Can't wait for this "ooooh I have secret" bollocks to disappear up it's own arse.
Who has a secret?
Will TCB beat this deal?
And which plan would be the best value?
Do we know what's considered new customer - CashRewards defined or NordVPN defined? New card required?
Just an email address that hasn't purchaed in the past. Payment etc doesnt matter and can be the same.
Found it on CashRewards site, it's once per CR account.
Really, where does it say this, link please as can't see any "Once per Cashrewards Account" OR do you mean that "One claim per CR account" for this specific deal, which would be correct.
@Borg: Hmm I was sure I read it but now I try find it on the NordVPN CR page, I can't - I guess I must have accidentally looked at the Temu tab I had open thinking it was NordVPN. (Temu page has "New customer offers are limited to 1 reward per Cashrewards account.")
I've had a NordVPN claim via CR ages ago, don't want to risk doing this one and not be eligible as a new customer.
@sssx: You'll be fine as long as your new Nord account is setup using a new email address. I have several accounts for family/friends.
And also what are the upsold products?
Read the CR site. Its noted in Bold, Upsold products like NordPass & NordLocker are ineligible for cashback. Cashback is only eligible on the VPN service within plans.
Nord is nice with tunneling and all but annoying to use. It logs out randomly all the time.
same here
What is the process for getting it GST free?
Pick any GST free country. It will show on chexkout i.e. no added tax. From memory, I think I selected USA and nothing was added.
100% cb is still a net loss IIRC.
Perhaps, but not designed for profit. The last 100% I grabbed (2024), @ $122.86, cost me $4.36 when all said and done. Very cheap for 2years (+ 3 Months) premium subscription. As it's slightly cheaper now @ AU$118.53, will again only cost around $4+/- after CB
Can also claim in tax and save more money
How do you do that? Puzzled how a VPN is deductable? Do you work as a journalist or intelligence or something?
@Mortin: Interesting, didn't realise VPNs and AV software would be considered work expenses. Unfortunately, won't apply to those that have a work provided computer :(
https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/income-deduc…OT: don't understand the neg, was a legit question that i'm sure others had…
@TurnipHead: you're correct in services like NordVPN not being considered work expenses
firstly VPN's by definition aren't privacy products, a very common misconception, if you want true privacy use Tails OS or TOR Browser, every consumer VPN knows your IP address even if you pay by crypto, so trust me bro security, we cannot personally audit their systems, but we can with protocols like TOR/I2P
true to spec VPN's have genuine business use to securely connect remote employees/offices to internal networks, enabling access to private resources like file servers, databases, or intranet apps
maintaining encrypted communication across distributed teams while enforcing access controls and compliance within an organisation
sensitive company resources shouldn't be exposed to the public internet available to be hacked
Cashback this time around was only 87% ($103.86) on a $118.53 cost so underpaid by $14.67 which is a lot. Was expecting it to perhaps $4. How do they work out $14.67 I wonder? Must be their US$ to AU$ conversion rate. There is no method to pay in US$ and defaults to AU$ regardless of selecting Country as USA to save paying 10% GST. Regardless still a decent price for 2years (+3 Months).
You bought the “Plus” option, Cashback only applies to the base VPN subscription and not the “Anti-malware & browsing protection, Ad & tracker blocker, and Password manager & breach scanner” parts that Plus includes.
I paid $94.23 for 2 years (plus 3 months) for the Basic option.
Cashback tracked at $93.51.
So $0.72 total.
I attribute the difference to differing exchange rates. Took less than an hour to track.
Huh, where does it say that I.e. that only avail with basic? It's not like I bought Upsold products such as NordPass & NordLocker which are noted as excluded.
FX rate, I only realised today, that I used PayPal, and didn't tick the box to use selected card (Wise) the manage FX. In turn Paypal would have taken a chunk but $14+ seems excessive but my stuff up.
This or PureVPN? In terms of safety, etc.? Currently use Surfshark but sadly no good deals for it and my sub is ending on the 2nd of September.
Nord is a better product. You can search "Nord vs PureVPN" online reviews. You will find Nord wins out on all as a better product.
Regardless, why not grab both as there is a 130% Cashback on PureVPN. That way you can play with both.Seeing the number of upvotes on that 130%CB got me scratching my head since a lot of reviews online said otherwise. Perhaps, it's just the free money. Thanks for the help!
The Upvotes are for the deal and not the product.
Most upvotes are for the profit from the cashback. I have used them both, and Nord is way better. Personally, PureVPN often fails when it comes to geo-blocked content.
can you use referral and still getting cashback?
No. and shows this on the CR Conditions (which ideally, everyone should do prior to asking here), it says: "You cannot click in another rewards website."
I did check the condition, but I would assume that another rewards website is like topcashback, shopback etc.
the referral I want to use is https://refer-nordvpn.com/abcdefgh which is nordvpn website itself.
I wouldn't risk any referral site even their own as it may take priority over Cashrewards Cookie for cashback. In turn you end up with just the referral reward and not Cashrewards.
Usually cashback is just a referral to the cash back company, and they share part of the referral fee with you. I don't recall any sites letting you use a referral code AND cashback.
How long after purchasing did your Cashrewards track?
It didn't track lol
Going to have to chase this one up.I bought yesterday and it tracked today
What is that "Get 70% off + an Amazon AU Gift Card" that's on CB site? I can't see anywhere anything about the amazon GC
if you search for past deal there are details about it, I think its this one?
NORDVPN Plus - Amazon Gift Card of A$20 after 31 Days.
NORDVPN Complete - Amazon Gift Card of A$40 after 31 Days.there are not worth it if there are cashback deal.
Thanks! Tracked within an hour. Paid 94.23AUD Tracked 93.27AUD. Good VPN for 0.96AUD for 2yrs + 3months.
How did you get $94.23? Mine's showing $115.83 - this is the basic plan + no GST.
Ah when I visit from my phone now I see the price you have mentioned. Earlier I registered from my computer. Not sure if that is the case
Weirdly, I am using my computer and it's still the same price!
Can i cancel the subscription now or do i have to wait until the cashback is approved?
