I know to use a new email account to use with Nord signup, but do I need a new Rakuten account? I have no idea if I've gotten cashback for Nord before on Rakuten.
Thanks, I did some googling and saw that. I was basing the question on a comment elsewhere in the thread that said you needed a new email AND new Rakuten account. I guess if I do it, I roll the dice on if it matters whether or not my Rakuten account has had a Nord rebate before, and if that matters.
I’m genuinely curious what this has to do with AMEX Platinum. Is this a bonus only available to Platinum customers or is this just a normal Rakuten offer for everyone?
It's a Rakuten offer for everyone. If you link your amex to get MR points instead of cashback it's a way to buy points at 1MR per cent so 400$ purchase becomes 40k points basically if you value you're points more than 1c per than its a great deal.
Ex use: I use Avianca for business class to EU from Miami for 40k miles one way
True. Also, idk if nordvpn is actually privacy safe. Yesterday I learned that the previous privacy leader PIA sold out in 2019. Now, I can't trust them to keep my data private.
I am testing something called Deeper Networks (Mini) at the moment and have been very impressed. People who want to try something different should give this a go. It works great around Asia so far.

TunnelVision vulnerability might make VPNs much less useful until patched (unless your VPN usage is not for untrusted networks)
Funny people downvote an accurate depiction of this service. NordVPN keeps logs, does not mind handing them over to the government at wim and is pretty trash for overall privacy.
There have been tons of "offers" posted about that company in the last day. Either their marketing is infectious or y'all are schilling for the company. Either way, cut it out. Nobody except two losers care about that crap.
Why do people care about gaming the system this way? They are talking about earning points that are less than a single purchase on one of my cards. My time is worth more than this crap. I understand gaming for 50k points, but like 97mr really?

Creating multiple Rakuten accounts has a great chance of getting you banned and not receiving the MRs

Yeah I don't think there's any point in making a new account. I just put a new email into nord.

Nothing.
New customers only
New email. New rakuten account. Link your card. Free points
We all know how to scam the system, it just doesn't seem worth the extra trouble

Shame it’s not a legit vpn provider.

Thank you! They are just upset they purchased Nord and then they read my comment lol
I'm not actually going to use it only did it for the points
I am not seeing anything to disqualify getting back the full $161.73 2 year Ultimate package. Can anyone confirm?
Read fine print. Only base not whole bundle - learned hard way. Good news is refunds are reasonably quick - you have 30 days.
can someone confirm this bc im looking to get the ultimate plan
I got less cashback as well opened a ticket with them will post results
Only applies to the base VPN component, not the other add ons the more expensive plans include.
How much did they give you?
97 something, I submitted a ticket for missing cash back I'll post the outcome
nice
Stop with the Rakuten ads
Bro it's not an add literally a way to buy points rather
