGo which is probably better from a privacy standpoint and not relying on so many Google services (and gladly no captcha shown each time I want to do a search).

    Lol. Took out a 2 year standard plan, set the country to a non-GST one. Total was $86 or so, paid for it and got a receipt / charge for $136.. Are there some US / AUD currency conversion shenanigans going on, or did I just get played?

    • maxdeals505 on 22/07/2023 - 11:26

      86 USD —> $136 AUD

      🤷‍♂️

      • DirtyBoots on 22/07/2023 - 11:36

        Yeah, makes sense. If the pricing was in USD, was just a bit surprised to get an invoice straight into AUD without some mention of the $86 USD cost.

    Is NordVPN still good after the security breach?
    I used to be with CyberGhost and it used to be good but I did not resubscribe after my subscription lapsed because I got sick at almost every website I visited required me to do a captcha challenge. It was tedious.

    I tried ProtonVPN and Mullvad and they were so so.

  • Fatboy74 on 22/07/2023 - 16:55

    Well that was interesting.
    Signed up for NordVPN only to discover that it doesn't allow the running of Remote Desktop Connection app to access my media server.

    I hope the refund is as smooth as the signing up!

    • turnipy on 22/07/2023 - 22:06

      It does support Remote Desktop. There is a setting in NordVPN app to enable Remote Desktop apps and also turn off stay invisible on local network. Whilst it works, there are a few limitations I have found. If I am on the same network and want to RDP to a PC using nordVPN, I can only RDP using the IP address of the PC, not its computer name. RDP over the internet (if you are ok opening such a hole) works fine.

      • Fatboy74 on 23/07/2023 - 09:23

        I really appreciate the reply. Using your advice and some tech support from Nord, I was able to get it working.

    • HamBoi69 on 22/07/2023 - 19:17
      +1

      From ChatGPT:

      Getting a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can offer you various benefits that enhance your online experience, security, and privacy. Here are some key advantages of using a VPN:

      1. Enhanced Security: A VPN encrypts your internet connection, making it much harder for hackers, cybercriminals, or even your internet service provider (ISP) to intercept and view your online activities. This added security is especially crucial when using public Wi-Fi networks, which are often unsecured and vulnerable to attacks.

      2. Privacy Protection: By using a VPN, your IP address is masked, and your online activities become more private. Websites and online services won't be able to track your real location, providing you with a higher level of anonymity while browsing the internet.

      3. Bypass Geo-restrictions: VPNs allow you to access content and websites that might be blocked or restricted in your region. This can include streaming services, social media platforms, and other websites that may not be available in your country.

      4. Anonymous Torrenting: If you engage in torrenting or file sharing, a VPN can help hide your IP address from other users, reducing the risk of potential legal issues related to copyright infringement.

      5. Avoid Bandwidth Throttling: Some ISPs may intentionally slow down your internet connection (throttle) when they detect specific types of online activities, such as streaming or gaming. Using a VPN can help you bypass such throttling, ensuring a smoother online experience.

      6. Safer Online Banking and Transactions: When using a VPN, your sensitive information, such as login credentials and financial details, are encrypted. This can prevent hackers from intercepting your data and helps secure online transactions.

      7. Access to Public Networks Safely: VPNs protect your data when using public Wi-Fi, reducing the risk of falling victim to man-in-the-middle attacks or data interception.

      8. Remote Access to Corporate Networks: Businesses often use VPNs to allow their employees to securely access company resources and files from remote locations, ensuring a safer connection.

      9. Gaming Benefits: VPNs can provide lower latency and reduce lag during online gaming sessions by connecting you to servers closer to the game's servers, potentially improving your gaming performance.

      10. Circumvent Censorship: In countries with strict internet censorship, a VPN can be used to bypass these restrictions and access blocked websites and services.

      11. Privacy from ISP Monitoring: A VPN prevents your ISP from monitoring your online activities, ensuring more privacy and freedom while browsing the internet.

      12. Protection against Public Surveillance: VPNs can help safeguard against mass surveillance and data collection by government agencies or other entities.

      Overall, a VPN is a valuable tool that helps protect your online presence, keeps your data secure, and allows you to access the internet more freely and privately. However, it's essential to choose a reputable VPN provider to ensure reliable service and the highest level of security.

    • browser on 23/07/2023 - 10:44

      Almost a must if you use public Wi-Fi often (shopping centres, hotels, airports, etc). As you have no idea who's running them and how secure are they.

      Also handy to bypass geofencing, to use services and check information restricted to other regions. But this is getting less effective as service provides actively backlist VPN servers and use other technologies to detect users' real locations. But still has its values.

      Privacy, if you want to minimise your online footprint.

      • bailbondsh on 23/07/2023 - 15:00

        Thanks for this. What about to download things …………………… ?

        • browser on 23/07/2023 - 16:57

          That's part of privacy protection. If they trace your IP address, it will stop at NordVPN, instead of your ISP, so they don't know who you are.

          If NordVPN really maintains no logs, then it will be difficult to trace: https://nordvpn.com/features/strict-no-logs-policy/

          But I think there's always a way if the matter is serious enough, there are specialist tools and technologies to assist with legitimate investigations.

          • bailbondsh on 23/07/2023 - 17:18

        I have seen them advertised on some of the YouTube channels the my husband watches where they talk about VPN's. I have seen VPN's advertised where they talk about the ability to use streaming services from other countries but I am unsure of how that works. So I was asking here where can I read more about them as I thought this was the best forum to ask that question.

    Does anyone have a workaround for email servers via Outlook 2016 or Outlook

    • zoidberg-machine on 24/07/2023 - 18:53

      I contacted support via the live chat button on the website and requested a refund - they asked why and just said it didn't work for me properly and then the person said they would process the refund and I'd see the money within 5 - 10 days. However, I never received any confirmation of this and the subscription still shows as active when I log in - but I'll give it a bit more time before I ask them to cancel and refund again.

      • glyptothek on 24/07/2023 - 19:31

        Which Is why I paid by Amex charge card - Amex will remove the charge from account if you have done due diligence, you give them proof you have attempted refund Then it is up to merchant to prove they are legally entitled to not refund you This was helpful just as covidemic hit and had to get money back from cheats like Swiss Int Airlines and Singapore Air - other vendors eg hotels.com, AmericanAir.com hilton.TLV Qatar.com gave money back almost stright away and had a conscience

    for the record I signed up successfully (with a new email) but Nord cancelled/refunded within 24hrs with zero comms. I only noticed it because I got a refund notification on my credit card. Not sure why but putting it out there.

    PS: Ended up signing with PIA (currently 95% off CR). Overall about 40% cheaper too. Not sure about performance etc but it'll do for my purposes.

    I missed this deal. Will there be any deals in the near future do you thin?
