NordVPN: 98% Cashback for New NordVPN Customers @ TopCashback AU

860

Great cashback on a popular VPN.

My Tips: (Credit to @TA)

  • The Plus plan for 2 years could be a slightly better deal with the A$20 Amazon gift card offer at A$126.96 (estimate) with a tax-free country. Screenshot here.
    Activate NordVPN Plus plan and claim the $20 Amazon gift card within 31 days of purchase.

  • The Basic plan for 2 years is A$110.16 (estimate) with a tax-free country.

  • 98% Cashback is for the VPN service only (basic plan, no add-ons). NordPass password manager, NordLocker cloud storage etc are ineligible for cashback.
  • Choose a country with NO GST/tax e.g. Christmas Island. Screenshot here. GST is ineligible for cashback.
  • Use a new email address for NordVPN if you have purchased before. The same payment card and same TopCashback account are fine.
  • Pay with a card without international transaction fees. If using PayPal AU, there could be a currency conversion fee from PayPal AU. These fees are not eligible for cashback.
  • The tracked amount in your TopCashback account will be slightly lower than what you are charged. This is probably due to the currency conversion fees/taxes as NordVPN reports to TopCashback in USD which is converted to AUD. 98% cashback minus the fees/taxes.
  • If your order doesn't track, please cancel and request for a refund from NordVPN within 30 days under their 30-day money-back guarantee. Please do not submit a missing cashback claim.
  • If you cancel for non-tracking, you can buy again. Use a new email address for NordVPN with the same TopCashback account. Same payment card is fine.
  • You can cancel auto-renewal after you have received cashback.

For better tracking, use the TopCashback app, click the "Get 98% Cashback" pink button to the NordVPN website (not app), use mobile data (not Wi-Fi) and Chrome browser.

TA's Tracking Tips:

  • Prior to using TopCashback, disable/remove all 3rd party plugins (AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole, Honey, etc), VPNs, avoid browsers such as Brave and close any additional browser tabs.
  • For iOS device: Apart from ensuring you’re not using an AdBlock app for Safari, the most important one is to ensure you have ‘Prevent Cross-Site Tracking’ turned off (see here).

What will stop me getting my cashback

  • Cashback is eligible in full on NordVPN's Basic Plan only. If you choose the Plus Plan or Complete Plan, only the VPN component of the plan will be eligible for cashback. Any additional products that come bundled with those plans will be ineligible for cashback (eg. NordPass, NordLocker, and others).
  • Cashback is eligible for new NordVPN customers only. Renewals are ineligible.
  • A new click/tap from TopCashback's 'Get cashback' button must be generated with each new order from NordVPN. Failure to do so will cause all cashback on subsequent orders to be declined by NordVPN.
  • Cashback is ineligible on payments made with Crypto currency.
  • NordVPN is excluded from all signup and referral bonus thresholds.Reference the Tell-a-Friend terms for more information.
  • Cashback is ineligible on use of any coupon codes not advertised on our platform.
  • Cashback is ineligible on use of gift cards, vouchers, or store credit for partial or full payment. Cashback is also ineligible on purchase of gift cards.
  • Cashback is ineligible on purchases made via the retailer's mobile app.

What else is essential

  • NordVPN orders report to your account excluding GST and other taxes, and may show a further difference in purchase amount due to international conversion rates. This is beyond our control.
  • Engaging with plugins such as Honey, AdBlock, uBlock, Pi-hole, VPNs, DNS AdGuard, and browsers such as Brave may prevent your order from tracking.
  • Accept and allow all 3rd party cookies on the retailer's page if requested.
  • Return to TopCashback to click the 'Get Cashback' button for each new transaction.
  • Transactions must be completed solely & wholly online and must not be assisted or negotiated via phone/chat/email. Failure to do so will cause tracking to fail and/or have cashback declined.

    And pornhub friendly 😅

      I don't know why you would think anyone would care about this fact. I certainly am only looking at a VPN for the first time out of our coincidence!

      • Pornhub ❌️
        NordHub ✅️

    • +1

      My friend needs a VPN for pornhub now. 😂

    • I am starting to record my homemade videos so I can watch them when I am over 18. As they say you start saving up early…

  • My Nord account will expire in 25 days. Is there any way to get cash back after plan expiry on the same email address by next month?

    • +1

      (to my knowledge) you'll need to create a whole new account with a new email - then tidy up the account after cashback complete/withdrawn

    • +3

      If it's a gmail, make a new nord account with some dots scattered around in the email address or add something like "+nordmar26" before the @ symbol. Emails will go to the same email address.

