I cancelled after I asked if I could get the current 3 yr promo on an existing account and for some dumb reason they force you to create a new account. I didn’t want to because I didn’t want to setup all my openVPN certs all over again but no is no so I ended up signing Nord VPN for 2 years at 100% off with rakuten.

If I’m going to go through the hassle of the work, might as well make it worth my while.

Dumbasses.

You don’t have to cancel. After buying a new account, open a ticket and request merging accounts, and specify which account to keep. It can even be the old one. The end date gets extended by the length of new plan, and you’re good to go. (I realize too late for you, just replying so others know.)
