NordVPN
Top-tier VPN running its own affiliate program, paying up to 100% of a first-month sale and 30% on every renewal.
About the NordVPN affiliate program
NordVPN runs its affiliate program directly rather than through a network, with its own dashboard and a dedicated account manager. The published commission table is tiered by plan: a new 1-month signup pays 100% of that payment, while new 1-year and 2-year subscriptions pay 40%. Every renewal, on every plan, pays a 30% revenue share, and NordVPN describes this as lifetime rather than time-limited. The program FAQ states that cookies are dropped for 30 days, so a sale made within 30 days of the visit still attributes to you even if the customer returns directly. Registering also unlocks the rest of the Nord Security range — NordPass, NordLayer, NordLocker, Coveron, NordStellar and the Saily eSIM — under the same account. Worth reading the 100% figure carefully: it is the first payment on the cheapest monthly plan, which is also the one customers churn out of fastest, so the 40% annual tiers usually earn more per referral.