    • +6

      @danaahm You cannot provide the same email address to NordVPN for cashback. NordVPN may reject your cashback as it's against the terms. You would be buying a new NordVPN subscription/account.

      T&Cs:

      Cashback is eligible for new NordVPN customers only. Renewals are ineligible.

      If you have a Gmail address, you don't have to create a new email as you can use the Gmail trick with dot or plus. It will be viewed as a new email for NordVPN but Gmail will send to your original email without the dot or plus. I've used dot with Gmail for VPN subscriptions.

      For example your original email is danaahmaustralia@gmail com

      With the dot trick:

      All emails with the dot will be sent to the original email without the dot. You can move the dot and get a new email with this trick.

      • +1

        Awesome, thanks for sharing the tricks. I remember I saw something similar before, but it wasn't clear enough. This definitely helped thank you.

  • If I have recently deleted my Nord account, can I use the same email?

    • +3

      I don't know and wouldn't risk cashback rejection as it's quite a large amount. Please see my reply here that would be relevant if you have a Gmail address.

    • you can always add in a +1 at the end of your email account and it will register as a unique one. this works for almost everything.

      for example

      thelegend27@gmail.com can be thelegend27+1@gmail.com

      I use this trick for the jb-hifi new customer coupons every time lol

  • +2

    Tracked in an hour. Will cost about $9 for me for 2 years basic.

  • How much does it track for the plus plan? From the notes : If you choose the Plus Plan or Complete Plan, only the VPN component of the plan will be eligible for cashback.

    • +4

      I paid $126.96 via my NAB card for the Plus plan (country set to Christmas Island). TCB tracked the purchase at $105.28, and I have $103.17 cashback pending.

      Without factoring in the $20 Amazon gift card, I paid $23.79 for the Plus plan. Factoring in the gift card, I paid $3.79 for the Plus plan.

      • That's actually better as the basic plan costs $9 after cashback.

  • How does this compare to Surfshark?

    • I compared them about 2 years ago when looking to buy for work purposes. In the end I went with Surfshark as they supported wireguard which offered better speed. It worked great for me.

      I have also used NordVPN in the past. It is also a solid choice.

      You cannot go wrong with either at these prices.

    • Surfshark wireguard has me appearing to be in Singapore (when using their Melbourne server) which is annoying. Nord wireguard location works as expected.

    ExpressVPN is also 95% cashback on Topcashback.

    How long do the payouts usually take? Find TopCashback to be incredibly slow. Got Aliexpress ones that are over 4 months old and still haven't been paid..

    • +1

      65 days for me last time.

  • Worked for me last time, but remember it takes 65 days before you get your money.

  • +1

    Thanks OP! My renewal coming up this month and they wanted $180 for 1 year. Perfect timing :)

  • So I was charged $110.16, but my tracking shows:
    * Purchased: $104.69
    * Cashback: 102.60 (pending)
    ??

    • +1

      That's correct. 98% of $104.69 = $102.60

      Please read my post description as I've explained the reasons:

      My Tips:

      The tracked amount in your TopCashback account will be slightly lower than what you are charged. This is probably due to the currency conversion fees/taxes as NordVPN reports to TopCashback in USD which is converted to AUD. 98% cashback minus the fees/taxes.

      T&Cs:

      NordVPN orders report to your account excluding GST and other taxes, and may show a further difference in purchase amount due to international conversion rates. This is beyond our control.

      If you are unhappy with this very low price, you can cancel for a refund from NordVPN within 30 days.

      • +1

        thanks - should have read more closely!

  • good

  • Can you buy it and active the subscription later,?

    • You can activate the subscription later with the Basic plan for $110.16. After cashback, it could be around $9 as mentioned here.

      The Plus plan with the $20 Amazon gift card for $126.96 has to be activated within 31 days of purchase.

  • How long does it take to track typically?

    • +1

      Tracking took about 10min for me last month.

      • Yeah, just got it as well.

        Thanks

    Windscribe is better

  • Just purchased a basic plan via TCB for a friend and the tracking showed in my pending in around 15 minutes. So I tried to purchase a complete plan for myself (after deleting all browser history) via TCB again but it didn’t show tracking. I waited 5 hours but still nothing pending. Has anyone successfully purchased a complete plan with the transaction showing that it is tracked on TCB?

