This cashback increase for NordVPN is back again for new customers. Offer ends Mar 6 11:59pm AEDT.

Be sure to check the terms below and TA's handy tips here

Special Terms

Cashback is eligible for new NordVPN customers only.

Cashback is eligible only on NordVPN plans, and not on any up-sold products such as NordPass & NordLocker.

Cashback may be ineligible if using codes not listed on Cashrewards, and ineligible on any payments made with Crypto currency.

Cashback is calculated and paid on the advertised cost of the plan only. It will not include any GST, taxes, credit card or PayPal surcharges.

The amount that tracks to your Cashrewards account may differ to the paid amount due to international exchange rates. Your initial payment is converted to USD, then converted back to AUD when reported to us. The advertised cashback rate is based on the reported amount, not the paid amount. Cashrewards has no control over this process.

    so confusing…someone double check?

    For Standard

    So $83.79 for 2 years then 96% cash reward

    So…$3.35 for 2 years? hmmm

    • Goldfire on 04/03/2023 - 14:42

      That's about right. I grabbed the PIA VPN cashback deal mid last year.
      I paid $75AUD then got a $70AUD cashback. $5 for two year VPN access essentially.

    • Zackeroo on 04/03/2023 - 15:51

      Hmm, I did the same calculations too. Mine was showing $83.76, but it works out to $3.35 regardless. Seems too good to be true, but I'm very interested in going for it

    • throwsofaraway on 04/03/2023 - 17:25

      its a monthly deal at this rate, you can see past deals with similar cashback rates

    • OpticalCog on 04/03/2023 - 18:01

      Fwiw last time this deal came around:

      Visa Card Charge: $125
      Cashrewards: $117

      ~93.5% cashback with fees etc.

    • hippo2s on 04/03/2023 - 20:54
      +1

      so actually..it is
      $136 charged to my CV
      minus $115.74 cash reward

      so around $22 AUD for standard plan, got 3 months free, so 27 months…

      81 cents a month.

      • spy on 05/03/2023 - 01:17

        You paid gst

        • hippo2s on 05/03/2023 - 15:32

          didnt want cashreward to give any excuse of my order being not how it should have been. small fee.

  • M00Cow on 04/03/2023 - 14:42
    +8

    Last time they said 96% but only came thru as 89%,, they blamed GST (since I said I was in Delaware, there was none) then the exchange rate, but that'd ha e to be using airport money exchange.

    So just a heads up, it will be cheap, but not 96%

    • badmedicine on 04/03/2023 - 15:10

      Same thing happened to me last time, it didn't quite work out to be 96%…

    • me1stt on 04/03/2023 - 15:24

      Yeh they just blamed conversion rate. I cancelled mine and will for shopback to do this deal.

      • Clear on 04/03/2023 - 16:18

        It'll track the same for Shopback. Cashrewards are giving back 96% of what NordVPN are reporting to them.

        • M00Cow on 04/03/2023 - 16:25

          Last time i did shopback, it was 100%, I got paid out 105% (ie more then they were offering)

          • Clear on 04/03/2023 - 16:31

            @M00Cow: That would mean NordVPN reported more than they should have, so I'd call that a win. Perhaps they've picked up now?

  • Bargainhunter365 on 04/03/2023 - 15:07

    If I ask Nordvpn to delete my old account, can I re-subscribe using this if I sign up a new account using the same email?

  • Jon M on 04/03/2023 - 15:22

    Don’t recommend this deal I’ve done it in the past and it wouldn’t track properly and support wouldn’t do anything about it. I’ve had no issue with any other deal from Cashrewards tracking though. So I assume it’s something on nordvpns end

  • G-rig on 04/03/2023 - 15:26

    When you say 96% do you mean 80%

    • waverock on 04/03/2023 - 15:58

      Exactly, you will only get 80% back when they deducted $$ FX conversion costs. It is very misleading.

      • G-rig on 04/03/2023 - 17:58

        It's bs because all my cards don't attract conversion fees, just tell me which currency to pay in. It's bs as cash rewards is Aussie based and Nord isn't.

    • Clear on 04/03/2023 - 16:19

      Cashrewards will give you 96% of what NordVPN are reporting to them.

  • ChatCPT on 04/03/2023 - 16:16

    err did i do something wrong??
    I signed up to the 2 yr plan got charged A$261.39 but cash back is only A$136.57
    :(

    • snoopster on 04/03/2023 - 16:26

      Nah, you didn't do anything wrong.. I think that is in line with the other comments here. For reference I got AUD115 back on a 2 yr plan (I paid AUD234 - I probably can't explain the difference there.) I was hoping to get more back too.. not sure if I should make noise to either cashback or nord

      • ChatCPT on 04/03/2023 - 16:30
        +2

        I think I figured it out

        Cashback is eligible only on NordVPN plans, and not on any up-sold products such as NordPass & NordLocker.

