Please Read Trixieb's Tips: (Credit to TA)

  • Choose Max 2-year plan (+ 3 months) US$95.85 for the best value. Do NOT grab the 5-year plan offer that may pop up. 5-year plan and add-ons are ineligible for cashback. Screenshot of Plan
  • Use a new email for PureVPN if purchased before. You can use the Gmail trick with dot or plus. Same payment card is fine.
  • Pay with a card without international transaction fees if possible.
  • The tracked amount in your TopCashback account will be slightly less than what you are charged. This is probably due to the currency conversion fees/taxes as PureVPN reports in USD which is converted to AUD. 120% cashback minus the fees/taxes.
  • If you use PayPal AU, PayPal AU may charge a currency conversion fee. It seems not possible to change the currency to USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD. These fees are ineligible for cashback.
  • If you use Revolut, there is a weekend fee (1%) for standard customers.
  • Tracking is usually within an hour but allow several hours as delays do occur.
  • If your order hasn't tracked, please "File a refund" from PureVPN within 31 days under their 31-day money-back guarantee. Please do not submit a missing cashback claim as cashback could be rejected.
  • If you cancel/refund for non-tracking, you can buy again. Use a new email address for PureVPN with the same TopCashback account. Same payment card is fine.
  • You can cancel auto-renewal/subscription after you have received cashback.

What will stop me getting my cashback

  • If your PureVPN order fails to track to your TopCashback account within 48 hours, please request a refund directly from PureVPN and purchase again with a new click. Unfortunately PureVPN cannot guarantee the success of missing cashback claims.
  • Cashback is eligible only on 1-year, 2-year, and monthly plans (Standard, Plus, Max). Cashback is ineligible on 5-year plan, Teams multi-user plans, and/or add-ons.
  • Only one (1) PureVPN purchase is permitted per member every 21 days (3 weeks). Check your TopCashback account to confirm last purchase date.
  • PureVPN is excluded from all signup and referral bonus thresholds. Reference the Tell-a-Friend terms for more information.
  • Cashback is ineligible on payments made with Crypto currency.
  • Cashback can only be earned by customers opening a new PureVPN account. Renewals are ineligible for cashback.
  • 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

  • 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.
  • PureVPN 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.

For better tracking, use the TopCashback app, click the "Get 120% Cashback" pink button to the PureVPN 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, DNS AdGuard, Honey, etc), VPNs, avoid browsers such as Brave, close additional browser tabs, and don't click away to other sites after clicking from TopCashback AU as tracking will be lost.
  • 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).

  • If you're not familiar, cashback is usually paid in about 3 months. Estimated payable is up to 16 weeks. You can see the estimated payable when you click "+" on the transaction in your Earnings page.

    Ref: What do the statuses 'pending', 'confirmed' and 'payable' mean?

    • wow.. may I ask how much profit you made in total?

      • approx $30*16?

        • Not all at 130% cashback. A few $19 & $20 profit at 120% cashback included in the list.

  • Hi Op, since you are the most experienced here with this ongoing deal, how have you been managing the cancellations?

    Do you cancel once you have been paid or only cancel when renewal dates are near?

    I find that it takes between 3-6 emails back and forth, depending on who you get, to close the account.

    • Once I sign up using PayPal, I immediately cancel the ongoing automatic payments from PureVPN (GZ Systems Limited).

    • I cancel the auto-renewal several months after cashback is paid using the steps mentioned here (without contacting PureVPN).

      I haven't requested PureVPN to close the accounts. I can still use any of my accounts until they expire although I don't use a VPN.

      • You better check your emails then, because when i select close my account, i get the start of back and forth emails trying to convince me not to do it. Not sure if its the same process as cancelling the subscriptions?

        • I haven't requested for my accounts to be closed. As mentioned, I have cancelled the auto-renewal/subscription but can still use the VPN. It would be different to closing the account.

          Here are the steps to cancelling the auto-renewal/subscription:

          • Login to your account.
          • Choose 'Subscriptions' on the left hand side.
          • At the bottom of page, click 'Cancel Subscription'.
          • Choose a reason. I chose 'I no longer need the service'.
          • Continue to choose 'Cancel Subscription'.
            ('File a refund' disappears after 30 days from purchase date.)

          It will cancel subscription/auto-renewal but you will still be able to use the VPN until it expires.

          You may be able to update your payment card with a used gift card e.g. Coles Mastercard gift card or similar. It doesn't always accept the gift card and has declined a few times.

    • I insist on closing the account and have a similar experience. I find that if you front load your request with the standard answers it tends to go quicker, but half the support agents will still not read and ask you the standard questions anyway. Usually 2-3 responses.

      I'm not sure if closing the account will do anything, but I'd rather a clean break of the account incase there are any surprises down the line, especially since it's unclear how the CB itself benefits them and the whole thing feels a bit sus.

