IT’S BACK! https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/704547
Last time, I paid ~$7 for 2 years of VPN after cashback

Deal ends 11:59pm Tuesday, 28 June.

For those who decided to sit on it last time.

Please READ this before you purchase:

  1. Use the Cashrewards mobile app for best tracking results. Personally, I never had an instances where it didn’t track with Cashrewards app. I learnt it hard way with the browsers.
  2. Before you purchase NordVPN, make sure you scrolled down and Nord didn’t add any add-on products with additional costs (some add-ons are automatically ticked, ensure it is unticked)
  3. To avoid GST, select non-GST countries such as US. Personally, I used post code/zip code ‘90210’. GST component is excluded from the cashback. At this point, your USD amount should be $78.96 for 2 years. If not, check again.
  4. Use international/foreign-transaction-fee free card like Macq, Citi, 28 degrees etc.

FAQ:

  • When do I get tracking email?
    o Based on my previous experience, you will get cashreward tracking email within 1 hour. If you don’t get this within a day, something has gone wrong, enjoy for few more days and cancel for a full refund

  • When do I get paid?
    o Up to 90 days, should be 6 to 8 weeks.

  • How do they classify ‘New customer’
    o It is based on your email address, if you had one before even free trials, use new/another email address.

  • What are some of the things that I can use with VPN?
    o Youtube premium Argentina (only once off required during sign up) ~AUD$2.20 - please search for previous posting for more details
    o Netflix Turkey (only once off required during sign up) - please search for previous posting for more details
    o Netflix US or UK contents (VPN required at the time of viewing)
    o BBC iPlayer (VPN required at the time of viewing).
    o EPL / MLB / Golf / NFL / Tennis via Peacock. AUD ~$7.20 (VPN required at the time of viewing)

    Hey guys, and thanks for posting the deal superbass. These tips will help :)

    • A new customer is defined by NordVPN, and nothing to do with your Cashrewards account. Simply use a new email address at their end, the same Cashrewards account as always, and you're good to go.

    • Click 'Shop Now' or 'Shop Offer' and buy - don't click to other sites looking for codes and certainly don't use any 3rd party plugins. Better still use the Cashrewards mobile app on 4G/5G as this eliminates potential issues with WiFi/router firewalls and the like. Tracking for NordVPN typically takes 1-4 hours.

    • Remove any up-sold products from your cart such as NordPass & NordLocker as they will not be eligible for cashback.

    • And finally please remember you have the safety net of NordVPN's 30-day money back guarantee should tracking fail. All the best :)

      Hi TA, my three years plan will be ending in about 8 months. Just wanted to check with you if CR will continue to have such deals for nord in future?

      Don't want to buy now and waste 8 months out of 2 years.

        Makes you wonder why they normally charge so much.

        I have nothing against Nord, but if I had more to hide I might find their marketing a little too good.

      Subsidised for being a honeypot

    • MikeKulls on 26/06/2022 - 16:36

      They have fairly high renewals after the free trial, so I think they are making plenty of profit.

    • superbass on 26/06/2022 - 22:34
      +1

      I thought about this the other day as well and the way I looked it was there are couple of key metrics, they or their investors would look at and one of them has to be subscriber numbers. i.e. they need to show that the business is growing in this competitive VPN market thus promos like this help them to boost their subscriber base in exchange of ARPU (average revenue per user). or even better this sort promos can be classified as below the line marketing initiative, so you can keep the ARPU artificially high if they classify cashback as 'overall marketing costs'

      • mctubster on 27/06/2022 - 11:10

        That is great thought re cash backs potentially being classified as a marketing expense. Had similar thoughts re retailers paying a marketing fee to eBay for the 20% discount codes offered in the past.

    Very happy with Nord so far (6 weeks). Came from PIA and it was bit trash

    • superbass on 26/06/2022 - 14:25

      same. I dont use it often (thus $7 for 2 years make sense for me) but when I use it, its all good

    • GS9891 on 26/06/2022 - 14:35

      Came from PIA too, the Nord desktop client takes an eternity to launch compared to the PiA client, and the killswitch isn't as easy as with PiA, but other than that speeds have been fine.

      • superbass on 26/06/2022 - 14:42

        have you tried chrome extension? I've been using that for most of mine and its super fast to switch on and off

          Nah, but I need it to function out of browser anyway for all the Linux .iso's I'm torrenting.

      • bobvegas on 26/06/2022 - 20:51

        I had that problem too, but not sure how I fixed it, I had thought I uninstalled PIA and that was the fix, but just checked PIA is still installed. Maybe the process is to uninstall both clients, restart computer and install Nord

    • Ulysses31 on 26/06/2022 - 17:09

      I tried NordVPN AndroidTV app, and it only gave one option for USA. Tried to launch HBOMax app. No good.

      I thought Nord were massive, and highly experienced??

