Looks like there's a 1 day upsize for NordVPN. In challenges, there might be a $5 bonus cashback for shopping at NordVPN specifically - if you want to buy and have the offer, you can stack both.

Tips (adapted in part from other posts, e.g. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/904371):

  • Assume the reference to "Standard" plan in deal terms is to the "Basic" plan.
  • Per trixieb in liked post, please choose a country with no GST e.g. Christmas Island.

You won't get Cashback on:

  • Purchase of Nordpass and Nordlock plans / programmes / subscriptions / Dedicated IP

NordVPN terms and conditions (from Shopback store page)

  • Cashback is only valid for New NordVPN Subscriptions & Standard Plan only
  • Those who have used NordVPN under a free trial are considered existing NordVPN customers.
  • Due to currency fluctuations, discrepancies may apply to the Cashback amount you receive. Please note that the purchase amount ShopBack receives is not what your bank charges you, but what NordVPN reports back to us in AUD.

  • Standard plan is Basic? And the cashback applies for a 24 month plan?

  • +3

    Tracked $115.48 plus $5 bonus after 15 mins, paid $122.16

    • For 2 years + 3 months? Can you cancel afterwards so you don’t forget to cancel later?

      • I usually cancel the renew after cashback confirmed.

      • I've signed up twice and cancelled right away, both on nord and paypal's end. No problems with getting approved.

      • How do you get the extra 3 months?

    • Did you make the purchase on desktop or mobile?

    • Purchase tracked. But I am only seeing $115.48. Where do i get to see the $5 bonus amount?

      • Did you activate it beforehand in the Earn More tab?

        Mine also tracked at $115.48 plus $5

        • Aah prior activation, then surely missed it.

  • +1

    Dumb question, but using a VPN can you choose the country you want to 'appear' from? or do you just have to go with whatever country NordVPN decides?

    • +3

      Yes, you have the ability to choose

  • +8

    Mine didn't track correctly from this deal then they waited until outside of the "trial" period until they told me that so I was still charged. Became a big headache and not worth rolling the dice on IMO

    • +2

      Typical piss poor performance from SB

    • +3

      Precisely why I tend to avoid Shopback 'deals'.. Sometimes they don't track it or take months to actually return the money, ends up being a headache

    • +1

      i just had a ebay deal not track with the upsized cashback so instead of 10% it tracked as 0.8%. Even worse, I could have used a ebay 6% code but didnt because i wanted to use the shopback upsized cashback instead….

    • Didn't you get an email with a tracked amount? And the tracked amount displayed in your Shopback account?

  • +11

    Don’t forget if your cashback doesn’t track, you can cancel your plan within 30 days and get a refund:

  • $115.48 tracked, $122.16 paid via ING. Took 30 minutes. Just waiting for the $5 bonus to come through.

    • Final price comes down to $134.38 with GST. This correct ?

      • +2

        I did this as per OP:

        please choose a country with no GST e.g. Christmas Island

    • Net loss?

    • $5 challenge tracked now. So total $120.48 cashback for $122.16 spend.

  • +1

    good timing my last 100% free is about to end! ordered. tracked in 30 min

  • +1

    Hate their AppleTV app. It keeps logging out every few days it’s so annoying. Just waiting for a good PIA deal.

  • what about those browsers with free VPN how do they compare

    • +2

      not even close. if its free they are probably spying on your traffic - the speeds would be terrible. NordVPN is a quality product. though i guess if you only need it for web browsing on the occasion it maybe worthwhile using a free one..

  • The $5 need to tap on JOIN at the app. Can I find that join on web anywhere?

  • Which tax country did you guys choose? Australia has GST 10% A$12.22

    • +1

      Christmas Island accoriding to previous post, am just about to try it

  • How to change the currency to usd?

  • Paid $122.16 at 9:24am
    Tracked $115.48 + $5 bonus at 9:49am

  • Tracked in about 30 minutes. How long does it take for Nord to confirm the cashback?

  • Paid 122.16
    Tracked 115.48

    Not sure about the 5 dollars

  • It says New customers only… does this mean I need to setup a new account with Nord ?

    • +1

      yeah im on my 4th different email :-)

      • but how do you pay, if the payment is always the same they surely could know you're the same person using different emails?

  • Got the $5 bonus and 10c challenge bonus both for nordvpn

  • +2

    Please be aware of this, if your first transaction get cancelled or rejected, then you won't get the cashback. Got this response from Nord after I asked for Purchase ID or Transaction Id.

    As they didn't provided the transaction Id, I couldn't file for cashback claim on cashrewards.com.au

    Had to apply for refund.

    "Thank you for your letter.

    Please note that cashback is issued for first-time customers, meaning if you had a previous purchase under your NordVPN account, even if it was a failed payment, that will automatically make you ineligible to claim cashback for a more recent purchase.

    Let us know if you have any further questions."

    • That's a good point to keep in mind, should be added to posts imo.

  • heads up i got stun from the last shopback 100% cashback promo for NordVPN. Very vague on the conditions so if you've made a mistake and signed up to a subscription tier that's not covered, it will likely get rejected after 6-7 months. I have to chase shopback multiple occasions only to be told cashback is rejected with some vague reason.

  • First time using shopback. How long does it take for pending earnings to become available? Mine just got tracked $115.48 after 10-15 mins.

