NordVPN: 98% Cashback (Uncapped) for New VPN Plan Customers @ Cashrewards

DeeCee on 12/11/2023 - 09:56 cashrewards.com.au (2022 clicks)

Back on again.. For those who think CR tracks better than SB - CB 2% better than the last time on CR.

Perfect timing for me, who got the Black Friday deal two years ago..

Special terms
Cashback is eligible for new NordVPN customers only.

Cashback is eligible only on NordVPN plans

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.

Cashback is ineligible on the following:

Any up-sold products such as NordPass & NordLocker.
Purchases using coupon codes not listed on Cashrewards.
Purchases made with Crypto currency.
GST, other taxes and delivery fees.
Purchase of gift cards or use of gift cards for full or partial payment.
Purchase that are cancelled, returned, exchanged or refunded.
GST, other taxes and delivery fees.
Fraudulent transactions.
Purchases using any type of discount which lowers price advertised on the Merchant site, including but not limited to employee discounts, student discounts and price-matching.

    Hey guys, and thanks for posting this deal @DeeCee. Will drop these handy tips here, as they’ve helped many buyers previously. Have an enjoyable Sunday :)

    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.

    All plans (discounted or not, excluding upsold products) are eligible for 95% cashback (2-year, 1-year, monthly). Remove up-sold products such as NordPass & NordLocker as they are ineligible for cashback. 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.

    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.

      First time using Cashrewards and I've followed all of your steps. Does it take a while for Cashrewards to show up on MyRewards? I'm assuming I just wait a few hours and it'll pop up in MyRewards sections and just go from there?

    • lovedemfinds on 12/11/2023 - 13:58

      Hi TA,
      I've signed up (never used a VPN before) & selected the standard plan (no add-ons) with a no GST country, but it's being tracked as 95% instead of 98%.
      I used PayPal & a credit card to pay.
      Thanks

          So the reported amount on the tracking email is $80.73 USD ($126.50 AUD paid)
          Tracked amount is $120.64 AUD?
          Just a little confused. I actually paid in AUD using Norfolk Island as the country as suggested in a previous post.

          • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 12/11/2023 - 14:35

            @lovedemfinds: Hi. Apart from what’s covered in the terms, it may have to do with NordVPN’s conversion rates. I can see most transactions are reporting to us at purchase price of AUD 123.11 (after whatecer conversion tool they use) and cashback is based on that. Sorry I can’t elaborate more as I’m just not sure :)

            • oohaah on 12/11/2023 - 15:40

  • Syco on 12/11/2023 - 10:02

    Does cash back apply if you previously subscribed with NordVpn with the same email but did not use cash back? Or it has to be completely new email subscription?

    • DeeCee on 12/11/2023 - 10:05
      +5

      My assumed answer would be it is irrelevant if you claimed CB before, a new customer is for Nord, not CR.. Hence why you can claim another CB with a new email. I'd use another email address if I was you, just to be sure.

  • dangerdanger on 12/11/2023 - 10:08

  • cbrbargainer on 12/11/2023 - 10:15

    Question re below:

    Cashback ineligible on any upsold products like NordPass & NordLocker

    Does that mean you must sign up to the Standard Plan, and not Plus or Complete as they each include the Password Manager and Data Breach Scanner (for Plus) and other products (Storage, file encryption, for Complete)?

    • DeeCee on 12/11/2023 - 10:20

      As TA wrote - best option (IMHO) is to simply choose one of the Standard plans and not Plus or Complete.

    • will05 on 12/11/2023 - 11:20

      nord pass is free under the standard plan unless you added premium. you can try 30-day money back guarantee to cancel pass.

      • kev98 on 12/11/2023 - 11:22

        I paid:
        NordVPN 2 year subscription $125AUD~
        NordPass Premium 2 year subscription $40AUD~

        I assume only the $125AUD component will be claimable for cashrewards. Still not too bad $50 for 2 years if that is the case.

        • will05 on 12/11/2023 - 11:30

          standard Nord pass is free with the suscription so I don't see a point for premium. you can try reach out their CS asking to cancel paid nordpass under 30 days trial.

