Deal History:
- Update 2/26/25: Deal is back again at 100% (ht DDG). Also, iProVPN is at 101% cashback, ExpressVPN at 100%, and Surfshark at 90%
- Update 1/13/25: Deal is back again, 100% this time (ht DP). Same deal for Surfshark too.
- Update 8/21/22: Deal is back again, this time up to 105% so it should be a small moneymaker. (ht Sam Y.)
- Update 7/24/22: Deal is back (ht Andrew H); Update 6/27/22: Deal is back.
Purchased Oyster VPN and cashback didn’t track. Opened a ticket with Topcashback. This is my experience every time.
Hi there,
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had this experience. The best way to ensure Cash Back tracks is to: turn off ad-blockers, regularly clear cookies & cache, shop with as few tabs open as possible and always begin shopping with an empty cart. If you need some assistance or have questions, feel free to reach me at [email protected].
Best wishes,
Erica
Opened a ticket after 7 days after the transaction, and Topcashback hasn’t done anything.
Same experience with expressvpn. It shows the click to merchant but did not receive cashback. Cancelled expressvpn and stopped using topcashback.
Hi Jared,
If your transactions don’t track in the future, submit a Missing Cash Back Claim and we’ll be happy to chase this up for you. If you ever need assistance, you can email me at [email protected].
Best wishes,
Erica
DP: Purchased FastestVPN for $30 lifetime (clicking on the TopCashBack link on the website with every extension turned off except for the TopCashBack extension). Showed pending about 5 hours later.
VPN itself is pretty barebones/bad (I use VPNs on a daily basis and have gone through many companies), especially with the Wireguard protocol that I exclusively use, so I unfortunately don’t think I’ll be able to use it much, if at all…
Purevpn is garbage! 98% of the time it won’t even connect. Their customer support is useless too, all they will do is sending you bunch of suspicious links to download/install.
Anyone have any commentary about which of these may work to change location for MLB games? The VPN I’ve always used in previous years (Windscribe) is blocked 100% for all MLB domains (403 errors) no matter which location I connect to. Any tips would be appreciated!
PIA is starting to get blocked on a lot of public routers (at least at my two jobs). FastestVPN ‘lifetime’ service is poorly reviewed on their subreddit (frequent downtime). OysterVPN is only 40% cashback. Keeper is a password manager.
Personally, I’m still riding the free 50GB Windscribe service.
if we did this before can we do it again
IMHO – Go Surfshark or Nord VPN, or go home. Sometimes free stuff is worth exactly what you pay for it.
I wouldn’t even use SurfShark. Its NordVPN or nothing.
These deals are just for manufacturing spending. I signed up for PureVPN back in October for the cash back. I haven’t even touched it. Got the 100 or 110% cash back or whatever, manufactured spend to work towards the Capital One Venture SUB, it tracked fine. I’m happy :).
nodvpn is not the same as before !
Compared to their group company surfshark, speed/app feature/wireguard support/limited cities its inferior. Too much commercial since their merger/compromise.
I have nord/surfshark /purevpn/pia/ivacy. Using surfshark mostly and purevpn sometimes.
I’m more concerned about the logging and jurisdiction, which NordVPN scores highest in. Check this spreadsheet (not my sheet): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1ijfqfLrJWLUVBfJZ_YalVpstWsjw-JGzkvMd6u2jqEk/htmlview?pli=1
I don’t see that sheet is accurate. Nordvpn now has exit in india (after a pull back) which means it’s data is logged (govt requirement). Netflix works better with surfshark so score of 2 vs 5 is not correct. It once was great but after merger it’s all about revenue now.
Tried to do PIA and they would not approve any of my credit cards.

Just received payment today on TCB for transactions from Jan 14.
I just recently received (1 week ago) payment from TCB for transactions on Dec 2nd
Private Internet Access tracked and was confirmed for me. However, I have not received payment for it yet. The estimated payable has exceeded past 7 weeks. I messaged customer service and they said the funds were not received from Private Internet Access yet.
Payment received on 3/21
