Recurring commission builds up: customers you refer in month one keep paying while they stay subscribed. An estimate, not a promise. The program describes its terms as: "33% on new subscriptions and 24% on renewals, with up to 80% on monthly plans through some networks". Tiers, caps and refunds can change the real figure.

About the program

Private Internet Access is the VPN privacy advocates point to: open source apps, a no logs policy verified in court, a huge server network and some of the lowest long term prices in the market. It is owned by Kape Technologies and has a loyal base among technical users who distrust flashier brands.

The affiliate program pays 33 percent on new subscriptions and 24 percent on renewals and yearly plan sales, so referrals keep paying when customers renew. Through some networks such as FlexOffers, monthly plans have paid as much as 80 percent. The cookie is 30 days. PIA runs its program on TUNE with its own signup, applications are reviewed, and payouts are monthly by PayPal or wire.

The renewal share is the reason to prefer PIA over one time programs for audiences that keep VPNs for years, and technical users are exactly that audience.

PIA converts from open source VPN roundups, Linux VPN guides, torrenting and privacy content, cheapest long term VPN comparisons and reviews aimed at readers who read the privacy policy. It is less flashy than NordVPN or ExpressVPN, and that is precisely its appeal to the audience that buys it. Its port forwarding and dedicated IP add ons are worth covering for readers who need more than basic browsing.
