Should you buy now or wait?
The honest answer depends on which week we're in:
- Buying between Oct 21 and Nov 24: you're getting the standard Black Friday terms (78% off + 3 months in the US). If you need a VPN now — traveling, torrenting, streaming — don't wait a month to save a few dollars.
- Buying Nov 24 – Dec 1: this is the window NordVPN itself flags as the best price of the year ($2.99/mo on the Basic 2-year plan). If you can wait, this is the week.
- After Dec 9: the campaign ends and pricing returns to normal levels. There will be more deals later in the year, but not necessarily this deep.
The fine print (read before buying)
- The discount applies to the 2-year plan — that's the one with 78% off and the 3 bonus months. Shorter plans get smaller discounts.
- Renewal pricing resets. As our comparison notes, every major VPN advertises a low first-term monthly figure and charges more at renewal — NordVPN's effective rate roughly triples (per Gizmodo's Sep-2026 pricing analysis). Check the renewal price on the checkout page, not just the headline deal. Set a calendar reminder for month 23.
- Discount depth varies by country. The US gets up to 78%; the UK, Canada, and Australia get up to 77%; Japan and Poland up to 76%; Brazil and Mexico up to 75% (South Korea gets up to 80%). Prices are billed in your local currency.
- 30-day money-back guarantee applies, so you can test with your actual use case — run our leak test to confirm no IP exposure — and cancel within the window if it falls short.
FAQ
Is this the cheapest NordVPN will be all year?
Per NordVPN's own partner brief, the Nov 24 – Dec 1 week at $2.99/mo on the Basic 2-year plan is their stated best price of the year. Before that week, the 78% + 3-months offer is the standing Black Friday price. We can't verify future deals that haven't been announced — but historically, NordVPN's Black Friday price has been the floor for the year.
Do the 3 extra months apply automatically?
Yes — the brief says the extra 3 months are included with the 2-year plan during the campaign windows, applied automatically at checkout. Your subscription runs 27 months instead of 24.
Is the Basic plan enough, or should I pay more for Plus/Prime?
Basic covers the core VPN (this is the deal tier). Plus adds the password manager and tracker blocking; Prime adds identity-theft protection. If you're here for the VPN itself, Basic is the value play — especially during the best-price week.
How does this compare to Surfshark and CyberGhost?
On headline price, both are cheaper long-term — see our spec-for-spec comparison. NordVPN wins on network size and feature set; it loses on renewal pricing. This Black Friday deal is about as close as NordVPN gets to their prices.
