Get Premium VPNs
for FREE with Cashback

Yes, it genuinely is free. Cashback sites earn a commission from VPN providers for referring customers. They pass most (or all) of that commission to you as cashback. With 100% cashback, you get back the full purchase price, making the VPN free. The only "catch" is that you need to be a new customer of both the cashback site and the VPN provider.

Cashback is a rebate you receive after making a purchase through a cashback platform. When you click through a cashback site to buy a VPN, the cashback site earns a referral fee from the VPN company. They share a portion (sometimes 100%) of this fee with you. It's a legitimate and widely-used savings method used by millions of shoppers worldwide.

Cashback typically takes 2-14 weeks to be confirmed and become withdrawable. The VPN provider needs to verify the sale wasn't refunded, and the cashback site needs to receive their commission. TopCashback is usually the fastest, with many VPN cashback amounts confirming within 4-8 weeks.

You should NOT cancel or request a refund during the refund window (typically 30 days). If you cancel and get a refund, the cashback will be voided because the VPN company reverses their commission. After the refund period expires, the VPN is yours to use for the full subscription term.

For the best free deal, we recommend NordVPN or ExpressVPN via TopCashback — both offer up to 100% cashback, making them completely free. NordVPN is cheaper upfront ($83 vs $150), so your cashback confirms faster. ExpressVPN is rated slightly higher for speed and streaming. Both are excellent choices.

Yes! If it's your first time using a cashback platform, you can often stack a signup bonus on top of the VPN cashback. For example, TopCashback US offers up to $25 for new members, and Rakuten currently offers $50. That means you could get a VPN for free AND earn extra cash. We factor this into our 'best combo' recommendations — look for deals where the signup bonus adds even more savings.

In some cases, cashback is calculated on the pre-tax price, so you might pay a small amount for sales tax out of pocket. Similarly, if you purchase a VPN in a different currency than your cashback platform (e.g. buying a USD-priced VPN through a UK cashback site), your bank may charge a small foreign exchange fee. Even in these edge cases, you're still saving 90-100% of the VPN cost — we're talking a few dollars at most. We always aim to match you with the best regional deal to minimise these costs.

Absolutely. TopCashback has been operating since 2005, has over 20 million members, and has paid out over $1 billion in cashback. Quidco (UK) and Rakuten (US) are similarly established and trusted platforms. Extrabux is a well-known international cashback site with millions of users, offering competitive 'Super Cash Back' rates on many VPNs. They all make money by keeping a small portion of the commission — the rest goes to you.
