About the NordVPN Referral Program

NordVPN's refer-a-friend programme is one of the simpler ones on this site. There is no points system, no multi-step activation, and no code to copy. You click the referral link, choose any NordVPN plan, and the bonus free months are credited to your account automatically once the purchase clears.

This page contains a referral link. We receive 3 free months of NordVPN if you sign up through it, at no extra cost to you.

How to Claim Your 3 Free Months

Follow these steps to activate the referral bonus:

• Step 1: Click the referral link above — this tags your signup as a referral
• Step 2: Choose a plan — 1-year or 2-year gets you +3 free months; monthly gets you +1 free month
• Step 3: Pay directly on nordvpn.com (not via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store — those purchases don't qualify)
• Step 4: The bonus months are added to your subscription automatically — no promo code, no support ticket

Which NordVPN Plan Should You Pick?

The 2-year plan is usually the cheapest per-month rate NordVPN offers, and our referral bonus adds 3 months on top — so you effectively get 27 months for the 24-month price. The 1-year plan also gets +3 months. The monthly plan only gets +1 free month and is significantly more expensive per month, so we'd only recommend it if you genuinely need VPN access for a single month.

Whichever plan you pick, NordVPN's own seasonal discounts (often advertised at 70% or more off the monthly-equivalent rate) still apply on top of the referral bonus — the two don't cancel each other out.

Important Terms

• New NordVPN customers only — people who have held a paid NordVPN subscription before don't qualify
• Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store don't count — you must pay via nordvpn.com directly
• You must be 18 or older to take part in the referral program
• NordVPN reserves the right to change or end the refer-a-friend programme at any time
• The standard 30-day money-back guarantee still applies alongside the referral bonus

Is there a NordVPN promo code or discount code?

NordVPN runs its own seasonal discount codes (often 70% or more off the monthly-equivalent rate on longer plans), and those are applied on the NordVPN checkout page automatically when you follow any promotional link. Our referral link works slightly differently — it adds 3 free months on top of whatever plan price you see, rather than changing the percentage discount. You don't need to enter a separate NordVPN promo code, discount code, or coupon code to claim the referral bonus; clicking the link is enough.

How long does it take to get the free months?

The free months are added almost immediately. Once NordVPN confirms your payment and marks the subscription as active, the referral bonus is applied to your account automatically — you'll see your subscription end date pushed out by 3 months (or 1 month on the monthly plan) in your Nord Account dashboard. There's no waiting period and no need to contact support.

Can I use the referral bonus with an App Store subscription?

No. NordVPN's refer-a-friend terms explicitly exclude subscriptions bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. If you want the 3 free months, you need to sign up and pay directly on nordvpn.com via the referral link. You can still use the NordVPN app on iOS or Android afterwards — the restriction is only about where you make the initial purchase.

Is NordVPN safe and worth it?

NordVPN is one of the most widely used and independently audited VPN services. Its no-logs policy has been audited multiple times by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte, and it runs all of its servers in RAM-only (diskless) mode, meaning nothing is written to permanent storage. For UK users the main use cases are privacy on public Wi-Fi, accessing geo-restricted streaming libraries while travelling, and the bundled Threat Protection feature which blocks trackers and malicious sites. Whether it's worth the cost depends on how much you value those — with the referral bonus the effective monthly price on the 2-year plan is typically among the lowest for a major audited VPN.
