Shopping Prime Day on 26 June? Grab this affordable VPN to protect your data—and score a free Amazon gift card while you're at it.
Amazon Prime Day has just been announced which makes it a very good time to bag a free Amazon gift card while you still can.
We've had an exclusive Surfshark deal running on TechRadar for just over a week now but it ends tonight. You get a free Amazon gift card when you sign up to any of the two-year plans.
Surfshark Starter gets you $10, One gives $20, and One+ $30, and it's same denomination in pounds if you're in the UK.
Plans start from only $1.99 per month but do beware that the deal ends tonight and we're not likely to see anything like this from Surfshark until Black Friday 2026 at the very earliest.
Of the three Surfshark price plans, I recommend Surfshark One for $2.49 per month. That's $67.23 upfront but you get the $20 gift card against that, so it's effectively more like $47.23.
Compare that to the lower tier Starter plan which is $1.99 per month, $53.73 up front but only a $10 gift card. So, only a few dollars less than One at an effective $43.73 but without all of the best features.
How to get a free Amazon gift card
EXCLUSIVE Surfshark deal: get up to $30 in free Amazon gift cards
Secure your connection and treat yourself on Amazon with this exclusive Surfshark offer. Plans start from just $1.99/month ($53.73 total), with 3 months extra included and up to $30 in free Amazon gift cards. For the best value, a One plan ($67.23) includes:
🎁$20 Amazon gift card
📱 Unlimited simultaneous connections
🦠 Surfshark Antivirus
👤 Alternative ID (email and identity aliasing)
🚨 Alert (personal data, credit card, and ID leak alerts)
⛔ Web content blocking
📧 Email scam protection
🔎 Secure search engine
All plans also come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. So if you're unhappy, you get your money back.
What I particularly like about the One plan are the data security tools that I think are really useful for sales times, like Prime Day, and beyond.
You can use Alternative ID so that you don't have to register with any shops and services with your real email address and Alerts let's you know if any of your data is compromised, including credit cards and ID.
There's also web content blocking, and a secure search engine free of ads and trackers.
Prime Day runs from June 23 – 26. Surfshark is a great option to look after your ID and data during this time and beyond but take a look at our other best cheap VPNs for more choice if you want to shop around.
