The deal is limited to users in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada and NordVPN prices and plans differ between the regions. But let's see what's on offer where you are.
If you live in the US, you're in luck. This is where the best NordVPN deals are, and NordVPN Basic, NordVPN Plus, NordVPN Complete, and NordVPN Prime are the plans you can purchase.
Remember, all two-year plans come with an extra four months of protection for free and a 30-day money-back guarantee – but only three come with an Amazon gift card.

Next we have NordVPN Complete and it'll cost you $4.62 per month ($129.36 up front pre-tax).

American folks, NordVPN Prime is your most complete plan. It's not cheap, coming in at $6.33 per month ($177.36 up front pre-tax). This makes it one of the most expensive VPN plans out there, but you're well compensated when it comes to features.
All previously mentioned features are included, along with NordProtect. This grants you up to $1 million in ID theft insurance and up to $100k in cyber extortion insurance. There's credit and dark web monitoring, plus a dedicated case manager available to you should you need to make a claim.
If you just want a VPN, this might not be for you. But if you want total cybersecurity protection, it's a very reasonable price. Oh, and did we mention, you'll get your hands on a free $50 Amazon gift card.
NordVPN Basic is the plan to go for if you simply want a class-leading VPN and no extra features. 28 months of protection works out at $2.91 per month ($81.36 up front pre-tax) but there's no Amazon gift card.

This Is Why Amazon Stock (AMZN) May Struggle in the Near-Term
Tech giant Amazon (AMZN) has been under pressure ever since its earnings report last week. This is because analysts are beginning to worry about its position in the AI market, especially in its cloud business, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Although the company's recent earnings met expectations, AWS revenue grew by 17.5% year-over-year to $30.9 billion, which is a pace that has stayed about the same for several quarters. Meanwhile, Microsoft's (MSFT) Azure cloud grew 26% to $29.9 billion, and Google (GOOG) Cloud jumped 32% to $13.6 billion. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Unsurprisingly, analysts say that Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI is a major reason for its faster growth in AI cloud services. Indeed, four-star analyst Tom Forte from Maxim Group explained that Amazon's investment in Anthropic, a smaller competitor to OpenAI, hasn't had the same impact yet. Nevertheless, five-star analyst Brad Erickson from RBC Capital thinks that Amazon's Bedrock platform, which offers several AI models instead of just one, could attract more developers who prefer flexibility. This could help Amazon over time, but analysts warn that the benefits aren't showing up in its results yet. It is also worth noting that Amazon is spending heavily to catch up. In fact, it invested $31 billion in the second quarter, up from $24.3 billion in the first, to build AI chips, data centers, and other infrastructure. Even so, CEO Andy Jassy admitted that AWS is facing power shortages and server production delays. In addition, analysts added that many customers are only testing AI tools right now instead of fully using them, which is leading to slower revenue growth. As a result, while experts are positive about Amazon's long-term strategy, they say the company needs to prove that these big investments will boost AWS growth back toward 20%. Otherwise, its stock could stay under pressure. What Is the Price Target for AMZN Stock? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on Amazon stock based on 43 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months. Furthermore, the average AMZN stock price target of $264.21 per share implies 23.4% upside potential from current levels.

For the first time, OpenAI models are available on AWS
Sam Altman's blowtorch to his competitors is so hot, it even includes a new partnership with Amazon Web Services. As OpenAI announced two open-weight reasoning models with capabilities on par with its o-series, Amazon announced that the new models would become available on AWS on Tuesday. This is the first time that OpenAI models will be offered by AWS, the company confirmed to TechCrunch. They will be available as a model choice with Amazon AI services Bedrock and SageMaker AI. While anyone can download the models via Hugging Face, Amazon is offering these models with OpenAI's full knowledge and approval, as Dmitry Pimenov, the model maker's product lead, indicated in the announcement. A spokesperson described the offering as similar to how Amazon offered open model DeepSeek-R1 earlier this year. This is a juicy competitive move for both companies. For AWS, it finally puts the cloud giant in the same sentence as the biggest model maker, OpenAI. Until now, AWS has best been known as a major host and a financial backer of Anthropic's Claude, one of OpenAI's biggest competitors. AWS offers Claude, along with other models from makers such as Cohere, DeepSeek, Meta, and Mistral, as well as its own home-grown ones in its AI services. Specifically, Bedrock allows AWS customers to build and host generative AI apps using models of their choice. SageMaker, on the other hand, allows AWS customers to train, or even build, their own AI models largely for analytics uses. While AWS's ultimate rival, Microsoft, hasn't had a lock on OpenAI models since January, Azure is still OpenAI's most significant cloud partner to date. OpenAI even announced that Microsoft is offering versions of these two new models, too, optimized for Windows devices. Watching Microsoft win an increasing amount of cloud business with OpenAI has been a public pain in Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's neck. Just last week during Amazon's quarterly earnings call, Jassy was pounded with questions from Wall Street analysts about how the company was losing ground in AI to competitors, particularly Microsoft. For instance, JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth asked Jassy to explain 'significantly faster cloud growth among the number two and number three players in the space,' referring to Microsoft and Google. Later, Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak told Jassy that Wall Street thinks 'AWS is falling behind in GenAI with concerns about share loss, peers, etc.' Jassy responded with a minutes-long diatribe that included this barb at Redmond: 'I think the second player is about 65% of the size of the AWS.'Meanwhile, another AWS competitor, Oracle, reported that it signed a $30 billion a year deal with OpenAI to offer data center services. This means that OpenAI plans to pay Oracle more each year than all of its other cloud services customers combined. Until now, AWS had been left out of any OpenAI-related glory. As for how such a move with AWS benefits OpenAI: The AI provider's relationship with Microsoft is notoriously strained, as the two are reportedly renegotiating their long-term partnership deal. What better way for OpenAI to strengthen its position than to cozy up the biggest cloud provider, even if, initially, on a small scale? In addition, this partnership allows swaths of AWS enterprise customers to easily experiment with using OpenAI models with their hosted AI apps. Meanwhile Altman gets to undercut Meta's Mark Zuckerberg with this move as well. As OpenAI releases these two high-performing models under an Apache 2.0 open source license, Meta recently admitted that it probably won't continue to open source all of its upcoming 'superintelligence' models. 登入存取你的投資組合