    Update:
    I tried to purchase it again via a different TCB account + created another NordVPN account and it worked! But this time I used the TCB mobile app and made sure to allow cross-tracking on safari. Make sure to delete NordVPN mobile app before you do it just in case you accidentally purchase it via the app (you have to purchase it through a web browser). I ended up requesting a refund for the first complete plan I purchased.

    For the complete plan I paid $174AUD with $94.27AUD cash back pending. Considering the $40 Amazon gift card, I will be paying roughy $39.73 for two year plan. You will definitely get better value with either Basic or Plus plan but I wanted the extra stuff ◡̈

    Happy shopping!

  • +1

    For me, for the plus plan
    paid $126.96
    tracked as $106.47
    cashback $104.34
    Plus the $20 amazon gift card

    Final cost $2.62 for two years, not bad!
    Thanks op

  • I bought it at the last TCB deal. Excellent for the latest Internet ban eKaren jist brought in

  • Crap mine didn't track. It's been a few hours.
    Now I'm in the awkward position of wanting to try again, but if the new one doesn't track immediately but comes through a few hours later I won't have any idea which one actually went through

    How long does it take to confirm/pay out the cashback?

    • Can you login to NordVPN and find the order number? I'm unable to check at the moment.

      When your order has tracked in your Earnings page, click '+' to see the Order ID. If NordVPN has an order number, then you will know which purchase has tracked

      If your order hasn't tracked after several hours, please cancel for a refund. Do not submit a missing cashback claim. Use a different email to sign up again. Same payment card is fine.

      Estimated payable is up to 16 weeks. Cashback is paid in about 3 months.

      • Oh nice one thanks. I looked at my recent AliExpress pending orders and they have no useful info. But my 3 year old Nord cashback does.

        Gonna try again 😃

        • Someone mentioned NordVPN cashback was paid in 65 days here.

      • +1

        In case anyone else runs into the same issue: Topcashback has an Order ID, but Nord doesn't seem to have it anywhere, even if you download an invoice.
        So I contacted support and they were able to tell me the ID which lined up exactly with tcb

  • Does the email you use to sign up for NordVPN have to match the TopCashback email address?

    • +1

      No. For cashback, use a new email for NordVPN if you have signed up before.

      • +1

        Thanks singed up to the plus and after the Amazon cashback only paying about $3 for 2 years

  • Where do you find the amazon gift card?

  • 'You can cancel auto-renewal after you have received cashback.'
    After the 16 weeks? or after tracking?

    • I cancel after receiving the cashback as per my suggestion. It's up to you.

  • -1

    Can always use the Tor Browser https://www.torproject.org/download/

    It's a little slower but it works.

  • Worked like a charm, thanks OP.

  • TopCashBack website/app are only offering me 50% cashback on NordVPN - yesterday it was showing 98%. Is it just me? I wonder if they're detecting that I viewed this yesterday/recently and are cutting the offer as they know I'm keen - is that a thing?

    • Unrelated to you, NordVPN 98% offer was scheduled to expire yesterday as per the TCB NordVPN page (with timer countdown). I saw the expiry date ("Ends in 24 hours") on the TCB NordVPN page around 12am AEDT on 15th March. I updated this post with the expiry date 15th March 11:59pm AEDT

      TopCashback currently has: Surfshark VPN: 98% Cashback For New Surfshark Customers. Surfshark is from the same parent company as NordVPN. Some people prefer Surfshark to NordVPN. Please read my tips in the post description if you're not familiar with the offer.

      • thanks for coming back to me - I'll go with Surfshark.

  • Hello, i turned off auto renewal for an hour or so today before cashback recieved and then turned it back on again. Will it track or should I cancel it all?

    • +1

      i turned off auto renewal for an hour or so today before cashback recieved

      Comments in previous posts have mentioned that cashback is still paid after auto-renewal is turned off. I wrote in the post to turn off auto-renewal after cashback is paid as a precaution. I prefer to wait till cashback is paid but have turned off auto-renewal straight after the purchase once and still received the cashback.

      should I cancel it all?

      Please do not cancel for a refund if your order has tracked. Cashback is usually paid in about 3 months. Estimated payable is up to 16 weeks.

      Will it track

      Has your order tracked? If it has tracked, you will see the transaction in your "Earnings" page here.

      You would also receive an email from TopCashback that it has tracked. In your TopCashback account, under "Email Preferences", please check you are subscribed to receive the email notification and the toggle is turned on here.
