Nord VPN renewal
-
I’ve just recieved my renewal notice from Nord VPN as below
You could’t make this up. You want to charge me £116.28 plus £23.26 additional tax* (£139.54 in total) for the 1-year plan of NordVPN if I simply let nature take its course - yet if I check your website, I can instantly beat that deal with a 2 year plan?
WTF Nord?
Now, Nord VPN is the only VPN product I actually trust, and actively recommend to others, but come on guys. Why send me an email like this when I’ve been a paying customer for years, and typically always go for the two year plan??
Is it just me, or is this a senseless approach?
@phenomlab absolute madness, no way to entice current customers to stay. It’s striking up a fine balance between rewarding loyalty and offering decent deals to new customers.

@JAC exactly that. Not much of an incentive in my view. Just as well that I trust their product suite and know I can get a sizable discount just by taking a specific route.
If someone not so familiar with that route received a renewal email, they’d end up paying over the top which seems unfair to me and not in the good spirit of rewarding loyalty.

@JAC Interesting.

@phenomlab Certainly, I have had no issues with Proton and their suite of products, I know you wasn’t too keen last time using their VPN.
Once you love and trust a product and get the feel for it it’s probably not easy to be swayed, as you’ve said above you’ve renewed with Nord, now out of the VPNs I’ve used I’d probably go back to Nord before I’d go back to Express VPN, Surfshark etc.

I think there’s a deal for Surfshark on there too

@JAC thanks. The link is fine because you do not directly benefit from it, so it’s fine to post.

I signed up to Nord yesterday. Varied results when testing against Proton but I found Nord to be slower.
Tested on mobile & Android TV (Nvidia Shield).

Really? Not my experience at all.

@phenomlab yes, not much slower so you wouldn’t notice but tests results show otherwise.

@JAC is this with a speed test? They aren’t really a good indicator of actual speed unless you use one specifically designed for that purpose.
Most allow a simple upload and download, but the below site is the most accurate

I have used Nord VPN and I really liked it. It did a great job and I never had any issues with it. I should really purchase something like this as well. I liked Proton too, but they are too expensive. I should purchase Nord VPN again and put it on my router, then all the devices will be covered while at home. Then install it on the devices that leave the home for use in those moments.

@Madchatthew I use Proton as well but I find a lot of sites block their IPs.
I’ve been running Nord for probably just over a week now and I’ve not had an issue.

@JAC That is good to know. When I am able to get a VPN I will most likely go with NordVPN. I have used them before and never had any issues with them.

@Madchatthew I’m still using them. Good service in general, however, I have noticed recently
- Increased CAPTCHA challenges when behind the proxy addresses
- YouTube videos increasingly refusing to play unless you login
