NordVPN’s Black Friday sale is live, and the plan with the biggest discount happens to be the one built for the month ahead. Between now and Cyber Monday, you’ll type your card number into more checkout pages than at any other time of the year. Scammers plan for that too.
Last holiday season, the security firm CloudSEK found more than 2,000 fake online stores dressed up as Amazon and other big brands, complete with countdown timers, low-stock warnings, and fake trust badges.
The Complete plan adds a scam-catching layer on top of the VPN, and right now it’s $3.99 a month, 78% off, with three extra months included. You pay $107.73 for 27 months instead of $493.83, a $386.10 saving, and you don’t need a coupon code. Here’s the full Black Friday price list:
- Basic: $3.49 per month, 69% off + 3 extra months ($94.23 for 27 months)
- Complete: $3.99 per month, 78% off + 3 extra months ($107.73 for 27 months)
- Prime: $6.99 per month, 71% off + 3 extra months ($188.73 for 27 months)
Fake Store, Fake Text, Fake Charge: Can One App Catch All Three?
Short answer: yes. The Complete plan has a tool for each of the classic holiday scams:
- The too-good-to-be-true store. NordVPN’s next-gen antivirus includes phishing detection and scam protection, which block known scam sites. A fake checkout page doesn’t get the chance to ask for your card.
- The “your package is delayed” text. Call and message protection flags likely scam calls and texts on your phone, including the fake delivery notices that show up once you’ve placed a few orders.
- The charge you don’t recognize. The new bank transaction monitoring watches linked US bank accounts and alerts you to duplicate charges, unusual amounts, and payments to first-time receivers.
You also get the VPN itself for public Wi-Fi when you’re shopping from an airport gate over Thanksgiving, plus ad and tracker blocking, the NordPass password manager, and 1TB of encrypted cloud storage.
Will You Still Need It After the Holidays?
Here’s the fun part: the 27-month term lasts until early 2029, so one purchase covers three Black Fridays, this one included. The scam alerts keep working the rest of the year, and the VPN handles streaming and travel the same as before.
If your data has already turned up in a breach, the Prime plan adds Coveron identity protection for $3 more a month. For most shoppers, the Complete plan is the sweet spot.
Set It Up Before the Doorbusters
The scam tools work best when they’re ready before you start shopping, so give it ten minutes this week:
- Install NordVPN on your laptop and phone, then sign in on both.
- Enable call and message protection on your phone and grant the permissions it requires.
- Link your bank account to transaction monitoring. It reviews your past year of transactions to learn what normal spending looks like, so a weekend of odd charges stands out.
On your laptop, enable next-gen antivirus in the NordVPN app, and the scam-site blocking and ad blocker come with it. I’d rather pay $3.99 a month than spend December on the phone with my bank.
Every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test it through the whole shopping weekend. The discount is live now, and you don’t have to wait until November 27 to claim it.
