Our Verdict
Some people might want to buy Membership Rewards points for 1 penny each, or just want to use this VPN service. I saw someone mention an Amex Offer for 10% back on NordVPN, but I can’t find it.
Hat tip to reader MK
Anyone know If we can cancel the subscription now and keep it until the renewal?
“Cash Back is earned only on the NordVPN Basic plan portion of a bundled subscription of Plus, Complete or Prime plans.”
Does buying only Basic plan works? Asking because language says cashback on bundled subscription of Plus/Complete/Prime
Interesting. The same question here.
I suppose I could this to earn MR points. You are effectively buying miles at 0.01 CPP. If you transfer when AMEX has transfer bonuses it’ll decrease that number – 15% bonus to LifeMiles = 0.87 CPP, 20% bonus to Etihad = 0.83 CPP.
First time Signup yesterday using 100% link total paid around $88 (83+tax)
Rakuten pending this morning around 83
FYI : TAX NOT COVERED BY RAKUTEN
Was this for the 2-year plan + 3 EXTRA months ($3.09/mo) at $83.43 (plus tax)?
It says “Cash Back is earned only on the NordVPN Basic plan portion”. Does that mean only cashback 100% up to Basic plan? Meaning on $83 of the $188 you would pay for Prime subscription you get 100% cashback and no cash back for the remaining $105?
I’ll add a note
That seems correct. So, just get the basic plan.
So, what plan can I buy? Is there a limit? Can I buy the most expensive one for two years?
You can buy the most expensive but dont get cashback for more than the basic plan. See added note and exclusions.
Bought it 2 days ago and apparently it didn’t track on Rakuten, or it could be explained that I have received this exact same bonus (100%) last year with a different email address.
Would beware with NordVPN. They wouldn’t even send me an order number as I tried to reconcile a portal purchase, claiming that because I had purchased their service previously, I wasn’t entitled to any portal cashback. (I had purchased the service previously, but there was nothing in the terms of the portal about purchasing the service for the first time, and I had never claimed portal cashback from any portal with NordVPN prior.) I then submitted to the AA portal and NordVPN’s yet to respond to their missing miles claim for months now.
Offer.love doesn’t have anything about a Nord offer
