100% Cashback For New NordVPN Customers Only.
Cashback ineligible on upsold products (see terms). Offer ends on 20/04/2025 11:59pm AEST.

My tips:

  • Please choose a country with no GST e.g. Christmas Island. If you can, pay with a card without international transaction fees. PayPal may charge a currency conversion fee. These fees are not eligible for cashback.
  • If your order doesn't track or you're not happy with NordVPN, please cancel and request for a refund from NordVPN within 30 days under their 30-day money-back guarantee.
  • 100% cashback only applies to the Basic plan which is for the VPN service only. You will not receive 100% cashback when you buy Plus or Complete as NordPass & NordLocker are ineligible for cashback.

Special terms

Eligible for new NordVPN customers only.

Cashback is calculated and paid on the advertised cost of the plan only. It will exclude upsold products, GST, other taxes, credit card or PayPal surcharges.

The transaction sale value reports to us in USD and is subject to currency conversion. Final cashback value is based on the exchange rate at the time of approval.

Upsold products like NordPass & NordLocker are ineligible for cashback. Cashback is only eligible on the VPN service within plans.

Cashback is ineligible on the following:

  • Upsold products such as NordPass & NordLocker.
  • Purchases using coupon codes not listed on Cashrewards.
  • Purchases made with Crypto currency.
  • Purchases via the merchant's mobile app.
  • Purchase that are cancelled, returned, exchanged or refunded.
  • GST, other taxes and delivery fees.

    Be aware that when it says "cashback on plan only", it means the basic VPN only plan. If you opt for the higher plans, even though it is just the "plan" (no extra boxes ticked for additional services or options), Cashrewards considers the extra cost to be "upsold products", which is a scam.

    When they say cashback on a plan, and you buy a plan (ie. don't opt in for anything extra over and above the plan), the cashback should be on the full amount, but it isn't. I got caught a few months ago.

    • M00Cow on 15/04/2025 - 09:22

      just sums up CR these days, dodgy.

        @Andy01 Sorry to hear. T&Cs would be from NordVPN and seem to be the same for the other cashback sites. Cashrewards has stated "Upsold products like NordPass & NordLocker are ineligible for cashback. Cashback is only eligible on the VPN service within plans."

        100% cashback is for the Basic plan (VPN service only) and excludes Plus or Complete as NordPass & NordLocker are ineligible for cashback.

    • AeymothSky on 15/04/2025 - 12:49

      Yeah and so did you cancel and get a full refund and redo with basic?

  • parasense on 15/04/2025 - 09:30

    Thanks OP! Charged $118.53, CR tracked for $119.09

    • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 10:52

      Hi, have you chosen the Basic 2yrs+3m ? Just want to make sure I have selected the correct one. By changing country to Chirstmas Island, it worked out to be AU$118.53, correct?

      • trixieb on 15/04/2025 - 10:58
        +3

        That's the correct basic plan for cashback.

        • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 11:00

          Thx. And will they charge in US$ if choose Christmas Island to avoid GST? I have a zero-cost international fee CC. Just use the card to pay for the cost?It doesn't show in US$ tho. only shown AU$118.53 same as above

          • AeymothSky on 15/04/2025 - 12:46
            +1

            @kevindo: Yes.

            It'll cbarge in Aud and show on your cashrewards email when you get the confirmation of ~$75 USD or $74.95 USD

            • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 12:50

              @AeymothSky: Thanks mate. And it'll get transferred back in AU$ as cashback? It is so complicated. Lol

              • AeymothSky on 15/04/2025 - 12:53
                +1

                @kevindo: Yea of course.

                It'll just show an estimated amount like op from this comment thread said CR tracked for $119.09. (that's the estimated A$* amount)

                When the cashback is actually confirmed though CR notes it can be higher or lower depending on the transaction rate at the time it is confirmed (as in when you can withdraw).

                But yeah it'll just show on the app in A$ on your cashrewards balance which you can then withdraw.

                Not too complicated it just seems that way since they make you pay in AUD, I'm pretty sure but still best to use fee free card incase it is actually USD.

                Then they pay the cashback to cashrewards in USD and then cashrewards converts that into your cashback balance which you can withdraw once confirmed.

  • yoshi678 on 15/04/2025 - 11:39

    How long will be tracked?

  • Barganious on 15/04/2025 - 11:44

    Anyone know if "new" is defined by CC or email?

    • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 12:09

      just use distinctive ones for both. I guess mostly likely would be the email you are using. make sure you provide different account holder's name or user's address if you provided it before, although I am not sure they would record your physical/ID info as this is only a virtual service.