  • Thanks! Is any time ok today if we did it on the 22nd last time?

    • Unfortunately not today as 3 weeks would be tomorrow if you bought on 22nd May in the last offer. I'm not sure if your order would track if you purchase today.

      • Hahaha shit I thought it was Friday

        • Regarding the time of purchase tomorrow, please see my comment here.

      • TopCashback should change the rule to 17 days since the last purchase to avoid unnecessary calculations & cancellations.

        • This is the first time in 2026 that the upsized offer is back a bit sooner than the 21 day gap, requiring a calculation.

          TopCashback had changed the rule from 28 days to 21 days since Dec 2025 mentioned here.

        • Offer expires on Sun 14th June 11pm AEST (unless PureVPN changes or cancels it early). I checked with the rep.

  • just purchased and canceled the subscription thereafter -> cashback tracked $156.98 payable ~ 16weks

    • You cancelled the subscription few days after tracked confirmation?

      • Just to clarify. As a precaution, I write to cancel the auto-renewal/subscription after cashback is paid. However cashback is usually paid when the auto-renewal is cancelled before the cashback is confirmed or payable.

      • cancelled auto-renew right after activation.

  • 120 instead of the usual 130%.

    Wonder if we should hold out for a 130%

    • Why not go for both, 20% profit this time and then 30% profit next ;)

      • If it's anything like TCB US. 130% came out a couple of days later.

        Also I think this is the first time that the new customers period had been reduced to 3 weeks (with the exception of the Christmas special)

        • The 3 weeks term has been in the TopCashback Australia T&Cs since December 2025 as mentioned here.

          All the 6 offers in 2026 (January to June) state:

          Only one (1) PureVPN purchase is permitted per member every 21 days (3 weeks).

  • OzB email notification is so unreliable.
    I subscribed to store: purevpn but never received the previous 2 you posted:
    - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/956686
    - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/960185
    😭

    • The deal/url is topcashback.com.au, you will only receive store notifications for subscriptions to the main store Topcashback.com.au.

      You can create a search alert for purevpn type:ozbdeal instead.

      • Thanks for the suggestion! Just subscribed to that too.

  • thanks op

  • This or Nord?

    • Don't know about Nord, but I signup for this just for the profile

      • profile profit

        • Damn auto correction!!

      • Can i add this to my linkedin profile?

    • Wrong question, people do this not for the VPN

  • How much money do people actually make from this? Just curious.

    • ~$20 if 120%
      ~$40 if 130%
      Since I started in July 2025 (latecomer), I've raked in ~$250

      Better than the $0.20 from Trivago

      • It's closer to $30 profit at 130% cashback as per my comment here in the last 130% offer.

  • Paid: $137.01
    Cashback tracked: $156.98
    Profit: $19.97

  • Never tracked. Thought I'd get TopCash back to claim on my behalf. A few MONTHS later, they advised that it was rejected! Some BS story which is 100% untrue. I don't use any plugins, used a browser, clicked the link from the TopCashback page, purchased - same as any other transaction I've ever done that has successfully tracked in the past. There's no appeal option. Scam. If you don't get it tracked, just cancel your account and try again with another email. Lesson learned.

    • Sorry to hear. It's better to cancel for a refund within 31 days as suggested in all my PureVPN posts.

      If your order hasn't tracked, please "File a refund" from PureVPN within 31 days under their 31-day money-back guarantee. Please do not submit a missing cashback claim as cashback could be rejected.

      T&Cs:

      If your PureVPN order fails to track to your TopCashback account within 48 hours, please request a refund directly from PureVPN and purchase again with a new click. Unfortunately PureVPN cannot guarantee the success of missing cashback claims.

    • Which browser? Some browsers now have built-in Tracking Protection turned on by default which can block cashback tracking for some sites.

  • Hey @trixieb

    For those of us who bought in May - does the time of day matter?
    There is a lot of chatter about the day, but only small mentions of time.

    I bought last time on Sunday 24th May, do I need to make sure I don't buy it this Sunday 14th until after the same time of day??
    Or is anytime on Sunday fine?
    Should I use tracking time on TCB page as the guide?

    • I wrote the time of purchase as a precaution because some members mentioned the time previously.

      As discussed in similar PureVPN posts here and here, no one knew. We had tagged and asked the rep but didn't get a response.

      Cashback was still paid when I didn't pay attention to the time and bought a few hours earlier in previous offers (but on the eligible day).

      You can use the tracking time in your email as a guide as to when to purchase on Sun 14th June if you wish. The exact eligible day would be more important than the exact time.

      • Sadly we did never get an official answer.

        I had successful tracking and payout around a year ago, purchasing it about 8 hours prior to 30 full days between purchases. However, this could change at any time.

        If you bought at 2 pm on 24th May I would wait to 2:01 pm on 14th June.

