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. 130% 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 130% 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 unfamiliar with PureVPN, 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?

  • What's the profit?

    • The difference between what you paid including credit card fees minus the cashback received

    • Last time I did it in April 2025 - Purchase: $164.30. Cashback: $213.59

      The VPN works perfectly fine. Good speeds and I don't really have to update it that often.

      • My profit from April 2025 purchase was $39.92 ($213.59 minus $173.67) as mentioned here. $164.30 (less fees) was tracked but I actually paid $173.67.

        The profit was slightly higher in April 2025 because PureVPN charged more at US$109.95 for the same 2-year Max plan.

        PureVPN has reduced the price to US$95.85 and the profit is a bit less now at $32.75 for me today.

    • My profit in this offer is $32.75. Please see my calculation here.

      Profit depends on the plan chosen, payment method/card type (see tips in post) and date/time of purchase (currency fluctuations).

    • It is not 130% Profit as the first line of the post states.

      I think it is a bit less than 30%. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    • Profit is the financial gain realized when the revenue generated from a business activity exceeds the expenses, costs, and taxes involved in sustaining the activity.

  • Great work trixieb, so clear and helpful for everyone.

    • Agreed. @trixieb posts some awesome deals on OzB, excellent contributor to the community. Always on hand to offer support and feedback too. Thanks once again

  • Better than nordvpn? Surfshark?

    • Nordvpn is the best one out there if you're looking for a vpn . This one's just for the profit, not many use it.

      • Had bad experience in china using nord.. it doesn't work

        • China is a different world. Western crap doesn't work there, they're far more advanced

          • @soulblighter: I second this. In the west a VPN is used primarily for privacy (i.e., redirecting one's internet traffic), but in China it's for bypassing the firewall. Also the VPN work-ability varies signifincantly even across different provinces in China—one VPN working in Zhejiang may not work in Guangdong. I paid for an extremely expensive one (Astrill) which worked fine. But sure a few alternative options work as well. But Surshark definitely doesn't work there at all. Learned the lesson the hard way.

        • Worked fine in China for us recently

    • Surfshark also doesn’t work in China… had some complaints with its customer service team, but no progress.

    • Purevpn worked fine for me in china recently.

    • NordVPN better by far, but purevpn is actually quite decent.

    • best is to use ProtonVPN. stayed in China for 3 months and used that all the time. best to get it set up BEFORE you go into China.

    • Surfshark and Nord are owned by the same company.

      If you want a good VPN, use Mullvad, Proton or Windscribe.

  • Just bought one and order tracked, paid $137.64, tracked $170.39 , $32.75 profits, thanks op

  • Does Purevpn collect your information if you use their vpn?

    • It depends on what you mean by that. They will get all the billing details you used to purchase the plan obviously. If you browse websites and such they will know what sites you go to, but the actual data you transact with most websites is encrypted nowadays.

    • https://www.purevpn.com/no-log-assessment

      PureVPN does not log a user’s origin IP address
      PureVPN does not log a user’s assigned VPN IP address
      PureVPN does not log the specific time when a user connects to their VPN server
      PureVPN does not log a user’s activities through the VPN after connecting to the VPN server

    • Yes they can do anything with your information as per the T's and C's: "(D) WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF YOUR PERSONALLY-IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION."

      But don't stress because you can always raise a dispute via binding arbitration in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).

      • SSL (which these days is enabled by default for everything) will stop them being able to see your data.

    • Bought Max 2-year plan (+ 3 months) US$95.85.
    • Tracked in 12-13 minutes.
    • Paid A$137.64 (Using card without foreign fees i.e. Macquarie Bank).
    • Tracked A$131.07 (Excludes currency conversion fees, GST etc).
    • Cashback A$170.39 (130% of $131.07).
    • Profit A$32.75 ($170.39 less $137.64).
  • tracked in 17 mins for $170.39

  • This offer reminds me how fast months are passing anyway, thank you legend

  • A little confused about the Date Eligible To Buy part - if I bought on 27th June, it will be eligible if I buy again on 19th July not just 18th July, correct?

    • Yes

  • My fav deal is back!

  • Does the time of day of previous purchase actually count? The T&C's only say to confirm date of last purchase, not time

    • I wrote to note the time as a precaution in case of any issues. I didn't state the time initially in previous posts but a few members were concerned about the time so I mentioned it.

      I had bought several hours earlier on the same day in the past and my orders were tracked and paid.

