60% cashback via PayPal for purchases through PrivateInternetAccess!

https://www.paypal.com - navigate to the "Deals" tab to see available offers

FYI: PayPal Gold cash back can take 60-90 days to register the purchase and show up on your account. I can confirm this works as I got an email confirmation from PayPal later in the day after purchase.

2 years PIA VPN + 2 months
  • $56.94 = $34.16 cash back = $22.78 total cost
+ PIA Antivirus
  • $91.74 = $55.04 cash back = $39.70 total cost
+ PIA Antivirus + Dedicated IP
  • $187.74 = $112.64 cash back = $75.10 total cost
Keep in mind: if you already have PIA, the time can be added to your account, but will probably need to be "merged" by customer support, which is what I did and is extremely easy. If you are purchasing the Antivirus as well, you will have to merge your old account into the newer one in order to use it as the AV login is linked only to the new account # (and apparently they can't change this). My original account PayPal info was not "updated" apparently, which may have caused it to not be added in the first place, but I can't confirm this either. Either way, the payment is still through PIA and should still be eligible for the cash back offer.

AFAIK the Dedicated IP shouldn't be an issue since you can add that on to your account at any time. Not sure though, as I didn't sign up for that (sounds pretty "meh" IMO).

Hmm, on the Exclusions link (PayPal site) it says:

"Specific Merchant Exclusions

Please note, additional exclusions may apply in addition to those listed below. Cash Back is only eligible on monthly, 1 year, and 3-year plans."


Seems like 2 year plan is excluded?

I saw that as well, but not if sure it applies. The rest of the inclusions/exclusions seem to be generic, and I couldn't see on PIA website to pick anything other than 1-mo, 6-mo, or the 2yr options.

I see a 1 year plan, but it includes 14 months free. Seems like that is the plan being talked about above? I've never used Paypal cashback, assume you just purchase this via paypal and you should be credited?

Interesting as 1yr + 14mo would be the same as 2yr + 2mo. Not sure how PayPal would see the difference, my transaction detail screen only shows the total amount. But yes, this is how I interpret their cash back program to be, which would be similar to cash back credit card offers.

The cash back credit should show up in 60-90d. I guess time will tell! Either way, if you were interested in PIA anyway, their current pricing is decent with the current discount.

What's interesting is it says 1yr + 14mo but at some point it recalculates the timeframe to 2yr + 2mo. I ended up taking the chance and pulling the trigger, will keep you guys posted. I can't imagine they would exclude this given you can't choose the other options. I took a screenshot of what I saw during checkout just in case.

What is also interesting is that I already have an existing PIA account but it used my Paypal email address which is different than the email I have an account with. Not a big deal, but just a heads-up. I'm sure you could prob merge the account if you needed to.

I used PIA for 6 years installed on a Asus router. Download speeds would start at about 100Mb for the first 30 days then they would cap me at about 50Mb for the rest of the 3 years.I know they were capping me because I purchased another 3 years on a separate account in the last month of the first account and the new account had 100Mb downloads again for the first month then they capped me again. I have tryed about a dozen different VPNs and find NordVPN to be the best for me. Nord installed on my Asus 86u gets me 250Mbs download for the past 4 months that I have used it. You can also get 80% cash back for Nord from TCB. There is another cash back site that is offering 100% cash back but I have not used that place. To find which cash back sites are offering the most cash back Google best Nord VPN cash back. Select the 5th result.

Do you have to use PayPal as the method of payment for this to work?