        The difference is the fees for NordPass and NordLocker

        • Clear on 04/03/2023 - 16:34

          Interesting. I wonder how many others have signed up for those and having issues.

              • ChatCPT on 05/03/2023 - 12:07

                @fedwood: Thanks mate! I emailed their support yesterday soon as I realised and they just replied now with that option.
                Live chat sounds better for sure!

                • fedwood on 05/03/2023 - 18:50

                  @ChatCPT: Yeh happened to me too.

                  Step 1. Buy now.
                  Step 2. Check what you bought and what you actually paid later.

    • Clear on 04/03/2023 - 16:33

      They certainly won't try to burn down your house like Heymix does.

      • Shaolinking on 04/03/2023 - 18:43

        True, but 96% is quite an asking too

  • Zoonk89 on 04/03/2023 - 16:47

    How does this compare to Mullvad?

    • Shoocat on 04/03/2023 - 16:54
      +4

      Depends what you need it for. Mullvad is better if you value privacy, but for getting around region blocking etc. this works well. The golden rule applies here though - if they are giving you 95+% back, your data is the product.

  • 7up on 04/03/2023 - 16:47

    can we change the tax country to argentina which is 0% and still get the cashback 96%?

    • bcYield on 04/03/2023 - 16:57

      Yes 0 tax for US back on mid Jan but few more % loss in conversion.

      You can try tax claim

  • Snoots on 04/03/2023 - 17:47

    It looks like NordVPN have passed a recent security audit. Read what you may into it, but at least it shows that they are willing to pay for someone to look at their network:

    https://nordvpn.com/blog/cure53-security-assesment/#:~:text=….

    I don't use a VPN much, but I find that it works well. The Windows client is slow to load though.

  • BlackForest on 04/03/2023 - 17:54

    Prices displayed are in USD, despite it saying charges are in AUD ($123.96 for 2 years plus 3 month birthday gift). I contacted support and was told that "$" is USD charge and that this can be found in the disclaimer. Waiting for cashback to track and if it tracks differently, I will cancel it atraight away.
    EDIT: cashback tracked as $115.74, making it $8.22 for 27 months.

  • OpticalCog on 04/03/2023 - 18:12
    +1

    Fwiw last time this deal came around:

    Visa Card Charge: $125 AUD
    Cashrewards amount: $81 USD
    Cashrewards reward: $117 AUD

    ~93.5% cashback with fees etc.
    Imo only losing 2.5% on the multiple exchanges is pretty reasonable. AUD (card) -> USD (payment) and USD (CR amount) -> AUD (reward).
    People getting <90% back would recommend you check your bank doesn't have excessive international charge/xfer fees.

    • waverock on 05/03/2023 - 23:59

      I subscribed NordVPN when CR had the same deal (96%) last month. CR confirmed transaction amount US$84 (AU$124), but it only offered AU$109.7 reward to me and many other buyers took the same deal. I made a claim with CR and they told me it was due to FX conversation for the reward itself (not credit card charges). Apparently they increased the actual reward ratio this time perhaps due to too many complains last month.

      • OpticalCog on 06/03/2023 - 12:30

        That’s odd. The other thought I had was they they were basing reward FX rate at the ~90day mark not time of purchase. In my case the USD/AUD had changed (+7%) so perhaps that’s why it ended up being so close?

  • buyer on 04/03/2023 - 18:56
    +1

    I took the deal and ended up with 3 years standard standard plan for AU$27.14

    NordVPN charged US$100.62 for standard 2 year plan
    PLUS
    NordVPN birthday present of an additional 1 year standard plan.

    Add 10% GST which makes it US$110.68

    Visa card charge AU$163.71
    CashRewards cashback email received 45 minutes later showed US$99 paid, AU$136.57 cashback

    Makes a total of AU$27.14 for 3 years standard plan.

    • Pennywiser on 04/03/2023 - 19:19

  • timbertron on 05/03/2023 - 11:58

    I did this last time and found the experience pretty bad. When I clicked through the CR app to the Nord site it didn't state anywhere that the prices were in US dollars. Very misleading. I followed up with support who said it's clear before you click through that it's US dollars but it's not.

    I was going to post in that thread but it was locked for some reason.