  • $115.48 tracked, $122 paid. Took about an hour to come through with the $5 bonus.
    Says it will be paid in September… So hopefully it isn't rejected like every other one of my Shopback tracked items.

  • 20 minutes to track

    Paid $122.16
    Cashback: $120.48

    Set for another 2 years, thanks OP :)

  • Can anyone confirm success using a 'new' gmail address( i.e. variation adding a . or +1) will fool Nord to being new customer?

    • I've seen people say it works in previous deals.

      (Personally I'm taking zero chances with $120 on the line.)

      • I guess can cancel if it doesn't track….would be handy as my 2 year contract is up soon.

    • Of course you can, when you login nordvpn with a account adding “.”, it shows as a new account without your old account history.

  • Good to know. I decided to use my AOL emailer. It tracked within 10 mins so hopefully all good.

  • Does this work on the complete plan 24 months coming to 194

    • Naah, it only works with the basic/standard plan

  • I only had $115.48 tracked. Shouldn’t it be $122.16 if it was 100% cash back? Also missed out on the $5 bonus even though I joined. SB said comp was too strong.

  • The deal is back up.

    I made the purchase through the ShopBack app, but it hasn’t been tracked yet—or at least, I can’t see it in the app or on the website.

    How long does it usually take for the transaction to appear?

  • Has anyone who's claimed this deal previously ever actually got their cash back? I saw they had a ~96% cashback back in March, bought it and it never tracked. Waited the 3 days, filed missing cashback, replied with details and then told:

    "Kindly be advised, the Cashback from our store partner (NordVPN) needs to be validated by the store and network before update it in your account. In this case, please be informed that you will received an update within the same Cashback validation period which is 75 days as per stated in NordVPN T&C page: https://www.shopback.com.au/nordvpn"

    Been over 3 months now and never got anything…

    • Anyone had experience using a visa gift card to check out and eligibility for cashback?
      No problems with this I'm assuming?

      Struggling to turn my visa gift cards into cash or spend them lol.

      • I think they mentioned gift cards in the exclusion list, so it might be better not to use a Visa card.

        • I thought that might be talking about Nord gift cards? But maybe you're right.

    • Dammit bought ExpressVPN yesterday

      • I think you made the right choice ,I did also Nord has been very problematic in last few months for me I've been using Nord ok for years .

        • What issues are you having with Nord? I haven't noticed anything but I don't use it much

          • +2

            @367: I use it everyday it disconnects it's self ,intermitently & not unblocking certain countries /regions etc slow speeds .I think it's over sold & the servers are maxed .

            • @spock: that's weird. I've been using every day for like 6 months and never have any issue.

          • @367: I had been a previous customer of Nord. In some overseas countries like UAE, WhatsApp & Messenger (all VOIP) calls are blocked….and NordVPN struggled to unblock it in a consistent manner….whilst some servers worked, it seems like the Telcos were quick to identify and cut-off the call again

            I've never had any issues with PureVPN, but thought to give Express a try now

    • +1

      Is this valid for 2 year plan too?

      • Yes, they haven't mentioned any conditions for the plan length.

        • Cheers mate

    • +6

      Not sure I trust Shopback with this one - same deal comes at at more reliable cashback sites regularly

      • You have a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't track, then you can cancel the subscription.

        • it could track, but then not get paid? there's always some risk i suppose.

      • waht did you find most reliable ?

        i guess cashrewards is thwt for me

        • +4

          Personally I would go with Top Cashback because TA is very helpful to us OzBargainers

    • I had nord 12+ months ago. Am I considered new if I sign up again?

      • +2

        You'll need a different email address

    • How is CyberGhost VPN compared to Nord? Also has 100% cashback with Top Cashback.

      • Average mullvard is the greatest VPN ever comment

    • Tracked within 15min $115.50 on $134 2yr basic purchase

      • +2

        If you choose Christmas island as a tax country then you will get 100% cashback

        • -1

          Thanks mate , I wasn’t complaining I read the rules . I got about what I should have living in Sydney

    • cash rewards also giving 100%cashback.

      • i just got my payout for nordvpn with cashrewards like the other day.

        Don't know if i should bother doing another since i already have that active acc.

        • why bother? better off saving the opportunity for when you need it

          • @ltwo: yeah i won't

            only vpn deal i would do is those 115% or above 100% cashback ones i guess

    • +1

      Clicked through shopback, paid and then it asks to install and when i click "download for android", i get the message 'only purchases on NordVPN website qualify for cashback'
      What am i doing wrong?

      • Mine errored after I paid when I clicked the iOS app link , went and downloaded app manually through App Store, still tracked okay

        • Thanks, I'm glad it wasn't just me. Ill do that.

    • can we pay by Afterpay and get 100% Cashback?

    • Any thing that can work in China? Traveling there soon. Looking for a solution.

      • astrill, shadowsocks, shadowrocket, letsvpn etc. nord /expressvpn/ will not work

    • +1

      Can I use the same shopback account as last time but create a new Nord account?

    • newbie question. is it 100% cashback just for the basic plan or all plans? thanks

      • +1

        thinking of doing 2 years so want to make sure I get the 100% :)

        • People reported getting 2 year plan full cash back in the above comments, so should be good?

    • Does email+1 email address method works?
