Like the US and Canada, eligible subscribers will receive their gift card between 31 and 50 days after the relevant plan has been purchased. All NordVPN plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee. But if you do decide to claim a refund, you won't receive your voucher. If you're looking for an all-round top-tier VPN experience, then NordVPN is well worth your time. Accessing content from your favorite streaming service – that isn't available in your country – is an ideal use for a VPN, and NordVPN is one of the best streaming VPNs out there. In our testing, it successfully unblocked the likes of US Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, and 10Play. As well as this, its super fast speeds of over 950 Mbps means it'll rarely slow you down and makes its one of the fastest VPNs. NordVPN's apps are clean and fairly easy-to-use. They might take a bit of getting used to if you're a beginner, and its map-based UI can be a little fiddly on mobile, but it won't take long to get the hang of. Apps are available to download on all major devices and platforms, and it's possible to protect up to 10 devices on one plan. NordVPN has recently rolled out post-quantum encryption support across all platforms, so you know your devices and data are getting the best protection possible. With NordVPN Plus, you'll get the ad, malware, and tracker blocker Threat Protection Pro. It has been voted as the best VPN malware protection and we also consider it the best threat protection feature offered by a VPN provider. To help secure your accounts, NordVPN Plus also comes with NordPass – one of the best password managers. If any of you Aussies are looking for encrypted cloud storage, you'll get 1TB of it with NordVPN Complete – as well as everything else mentioned. For UK users, NordVPN Ultimate includes all these features plus up to £5,000 in cyber insurance. This is designed to aid with scam loss and ID theft recovery. This isn't quite as much as the $1 million included with NordVPN Prime, thanks to NordProtect, but this is only available to US-based NordVPN subscribers. NordVPN Plus: get a free $20 Amazon gift cardDon't forget, free gift cards are also avaialble in the US and Canada. NordVPN Plus is the cheapest deal available and it's our #1 rated VPN.

NordVPN introduces ID theft recovery for UK users – just as cyberattacks hit UK retailers
(Image credit: NordProtect) NordVPN has introduced ID theft recovery coverage for UK users, with up to £5,000 available for recovery reimbursement. The cybersecurity protection offered by NordVPN is one of the reasons it tops our best VPN list, and this insurance benefit is available to subscribers to the NordVPN Ultimate plan – which works out at £5.09 per month (£137.43 up front) for those in the UK. This release is timely as UK retailers M&S, Harrods, and Co-op suffered cyberattacks and the personal data of customers was accessed. You may like Theft recovery joins scam protection ID theft recovery coverage joins the scam loss recovery protection already offered by NordVPN. The new tool provides reimbursement for expenses incurred while attempting to restore your identity. Credit rating, e-money accounts, bank accounts, mortgages, and loans are all elements that can be protected. ID theft recovery can help clear your name of any wrongdoing (should hackers use your identity maliciously), as well as prevent further fraud. If you've had to take any time of work to dedicate time to ID theft recovery, you can claim back any lost wages. (Image credit: Getty Images) Scam loss recovery is designed for those who have mistakenly transferred money to scammers. Fraudulent emails and text messages are common knowledge, but newer scams, such as AI deepfakes or romance scams, are becoming increasingly popular and their risk should be highlighted. With NordVPN, If you do fall victim to a scam or ID theft, you have 12 months to reclaim up to £5,000 should your bank be unable to help. Affected customers can access these services 24/7 and they're available to those in the UK, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Germany, and Italy. Is it worth upgrading? Cyberattacks and scams are an unfortunate part of modern society and the recent attacks on UK retailers shows that anyone can be affected. Following good online practices such as generating strong, unique passwords and ensuring links are genuine can go a long way to protecting yourself, but you can still become a victim – even if it's not your fault. The Co-op, one of the UK retailers hit by a cyber attack, said a "significant number" have had their data breached by hackers. Incidents like this highlight the importance of ID theft recovery tools. But is it worth upgrading? For UK users, NordVPN Ultimate works out at £5.09 per month, compared to £2.39 per month for NordVPN Basic. In the US, it's $6.99 per month for NordVPN Prime and $3.09 for NordVPN Basic. (Image credit: NordProtect) Although £5,000 is a lot of money, it may be hard to justify the price increase – especially when compared to the US offering. For those in the US, protection is provided by NordProtect. It is included in the NordVPN Prime plan or can be purchased as a standalone product. ID theft, cyber extortion, and online fraud are just some of what is covered and up to $1 million in cyber insurance is available. A lot more is offered here compared to the UK plan, so it's easier to justify. If you can afford the extra cost per month, the upgrade is probably worth it if you want additional peace of mind. Either way, though, educating yourself and others on good cybersecurity behavior is crucial if you want to protect your data.