    • trixieb on 15/04/2025 - 12:21

      New email for NordVPN to be considered a new customer.

      Have you bought NordVPN from Cashrewards before? If you have, Cashrewards seemed to have randomly rejected cashback when there is a history of NordVPN purchase in your account. Please see the comments in this post here. However this is not the case with a different cashback site TopCashback.

      TopCashback doesn't have 100% cashback on NordVPN currently but offer 100% cashback on Express VPN & Private Internet Access and CyberGhost.

    Does it work in China?

    • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 12:15

      The "tax country " drop down-menu in the payment page includes China. I guess they'll be able to provide VPN service no problem to users in China as this is virtual service. BUT it all depends whether the "net police" in China may be able to detect you and disable your access to their service as per you and I both know China is now allowing civilians to use VPN.

    • me1stt on 15/04/2025 - 12:15

      Didn’t work for me last year.

      Astrill and letsvpn might still work, and also Mullvad mentioned on reddit.

      Or, just get a travel sim.

    • BakaHaze on 15/04/2025 - 19:28

      No.

      However Mullavad confirmed still working as of last year.

    Does it work in China?

  • trixieb on 15/04/2025 - 12:55

    @Sunlight212 @JayCeeJay @Darude Sandstorm ExpressVPN seems to be the preferred VPN for China. TopCashback has 100% Cashback on ExpressVPN.

    Two articles below recently mentioned NordVPN working in China now but several Ozbargainers have commented in the past that NordVPN didn't work. Hence ExpressVPN would probably be the better choice.

    References:

    • me1stt on 15/04/2025 - 12:59

      Expressvpn didn’t work either.

      • trixieb on 15/04/2025 - 13:04

        What about Shadowsocks?

        • me1stt on 15/04/2025 - 13:12

          It should still work but I’ve never used it myself. Travel sim might be the best option.

  • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 13:06

    I just found NORD doesn't provide China (mainland) IP, might not be ideal for me. Anyone knows which VPN service provides CHina (mainland) IP pls? Cheers.

    • trixieb on 15/04/2025 - 13:08

      Please see these comments.

      • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 13:14

        Thank you @trixieb. But I meant NORDVPN doesn't provide China mainland masking IP. In the list of VPN server selection, I cannot find China mainland ones, but only Hong Kong IP. I need to use China mainland IP address to access some China website.

        • dsesaz on 15/04/2025 - 15:54
          +1

          ExpressVPN and PureVPN do offer China IPs, but they are quite limited— around 2 static IPs available for extended periods. These IPs are often flagged as non-China by Chinese websites, which rely on their own independent Geo IP databases. Additionally, the connections tend to be extremely laggy.

          Fun fact: while VPNs are the most well-known method for bypassing the GFW, they are the last option on my list. There are services specifically designed for Chinese residents to bypass the GFW. These use custom protocols, smart routing strategies, and auto-renewing IP pools to minimise latency and maximise stability and usability. And are very cheap (something like 100GB/Month for AU$2, or even free).

          Similarly, some specially designed VPN services perform much better than general-purpose VPNs for your need.

          • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 16:06

            @dsesaz: Thx for your @dsesaz sharing and insight. Yes. I did some research and found that Pure VPN offers China maninland IP. but your experience of using it is highly regarded. Can you provide a bit more details on which VPNs can bypass the GFW and of good value to be used? Cheers.

            • dsesaz on 15/04/2025 - 18:43
              +2

              @kevindo: Sorry it's Private Internet Access rather than ExpressVPN which offers China IPs.

              For bypassing GFW, if you're travelling to China for few days or weeks, eSIM would be the best choice. If you plan to live there, then that would be a topic on "CnBargain" lol (and trust me, a loooong story)

              If you just wanna bypass geo-blocks set by Chinese websites, then: ufunr/transocks.

              • kevindo on 16/04/2025 - 10:58

                @dsesaz: @dsesaz Thx heaps mate. You are legend. I won't need eSIM as I don't wanna go back China to access foreign website. On the contrary, I want to bypass Geo-blocks set by Chinese website, meaning I will need to disguise with Chinese IPs. I had a look of Transocks, that looks like what I need. I will explore more. Cheers.

  • mkowarkski on 15/04/2025 - 14:52

    Warning:

    Cashrewards rejected to pay me the cashback (~$155), although it was tracked.
    They said: "Nord VPN says your purchase went through another channel! Nord VPN doesn't pay us, so we cannot pay you!"