        Although separate sites I have observed that the trivago deal on TCB US requires 24 hours between purchase to track and does not use calendar days, so the tech is probably there to enforce this more strictly with PureVPN purchases in Australia.

        Of course if @tightarse wants to chime in? :)

        • i do the trivago deal at different times, really whenever i remember - it has always tracked for me.

          TCB germany Trivago however - that's a real hit and miss

        • Offer expires on Sun 14th June 11pm AEST (unless PureVPN changes or cancels it early). I checked with the rep. I've given up asking about the time lol

          • @trixieb: What's the best cards to use for this? I used Amex and they stung me a pretty hefty transaction fee

            • @Duece1995: The best cards I've used are Macquarie Bank (debit card), Ubank (debit card) and Bankwest (More rewards credit card). These cards do not have international transaction fees. Another card is Wise which is popular here but I don't have Wise.

              Revolut has a 1% weekend fee for standard customers. HSBC Visa debit card uses a less favourable exchange rate compared to the above preferred cards.

              As mentioned in the post, if you use PayPal AU to pay with these cards, PayPal AU may charge a currency conversion fee although the cards attached do not have international transaction fees. I have been charged extra with PayPal AU before. I paid directly with Macquarie Bank card today.

              $18.43 profit calculated here.

    • In case you don't see this as I replied to stripe here.

  • Haven't used this before. Does anybody know if it streams BBC well? Would really like to stream the world cup in 4k which isn't available in Australia

    • Someone mentioned using this VPN for BBC. I haven't tried.

      The PureVPN banner on TopCashback website advertises streaming the FIFA World Cup live.

  • Have to buy tomorrow. Thanks

  • Hate to be a snob, but I will pass on 120%

  • Well I'm glad I at least don't have to pay to watch porn

  • Does your TCB account email have to match the email used to purchase on PureVPN? Or it doesn't matter what email is used on PureVPN as long as you clicked through from TCB and the email is unique to PureVPN?

    • Use a new email for PureVPN if purchased before, to be considered a new customer. You can use the Gmail trick with dot or plus.

      The email used for PureVPN doesn't have to match the email at TopCashback.

      • Thanks for confirming mate.

        Already tracked for $19 profit.

      • Need some guidance on the dots and plus with Gmail. Never done it before. Did someone post some examples? Thanks mate

        • Try send email to

          neolight+ozb1@gmail.com
          neolight.ozb1@gmail.com

          • @timhn: Those emails are different though.
            Emails sent to neonlight.ozb1@ go to neonlightozb1@

            Emails sent to neonlight+ozb1@ go to neonlight@

  • Thanks OP

    I'm running out of email addresses

    I can't remember if someone posted some combinations can be used

    I'm using Gmail, yahoo and protonmail

    Any tips?

    Nord VPN did not allow changing PayPal method to use your credit card currency conversion and I forgot if PureVPN allows as I have been using Macquarie bank card directly before at checkout

    • For example, your email neonlight@gmail.com
      You can put:
      n.eonlight@gmail.com
      ne.onlight@gmail.com
      neo.nlight@gmail.com
      neon.light@gmail.com
      neonl.ight@gmail.com
      neonli.ght@gmail.com
      neonlig.ht@gmail.com
      neonligh.t@gmail.com
      neonlight+1@gmail.com
      neonlight+2@gmail.com
      and so on

      All incoming emails will arrive in neonlight@gmail.com ;-)

      • Neon Light’s Gmail glides from neonlight to ne.onlight to neo.nlight to neon.light, while neoleo neatly teaches the trick that every light lands in Neon Light’s Gmail.

        A new tongue twister!

      • Thanks for sharing. Will PureVPN recognise each of these as a different, or as the same email?

        • Different email, new account.
          I have used the dot trick previously and plus now

      • Thanks for the tip with email. Hope they will not be any issues with future transactions. Have one question, when we add email with plus 1 or with . , we get PureVPN details in the same email right. Then to cancel these subscriptions in pure von, can we see all subscriptions tied with this email at same member account from PureVPN?

        • If you pay through PayPal, just cancel through PayPal in Subscriptions menu.

          If you pay through bank card, at least put a reminder for each cancellation date every month if you buy this every month. Include the email as well.

          Different email, different PureVPN account. So, you need to login to different PureVPN account if you don't pay through PayPal. This is why I always pay through PayPal as it is easier to cancel in Subscriptions menu.

          If you use a single use or disposable virtual card, no need to worry about cancelling.

          • @neoleo: As mentioned in the post, please note that PayPal AU may charge additional PayPal currency conversion fee. I paid extra $7-$8 when I used PayPal with a credit card that has no international transaction fees. Other people were also charged this fee using PayPal as mentioned in previous PureVPN posts.