  • Just Curious how are they making money out of these deals?

    • from 99% of their customers who don't get 130% cashback. :D

    • It could be the expectation of customer forgetting to cancel but 2 years is a long time and they pay you $30 for the privilege. Of course there is the chance that newly acquired customers purchase additional services/addons.

      But I'd say it has something to do with the below to assist data scraping for AI if you install the PureVPN app. As a workaround to capcha/bot detection. According to ChatGPT, PureVPN does not say they do this in their TnCs though, but they don't rule it out either.

      "Some free VPN providers include this bandwidth sharing in their terms of service," Maynard Koch, the chair of distributed and networked systems at Germany's Technische Universität, Dresden, told iTnews.

      "If you use such a "free" service, you basically install proxy software on your device and become part of the proxy network," Koch added.

      As users have agreed to the terms of service to use the software, providers can then claim that their proxies are "ethically sourced," Koch said.

      https://www.itnews.com.au/news/ai-data-hunger-feeding-a-shad…

      Here's an old article on PureVPN:

      "Yet, the most conclusive evidence came after the FBI managed to obtain logs from two VPN providers — PureVPN and WANSecurity."

      "The information in the affidavit may shock some PureVPN customers, as the company boldly advertises on its privacy policy page that it does not keep any logs."

      https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cyberstalking…

      • While I believe this could be a source of money, the thing I haven't figured out is how regularly this deal appears, how it appears to encourage people to take it multiple times, and the repeat deal takers are not really incentivised to use the product at all.

      • @rarelyscene I don't think so because PureVPN as far as I can tell just uses standard VPN protocols and no special browser etc.

        I am however, also extremely curious on this question. Something doesn't add up.

    • VPN dirt cheap to operate, large margins from regular customers.

      • This is the most plausible reason.

  • Paid 139.14 revolut

    • Tracked 170.39

      • Why the difference?

        • Weekend fee probably

          • @askbargain: Yes

            I'm wondering why people still using Wise or Revolut cards, with fees like this or ATM fees when exceed certain amount a month, when there are abundant other fees free from other banks also have no FX fees.

  • Let's go, Trixie!

  • Just curious guys - what do you guys use VPN for? I've had it for 2 years but barely used it. Would love to know what i am missing out on :)

    • U are missing out the profit

      • I did take the profit 2 years ago on a similar deal; I am just curious what people actually use the VPN for Or is it mainly a profit play :)

    • You never watch p0rnhub? Or any other service that requires age verification?

      • No. Better things to watch than porn.

        • Debatable. Mass debatable.

      1. Features could be restricted if you are visiting sites from an AU ip and don't verify your age (thanks to the new regulations set by the gov), so I route to NZ to bypass those.
      2. Some sites/services/contents could only be accessed from certain regions.
      3. You don't want to reveal your real ip to certain sites.
      4. You don't want your ISP to know what sites you're visiting.
        PureVPN? Only for profit. Their app and service are terrible.
      • you are using their app?

        • Which one? PureVPN? Tried before and deleted. Or you mean I should manually set up OpenVPN config?

    • I've found it often makes debrid work, when debrid otherwise isn't working on ABB.
      Also handy if you need to be in another country for cheaper overseas pricing.
      Had no trouble in China last time.

  • @trixieb Once again, appreciate the effort you put into this (and other) deals, trixieb. You introduced OzBargain to PureVPN profits! 😜

  • Can you use this for netflix?

    • Yes but you might not be able to pay

  • Nice one. I paid $131.07 and got back $170.39.

    • hmmm, i used macquarie card and paid 137.64 tracked at 170.39, what card are you using!

      • It seems $131.07 is the amount tracked (less fees) in TopCashback. Please see my comment here.

        • that makes me feel better haha, thanks mate. love your work!!!

  • Wanted to confirm, will cashback work if paying with Apple or Google pay?

  • For those of you who have a few of these accounts, how do you go about cancelling your older accounts?

    • 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.

      • It might be a good idea to recommend people make the initial purchase with a temporary or one-time virtual credit card, if their bank offers that feature, e.g. Bankwest's virtual credit card.

        I have a Bankwest Zero credit card which gives you access to virtual cards. Bankwest says "your single-use card expires after one purchase or within 24 hours if unused". You can also set up virtual cards that can be used until you manually close them, but there's a limit of three virtual cards being active at once.

