Title: Witopia's personalVPN At A 10% Discount
Post by: Mayo on January 17, 2009, 02:10:10 PM

Yesterday I renewed my personalVPN account for a third year. When I was in the process of paying I noticed a "coupon" field nestled among the address and payment info.  As is my habit, I performed a quickie Google search using the words "Witopia coupon" and the third "hit" had the code "shxpt" and Guess What? It still works and it knocks around $4 off the subscription fee.  So what had cost a whole $3.33/month now costs $2.99/month.

A bonus is a free VPN app for iPhones that can be installed any time during the subscription period.  And Yes, iPhones need VPN... Using an iPhone on an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot carries the same security concerns as using a computer. BTW, I contacted Witopia to inquire whether it works with an iPod Touch and they replied (speedily, as usual...) that indeed it does.

I did receive two e-mail messages from Witopia with two different prices charged, so I am assuming for now that I was charged the discount rate as the amount is not yet visible in my credit card account online.

I missed out on the sale. But now that I have it working, it is fine.

SOG, I only discovered the discount code because I almost always use Google to search for current discount codes for online purchases...
