I paid £98 for two years with Nord and no complaints from me.

You should have gone via Topcashback and got 100% cashback. You still have to pay the tax but it's a lot less than £98. 

When was that? Took mine out last year (back end of) & pretty sure I went via TCB. Offer wasn't that good though.

You do/did have to be a plus member for that rate.

My Nord is due to auto-renew on 1/9/25, so I cancelled auto renewal.

They wanted £140 for one year, whereas new users are offered 2 years for about £50, so presumably I can rejoin after it expires?

I tend to just sign up with a new email each time mine expires to get the best deal

Check card offers and sites like TCB.  Managed to get 95%  via TCB  cashback and 10% via Amex,  ended up making a small profit out of having Nord for 2 years.
Try to be a place like Jersey when you renew as saves the VAT.

I ended up with Nord having signed up with Atlas VPN for a 3 year deal plus 6 months free about 2 years ago. Cost was a one off 50 euros I think? Nord later absorbed Atlas and  honoured the continuing deal.  Furthermore, am I not right in thinking that Nord from time to time allow existing users to exploit open promotional deals long before expiry of existing, and will simply add the new deal to the end of the existing period?

Indeed checkout Google's AI oversight of the subject by searching for "will nord vpn will extend existing period with new promotional offers?"

I've used Avast free antivirus for many years which I have always been happy with, and their PC app always pushes a 3 month "free" Gold trial in the top corner which includes a fully featured VPN amongst some other (surprisingly good and effective) PC speedup and space recovery tools.

About 18 months ago I decided to try it. But to avoid getting stung I used my Revolut, 1-time disposable credit card number to register.

About 3 weeks from the end of the trial (as per the boilerplate free trial playbook). I get an e-mail warinng out of the blue that the £139 payment for the next years' subscription renewal has failed (I wonder why) , along with all the scary risks of losing the additional features. 

I let it run for the the 3 weeks or so unitil it expires upon which it falls back to the free version. Then then offer me another 3 month gold trial about a day later which I sign up for again using another disposable credit card number.

I'm on my 6th consecutive 3 month free trial now.
