Not really a nett 90% if you include GST and ShopBack conversion rate. Cost ~128 sgd with cashback ~104 sgd, so all in all it’s about 24 sgd for 2 years+

Just sign up with 90% shopback link via desktop and paid with Google Pay @ usd 95.23. Next renewal date 27th Feb 2023.

Let's see whether Shopback really cashback 90% or not.

Sent from Samsung SM-G965F using GAGT


Yes! The cashback was tracked with "pending" status and $103.99 will be available by 11th Feb 2021.

Not sure how did they calculate 90% cashback. I paid USD 95.23 so 90% will be USD 85.707. Divide 103.99 by 85.707, the x-rate was 1.213 which is not right.

Assuming cashback was based on USD 89 and 90% of it will be USD 80.1. Divide 103.99 by 80.1, the x-rate was 1.298 which is "some how" closer to the market rate of 1.34.

NordVPN is better than PureVPN ?

Haha of course. I am a purevpn user myself.

purevpn advertised that they worked in China (to bypass GFW) and they also claimed to have China servers for bypassing China geo blocked contents. However both did not work even after I contacted them and got a few alternative servers.

Later I paid for AJS for China geo blocked contents.

Technical support is not bad. Speed is so so. I do not use Netflix so I do not test Netflix.

I am not sure why I cannot seem to get my payments through on Nord. Every payment method I tried using will have this error "Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again or choose a different payment method."

Anybody facing the same issues?

Thanks!
