I just saw bitrefill doing 50% cashback for NordVPN gift cards. Or is there a catch to the said cashback?
There's a Dutch (non-crypto) site doing 100% cashback for new NordVPN customers. I've never tried it, because Mullvad's "no discounts" sounds like a much better business model. I remember the Facebook expression: if I'm not paying for it, I'm the product being sold.
That's very interesting, 100% cashback? Was it for 1 month or 1 year? 1 month is okay but if there was a cashback on 12 months, then there is definitely something wrong.
It's expected Mullvad wouldn't offer Black Friday discount. After all, they always offer flat 5 EUR/month with 10% discount if you pay with cryptocurrency. Deal by Proton VPN isn't half bad either, although it's Proton Unlimited (where you also get email, drive and others) is better choice if you really trust Proton with all kinds of tasks.
I like Mullvad's and IVPN's approach but it would be really nice if there was a small discount during Black Friday, at least for a monthly plan but there is a thing that I don't like about Mullvad, they are centralizing privacy, i.e. Mullvad VPN, Mullvad Browser, Mullvad Search, maybe it's my wrong intuition but I think this is bad for privacy when you use three products of one provider. That's why I don't use Proton, they have so many services under their Proton hood that I do not find it safe.
Did anyone use the advantage of Black Friday deals? Was my thread and Black Friday deals links beneficial for you? Some websites had done it in a way that it was not possible to get info about Black Friday discount directly from their website.
