I’ll grab this deal, not to use it as VPN but for the profit. As a user confirmed here, can make some easy money out of this. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14252181/redir
Perhaps even up to $44

    How does this compare to NordVPN for streaming services? I only use these sort of VPNs for streaming services like BBC iPlayer and Max etc?

      I've been using it for a couple of years just because it came as part of a lifetime deal. It's okay. Average speed when I'm DL Linux distros, it tops around the 3M/S at off peak times . There are only three torrent servers available on pure VPN located France, Romania and Canada, Ontario. Works ok for streaming, Netflix US etc.. YMMV

    • creeps_bay on 05/09/2023 - 16:17

      After using NordVPN and PureVPN, I would personally prefer NordVPN, it's bit more faster and has less troubles

  • ozjaki on 05/09/2023 - 08:07

    Sign up to the 3 year deal + Pure Max + dedicated IP with port forwarding, which totals to $234.59 USD, you get $304.20 USD cashback, so over $100 AUD net profit?

    • kwchaz on 05/09/2023 - 08:13

      Often the promotion is only specifically on a particular product type - I know nordvpn had a few people get caught out thinking they could sign up for all the premium services, but the cashback was only on the VPN part.

      Aaaand in the Notes on Shopback:

      Cashback is only eligible for New PureVPN Customers only
      Cashback is not applicable for Add-on items
      Excludes taxes, fees or additional extras

      Also listed in the Don'ts section:

      Cashback is not payable for Existing PureVPN Customers and any Add-on items

      • ozjaki on 05/09/2023 - 08:15

        Ah didn't read the fine print. Cheers for pointing that out.

        So the better deal to sign up (in terms of cashback profit) would be the more expensive 2 year + 4 months deal for $95.95 USD. (instead of the 3 year plan for $79.95 USD)

      I've heard it's impossible to cancel. I'm not sure if Australian Consumer Law applies to these foreign providers. So buy beware. If you really must, use a reloadable visa / mastercard if it works.

    Just don't expect the money any time soon, I bought and tracked on June 11 and still waiting for cashback. I can't understand why don't pay the cashback once the refund period had ended.

    • FujinShu on 05/09/2023 - 13:07

      Try lodging a ticket with Shopback if it's past the date they give you the cashback. It'll take a while, but you'll presumably get the cashback faster than if you didn't.

    Damn, I participated in one of the last 120% cashback deals they had. Could have waited almost 3 months and made an extra 10%.
    Where (or who) do I return my OzBargain membership card to?

    • xers on 05/09/2023 - 11:37

      You could create a new PureVPN account and take advantage of this deal as well?

      • Empharand on 05/09/2023 - 11:39

        That likely wouldn't work. I have already done one through ShopBack, I could be wrong but that would essentially invalidate me for another round as it's for New PureVPN Customers only which I have already received cashback for (Currently 'Pending' awaiting to be 'Confirmed') so technically I'm no longer a New PureVPN Customer (Per se)

        • xers on 05/09/2023 - 11:47
          +3

          I don't think ShopBack cares. They will pay you based on what's reported from PureVPN.

          I used to do this with DoorDash, created over 10+ new accounts and got $20 cashback each time, on the same Shopback account.

  • jkiller295 on 05/09/2023 - 11:53

    • Empharand on 05/09/2023 - 12:12

      I'm sure the majority of people these days use a combination of Free services (TikTok, Facebook, Google (and it's various services), X, Instagram etc) and everyone uses Android or iOS so if you're concerned about this one Free product (after cashback) then you're definitely dismissing the ways you have been the product previously. I'm sure you have also been a dirty little product willful participant in many of the 'You're the product' opportunities available.

      Just another to add to the list..

    • nikoris on 05/09/2023 - 22:16

  • ripp3r on 05/09/2023 - 12:46

    So the real amount of cashback would be
    $95.95 x 0.9 = $86.35 before gst $86.35 x 1.3 = $112.25 cashback
    112.25 - 86.35 = $16.3 Profit

    I took the plunge yesterday, bought a 24 month plan, and ShopBack tracked within a few hours.
    I used a spoof email from SimpleLogin, but my regular UBank card.

    However, I just received an email from PureVPN saying my subscription has 'expired', and my account no longer active. Logged in to my account, and confirmed I no longer have an 'active' account.
    I checked my card, and looks like there is a refund pending, but this will obviously invalidate the ShopBack.

    I contacted PureVPN support, and they said someone from the relevant team would respond within 24 hours.

    I can only see examples of PureVPN cancelling 'lifetime' subscriptions, so we'll see what they come back with.

        Looks like it may have been my bank, though it's still not clear.

        I received the below response from PureVPN which mentions the chargeback, though they go on to mention they have initiated a refund, which they wouldn't have to do if it was a chargeback.

        I've asked my bank if they processed a chargeback without my request, but am still waiting to receive a response. Hopefully this hasn't happened to anyone else.

        Dear PureVPN Member,

        Thank you for reaching PureVPN.

        We are here to inform you that we have received an email regarding the chargeback. So it has been refunded automatically.

        Your refund request has been initiated, you will receive your refund within the next 5 to 7 working days depending on the payment method you have used at the time of payment.

        If you want to continue with us you can buy our subscription with new email.

        We are offering our customers a discounted price, for a limited time. highly discounted deals that you can avail of.

    I still have a valid PureVPN subscription (got a 5-year subscription two years ago). I don't actually use it as I have NordVPN as well.

    I bought the PureVPN because at that stage I managed to get a dedicated IP address with a significant discount, and also got cashback (I believe I paid around $30 for the 5 years including the US dedicated IP).

    When I used PureVPN two years ago, it was not good in terms of speed and unblocking streaming (hit and miss). The dedicated US IP was slow and wouldn't work for streaming, the reason why I've completely given up.

    Support was based in HK and was not great. The TV app didn't work properly, and support will keep asking to do stupid pointless stuff before saying they couldn't help.