            You can probably avoid paying extra fees if you have USD currency in your PayPal AU account.

            • @trixieb: The reason why I use Wise virtual card in Paypal. I converted the exact amount to USD needed. Then used it to pay PureVPN. No fee from PayPal. Only conversion fee from Wise under 50 cents.

              • @neoleo: Curious why you use Wise in Paypal at all, is the benefit that it's quicker/easier for payment? But then you're also manually converting to USD within Wise first, which surely negates said time benefit? If there's something I'm missing do let me know as I'm a Wise customer too.

                • @Click_It: Usually I login Paypal first in a browser, then open Topcashback in the same browser but different tab. Faster payment when choosing Paypal, I think. I can also cancel any subscriptions in Paypal.

                  I think in the past I got problem with using Wise virtual card for PureVPN payment, but no problem through Paypal. Or maybe it's a different problem.

                  Converting AUD to USD in Wise is fast and only takes under 50 cents for PureVPN payment amount.

                  • @neoleo: Ok good points, I might try it next time.
                    I hope I don't have payment problems with my current Wise payments. They tracked fine.

  • Looking for some feedback on using purevpn with virtual servers in India (for Jiohotstar - formerly Disney Hotstar )
    TIA

    • I use Surfshark for JioHotstar. 4k live streams do buffer at times but 1080p works most of the times.

      • Do you use the App or Web browser surfing?

      • Thanks @DealHuntersXD, will resubscribe to Surfshark ,

  • Error Detected
    Unfortunately, we cannot process your request at the moment.

    Always get this error. Anyone knows how to bypass this?

  • Paid - $137.38
    Tracked - $155.81
    Profit - $18.43

  • Noob question, I have tried to pay with credit card- didn't work, then tried Apple Pay and it only wants $1 US, help pls

    • Try changing your email. Please see my reply here.

      • thanks for the help but it still didn't work, credit card payment would not go thru and when I tried Apple Pay it only asked for $1 US

        • Put the credit card in Paypal?

  • Hi Op,
    Couple of questions for you,

    I tried last deal with topback US, the payment failed as it turns out PurVPN have problems with prepaid VISA cards (they are not handling the 3D secure properly) plus their gpay option was broken on the day. I asked them to look into it but cashback deal expired well before they fix it and subscription expired rather than just being not started. (e.g. the system created a new account, setup a subscription and just marked it as not paid requiring later payment)

    All this is evil for a cashback process that expects to track a payment online in real time I assume. Fragile enough process even in ideal conditions.

    Anyway, OP,
    Question 1:
    In this situation, if I use this new deal, will I now be an "existing customer" and not get the cashback if I try to buy again?

    Do I need to create a new email account and start again or can I use the existing email account with the expired subscription?

    Question 2:
    Also I want the dedicated IP, its the only reason I see PureVPN as having advantage over the others (dedicated IP+port forwarding seems to be rare as hens teeth with VPN providers at the moment)
    So if I add the IP/port forward add-on do you think it will invalidate the cashback for the VPN main service?
    Support claimed otherwise but they also tried to blame me for needing 3D secure (which is obviously an international standard for payments, so not trusting a word purevpn support says)

    • As mentioned in the post description and comment here, use a new email for PureVPN to be considered a new customer for cashback. You can use the Gmail trick with dot or plus.

      Cashback could be rejected if you use the same email that had a subscription to PureVPN (including the failed/expired subscription via TopCashback US).

      The email used for PureVPN doesn't have to match the email at TopCashback.

      You can purchase the add-on but cashback would not be paid on the add-on as per T&Cs. Cashback would be paid on the eligible component of your order.

      I'm only a member of TopCashback Australia and not a member of other TopCashback locations. I haven't tried to use a prepaid Visa card to pay the PureVPN subscription via TopCashback Australia. However there are other non-VPN businesses in Australia who also reject these prepaid cards especially when it's a subscription service.

  • Thanks TrixieB, first time trying this - tracked in around 15 min. I can't see how this could possibly be sustainable for PureVPN / TopCashback.

    Oddly didn't receive any confirmation of payment (via email) but has gone through

    • Bought Max 2-year plan (+ 3 months) US$95.85.
    • Tracked in 13-14 minutes.
    • Paid A$137.38 (Using card without foreign fees i.e. Macquarie Bank).
    • Tracked A$129.84 (Excludes currency conversion fees, GST etc).
    • Cashback A$155.81 (120% of $129.84).
    • Profit A$18.43 ($155.81 less $137.38).
    • Exact numbers I received just now also. Thanks OP.
      Using Up card for fun.

  • I got the same too. Wondering why some above tracked at $156.98

    • The exchange rate was better yesterday at TCB/PureVPN as cashback was higher as mentioned here.

      We got the same figures purchasing today but we couldn't buy yesterday due to 21 day term from 22nd May order.