    This is a trap from either Nord VPN or Cashrewards, so that we spend there and they don't pay us back, even though it is tracked!

    Be careful!

    • Ulysses31 on 15/04/2025 - 18:53

  • FrugalDealSeeker on 15/04/2025 - 15:23

    I don't trust CR. Several of my CBs weren't tracked till I manually chased them up and $200+ are pending from June-24 and their excuse is it's not released from merchant side.

    • trixieb on 15/04/2025 - 15:56
      +1

      Sorry to hear. I had a pending cashback with Cashrewards from July 2024 and it was finally paid 7 months later in Feb this year. I had emailed a few times before it was paid. Most of the email responses appeared to be generic. My amount is a lot less than yours and probably why it was paid eventually but I had to chase it up. Hope you get the cashback soon. You would have to remind them as there are different staff names on the email replies.

    • kevindo on 15/04/2025 - 16:04
      +1

      Thx for your remind. Sorry to hear it has caused your trouble. I'd better get a refund then.

    • AeymothSky on 15/04/2025 - 18:25
      +2

      That's unfortunate but maybe there's an issue with the device or network you're using

      Fortunately for me I've got close to over $600 successful tracking and if I recall at most one or two failed tracking that I would've chased up.

      I've got plenty of success with shopback as well.

      Sorry to hear about your issue's though.

      One way to make sure everything is tracked even if manually is record the process or have multiple screenshots as proof you used CR, SB etc.

      • FrugalDealSeeker on 17/04/2025 - 21:57

        Well the issue isn’t just that it’s not tracked. It stays in pending for months. SB usually tracks and approves it just fine on their advertised date so I don’t think the issue is with the merchant per se.

  • Clementt on 15/04/2025 - 19:21

    Should I include dedicated IP or that won't get cashback?

    • AeymothSky on 15/04/2025 - 19:31

      Do not include it.

    • trixieb on 15/04/2025 - 19:34

      100% cashback only applies to the Basic plan which is for the VPN service only and no add-ons. Choose a tax free country such as Christmas Island and the amount would be around A$118.53 (for 2 yrs & 3 mths).

      • Clementt on 15/04/2025 - 22:02

        Thanks all! 🙂

  • santomaharaj on 15/04/2025 - 22:23

    Anyone who has previously availed the cashback via CashRewards, purchased again and has it been tracked successfully? I see comments above saying it was not approved(random issue based on comments from other deal). Hence curious if someone purchased from this deal and tracked successfully?

    • trixieb on 16/04/2025 - 00:39

      From the comments in the other deal, it seems that those purchases did track successfully (as pending) but cashback was declined later when Cashrewards checked the history in the account. Using a new email for NordVPN didn't work.

      More info in this link to a previous Cashrewards post that mentions successful tracking but rejected later.

      If there is no tracking (whether new or repeat customer), it is usually recommended that you cancel and request for a refund from NordVPN under their 30-day money-back guarantee.

    • PopCounty on 16/04/2025 - 01:26

      Mine didn’t track but history was available. Did send a claim after 7 days (which is a condition) and now waiting.
      Funny enough, CR email says the team would respond within 25 working days. So theoretically, any answer from them 24th days (from lodging claim) onwards would void seller’s money back guarantee (cancel within 30 days).
      Not worth the hassle IMO.

      • trixieb on 16/04/2025 - 01:42

        It is best to cancel for a refund. More info here in a previous Cashrewards post.

          Thank you. I have raised a general enquiry using their help menu, asking this question yesterday. They respond back within 5 days. So should be ok to wait as this deal also ends in the same time. I will update this chat based on what i hear.
          I use the nordlynx protocal(wireguard equivalent) for some automated connections, if not would have prefered expressvpn.

    • becool on 16/04/2025 - 15:05

      Yes, I bought one around this time last year and had received the cashback. Purchased another one lastnight with pending tracking within a few hours, no issue.

    Some updates from me. As mentioned above i am back up with a latest update. My query with Cash Rewards on being able to use this offer, even though i had previously availed the cashback(with a different/new NordVPM account) was confirmed as possible and valid transaction. Based on this i went ahead with the purchase and got the click tracking confirmation immediately, and the cashback confirmation email from cashrewards in less than an hour. Happy with this for now and wait time for the 95 days starts now. Also for those who have purchased, a reminder to turn off 'auto renewal' which automatically is turned on immediately after purchase

    • AeymothSky on 17/04/2025 - 22:06

      Sweet, thanks for the update!

  • Clementt on 21/04/2025 - 12:14
