The holidays have come and gone. Many of us are glad to have quiet homes again and to have all the clutter and decorations tucked away. Now, the only thing left to contend with is the gift cards we received from people who perhaps don’t know us very well. We all wind up with gift cards we’re not really keen on the idea of using. Restaurant gift cards don’t do well for those of us who vowed to make better dietary choices in the new year, and gift cards for winter wear aren’t helpful for people who live in warmer climates. Some of us get gift cards seemingly at random – what good would a golf store gift card do for a hockey fan?
Good news! You can use those gift cards to keep yourself safe online with TorGuard VPN service. It doesn’t necessarily matter what the gift card is for – we accept gift cards for over 60 retailers. There’s a bigger bonus than using up a gift card you might not have otherwise wanted – a new layer of anonymity and privacy is added when you opt to use a gift card to pay for TorGuard.
Why Should I Use a Gift Card for VPN Service?
Using a gift card to pay for VPN service is more appealing than just saving money or finding a purpose for a present you weren’t too fond of. It keeps your VPN use anonymous on another level – you won’t ever be billed for it on an account in your name. All gift cards are anonymous, and anyone looking at your bank statement or financial information wouldn’t see that charges for a VPN service have been made.
This is a very convenient workaround for people who live in countries where VPN use is frowned upon, or even illegal. Gift cards aren’t typically illegal, and they’re easy to purchase. Even if you haven’t received a gift card you don’t want, you can easily purchase a gift card you don’t want and use it to pay for VPN services via Paygarden.
What is Paygarden?
During the TorGuard checkout process, select “Gift Card” as your payment method, and then select PayGarden. PayGarden is a third party company that converts gift card currency to free and available currency that can be used to purchase anything at participating retailers and service providers. TorGuard will utilize your gift card balance as invoice credits.