  • Mazozb on 26/06/2022 - 14:10

    Going through CR, the fee is showing as AUD even when i select US for non gst. Does it matter if you pay for this in AUD or does it have to be USD billing for some reason? (can't see anywhere to change the currency)

    • superbass on 26/06/2022 - 14:24
      +1

      I am surprised it is showing AUD. I thought it was also USD.
      In the end, it shouldn't matter - make sure you use international fee credit card just in case if you have one.

      • Mazozb on 26/06/2022 - 14:33
        +3

        skip that. It's USD. I was looking at more expensive plans and thought it's equiv AUD to your 78.96 price ref. lol

  • langitbiru on 26/06/2022 - 14:11

    Anyone can share, how do you set up your VPN in order to watch netflix US on TV?

    Do you need to have the VPN details attached to the model/router?

    • superbass on 26/06/2022 - 14:22
      +1

      depends what TV you have.. if you have android TV, you should be able to download from the app.
      I have samsung, so I turn VPN from my phone and turn netflix and mirror that on my TV

      • langitbiru on 26/06/2022 - 16:38

        • MikeKulls on 26/06/2022 - 16:44

          Some routers you can do it at the router. IMO that is the best option. I use Mikrotik and it works quite well. You can even select which devices go to which country at the router. You can also have some devices not go through the VPN, eg for gaming

        • neonlight on 27/06/2022 - 08:03

          Does this work for prime video? Watching in US?

  • jagimc on 26/06/2022 - 14:13

    Does hotstar+ (Indian) work on Nord? I had VPN Unlimited and they recently removed all servers from India.

      Same issue + it was slow. Never manage to get 4k. US Paramount+ kept buffering. NZTV+ also kept buffering even on 1080p.

    • superbass on 26/06/2022 - 14:29

      I think Nord is there for now. I might be wrong on this but I think it's safe to assume all of the VPN companies won't have India severs soon due to restrictions from Indian government.

    • auindie on 26/06/2022 - 14:44

      Also in the same boat and looking for Indian servers

      • jagimc on 26/06/2022 - 14:47

        Just found a statement from Nord confirming their removal of Indian servers from June 26th.

        • superbass on 26/06/2022 - 14:57

          Thanks for confirming.

          • tryingtohelp on 26/06/2022 - 16:36

            @superbass: I have nord and have used it to VPN india. Technically, today is the last day that they will allow Indian servers, from tomorrow, there wouldn't be any Indian servers available. That will be the case with many VPN providers due to tighter laws with internet access in the country.

                    @Lucille Bluth: I just did a google search on this. There are several articles detailing why Surfshark, nord and others aren’t pulling out of the Indian market. India has new laws in place affecting von providers starting tomorrow. Vpns in India now need to keep logs on their users for 5 years along with their real names and other data. This sounds like the end of subbing to YouTube premium and other services through India with a vpn. Ozbargainers with YouTube premium via India should check tonight to ensure their payment details with YouTube consists of a credit or debit card that won’t expire for the next few years. After tonight it is hard to say whether you will be able to log in to YouTube India through a vpn

    Nordvpn recently added MeshNet to their offering. Just this service itself is already worth the $.
    Sample use case: renting a property that doesnt come with ethernet - add all device to MeshNet and share files/data over private VPN. Caveat: you need fast download/upload speed which 5G service provides

        For me at least, it's that I often get logged out of the extension - not continuous usage. 75% time I go to use it, I have to log in again.

      • Deals For Days on 26/06/2022 - 15:33
        +2

        I don't keep the connection live that long. I mean, when I restart the nord app, it often tells me I have to login again. It's pretty annoying because it takes you to the browser to log in, then back to the app.

        Just a waste of time, that's all.

  • TwentyTwoCarats on 26/06/2022 - 14:31

    Nice. With those one-off VPN purchases like YouTube Premium from Argentina, I usually just use Opera Browser's built-in VPN and it works. Also done it for NBA League Pass, usually from South America and I get it for about $75 AUD rather than nearly $300 AUD

    • superbass on 26/06/2022 - 14:56

      Agree. I used free ones when I did youtube premium as well.
      I am not a heavy user of VPN either, just want to have it when I need it every so often, so only $7 for 2 yrs make sense.

  • jinkerjinx on 26/06/2022 - 14:37

    Great for claiming those awesome Disney, Netflix, YouTube, NBA League Pass etc. deals on OzBargain!

    Hit and miss getting around those geo-blocks to watch foreign streaming services. Although it seems everyone's experience with this is different.

    Not so great for blocking ads anymore (especially Facebook), and entering competitions, when you have to turn it off to enter your details (which kinda defeats the purpose).

    For 96% cashback, you can't go wrong …just make sure you follow the OP's directions above and you'll be 'right!

  • NuclearWessels on 26/06/2022 - 16:00

    Just bought and it was $120.39 with $101.86 cashback

    So about $18-$19 total. Looks like the 96% cashback is not applied to GST so you pay about $10 more than I was expecting