        The "plain" Bankwest Zero card has fees for overseas transactions though, but these fees drop to zero if you get the "Platinum" Bankwest Zero card (minimum credit limit of $6000).

        One downside to Bankwest's implementation of their virtual credit cards: you can't tell, either online or by looking at a statement, if a virtual card was used for a purchase. It shows up exactly the same as if you had made the purchase with the "normal" credit card number, the one printed on your physical credit card. To get around this, I email-forward the emailed purchase receipt to myself, adding the note "used virtual credit card for this purchase".

        I believe Bankwest is the only bank that offers "expires after one use" virtual credit cards. Other banks have virtual cards, but you have to manually close those virtual cards.

        • Good advice, you can also buy with a card with no fx fees then update the payment method.
          Usually I try to update to a card which expire before the renewal to be safe.

        • The BankWest standard easy transaction account has virtual cards and no fees, no need for a credit card

          • @Dyl: That actually looks almost as good as the platinum zero credit card.

            There are two advantages to credit cards though, provided you always pay off your credit card in full:

            • if you get any fraudulent transactions, you just tell the bank "it wasn't me", and you don't have to pay that transaction. With a debit card, your money is already gone, and the bank will usually take weeks to put the money back into your account.

            • if you have a home loan with offset account, you save interest on your home loan. Say you typically spend $3000/month, the average amount on your card is $1500 over that month. That's effectively an extra $1500 in your offset account all year, saving you 0.06*1500, that's $90/year saved interest (assuming 6% interest on your home loan).

  • I can use this deal while overseas right?

    • Yes as mentioned in previous posts.

  • I find it is best to use a dedicated revolut card and then freeze it after in case you forget to cancel.

    • For those unaware, as mentioned in the post, Revolut has a weekend fee (1%) for standard customers.

      Another option could be Wise virtual card, without the weekend fee. I don't have Wise or Revolut.

      • I typically use a new disposable card in wise for this

      • I’m moving from Revolut to Wise for this exact reason

  • I know the OP has mentioned that we can cancel auto-renewal once the cashback is received but knowing that I'd 100% forget, has anyone tried cancelling auto-renewal straight away and still received the cashback?

    • knowing that I'd 100% forget

      If you have a Gmail account, you can set a calendar alert for a future date, and set it to email you an alert on that date (the email goes to your Gmail email account). Make the alert say "Reminder: cancel PureVPN if cashback has been received".

      If the cashback is delayed, you can always reschedule the alert to a later date.

      The email alert will stay in your list of emails until you delete it.

      Perhaps set a second calendar alert to occur regularly, say "8:00pm first Saturday of every month", saying "Reminder: check calendar alerts". Then you can just search your emails for "Reminder:" to see them all.

      Note: Gmail's mobile interface for setting alerts is crippled. You can't set "first Saturday of every month" on the mobile interface, but you can set it when in desktop mode, which (of course) is easiest to do on a desktop computer.

      • Thanks, yeah that's a good idea, need to start putting these reminders in Gmail which I usually check everyday anyway.

    • I wrote as a precaution and usually cancel after cashback is paid in case of rejections. Other people cancelled straightaway and were paid cashback.

  • Thank you! First time doing this VPN cashback profiteering, tracked in 14mins

  • Last purchased 27 June 2026, 11:00 pm
    To be safe should wait until the full 21 days.??

    • Please see my comment here.

    • I'm a bit scared or wasting my money so feel like waiting til tomorrow

    • I also did my previous purchase on 27 June, not sure on the hour, but I just did this round a couple of hours ago and it's tracked. Nothing wrong with being safe though

  • In terms of VPNs, is this provider better or CyberGhost (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/967760) better?

  • I can wait till tomorrow if we know deal is valid until tomorrow? Expiry date? I last purchased on 27th Jun.

    • Offer expires on Mon 20th July 11pm AEST (unless PureVPN changes or cancels it early). I checked with TA.

      • Awesome, I'll wait till Mon

        • Then you'll be in the same position next time, needing to wait until the last day or missing out… I last purchased 27 June and am buying again now

        • PureVPN may end the offer early and had done a few times.

          If there is non-tracking, you want to allow sufficient time to repurchase.

  • Hi team, what is the deadline for this promo? Is it 11:59PM 19 July?

    • Offer expires on Mon 20th July 11pm AEST (unless PureVPN changes or cancels it early). I checked with the TCB rep.

      • Trixie for Australian of the year!

  • Safe to cancel PayPal automatic payment immediately?