          • kev98 on 12/11/2023 - 11:53

            @will05: I must have ordered Plus plan, which upon invoice is broken up as above. I will send Nord an email to have NordPass refunded. Hopefully this doesn't affect cash-back.

    As far as I understand, the standard,plus and complete plans should be eligible as you're not adding anything extra (upsold extras) to these standalone plans (yet) only on the next page there are add ons you can choose (e.g dedicated IP)

    @tightarse Able to clarify?

        Incorrect (please see my tips comment in this post). All plans are eligible for 98% cashback. However any upsold products within those plans are not eligible, so ensure you remove them prior to purchase unless you need them. Thanks.

        Some say they aren't as great when it comes to privacy as those mentioned above and whilst they say they don't keep logs, perhaps they do.

        Nord are great though if all you are doing is looking to torrent or bypass geo location for things like Turkey Spotify etc.

        Unfortunately, Rubbish VPN plans don’t have cashback, and they rarely, if ever, offer discounts. I guess it’s a bit like Apple — they have a dependable product, and they just don’t budge on their fair pricing model. However, whichever of the two Rubbish VPN plans you choose — PremiumTrash or UltimateGarbage — you just can’t go wrong. Highly recommended

  • sachz on 12/11/2023 - 13:16

    ok, technical issues once grabbing nordvpn due to the 98% cashbask offer to try it out.

    put nordvpn on my asus router (merlin) so that all traffic gets routed to their vpn.

    my ABB core speed dropped from 600mbps to 100mbps. first red flag.

    my samsung TV (on my LAN) is now having issues with streaming apps. glance online suggests nordvpn is blocking it.

    i want a catchall of all traffic to go thru nordvpn on my router with openvpn (client) on my asus router, but it seems this isnt going to be easy.

    its counter productive to install nord vpn on all 40 devices at home, esp. devices that cant have the app installed on it.

    thoughts?

    Signed up to a new account (via CB app on iOS, connected via 5G) and the payment failed on first transaction, tried again and went through.

    • AdrianR on 12/11/2023 - 15:00

      https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/
      Proton, IVPN, or Mullvad are the recommended ones

      • bohn on 12/11/2023 - 17:40

        I like privacyguides.org as well, and reckon that Mullvad is prob one of the best (not used the other two).
        These days I mainly use the VPN for torrenting on a virtual machine, and $6 for 2 years on Nord is probably going to be okay instead of paying 120 euros (AU$201) on Mullvad.

        Up until a couple of months ago Mullvad also allowed port forwarding, but that is gone now.

  • mt2000 on 12/11/2023 - 15:19

            I just check to get any thing near about $126au is the one year PLUS PLAN and not the standard plan

      Do you use a new email? How do they identify you as new customer?

      • Mr Bargain on 12/11/2023 - 20:17

        Yes, just use a new email address when purchasing the plan.

    I am confused on how you guys get to pay $126au for 2 years on the STANDARD PLAN?
    Mine comes to $102.33usd works out to be about $160au without tax.

      the plan that is selected by default is not the standard plan, you need to click across to the right I think.
      My two year standard plan was $126.50

        Yes I did selected the one on the right. it show $102.33usd

          Try using a different browser or using your phone instead of a computer. I tried accessing NordVPN store through CR on both my mobile and computer and it gave me a different pricing for the same plan. To get US$80.73 for 2 years, the monthly cost should be US $2.99/mo

            @Mr Bargain: I used paypal and was charged $83.96 USD = $126.50 AUD. It was actually USD showing up in my bank app…

        • pinsanity on 12/11/2023 - 19:16

          Looks like Nord have jacked up the pricing since the deal was posted from 2.99/month to 3.79/month for the standard 2 year plan as part of their "Black Friday deal".

          Even with no addons and selecting a country with no GST/VAT will not take the price below 102.33USD or 160AUD.

            @pinsanity: I got charged $160, but going back and trying incognito shows me the $126 now
