How to Get PIA Free Trial - Try it Risk-Free for 30-Days

Private Internet Access (PIA) doesn’t offer a free trial, but it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Customer service only asks a minimal amount of questions when you request a refund too, which cuts down the annoyance factor of asking for your money back - though there are a lot of great reasons to keep the service that I’ll get into a bit later.

Step By Step Instructions for Getting A Free Trial of PIA

1. Go to Private Internet Access’s website and click on Pricing, when the new window appears hit the orange Select Plan button for the pricing option you want.
2. Choose your payment method and fill out the required fields, then click the orange Pay Now button.
3. Once the payment has processed you’ll see a Welcome screen that lets you know an email has been sent to your address on file, that contains your username and password.In that same window you will see the option to download PIA for the device you used to purchase your account. If you’re doing this via mobile device, find PIA in your app store and click to install it. I chose Download 64-bit for Windows.
4. On the next screen you’ll see the download file toward the bottom of the screen in the lower left hand corner. Once it’s complete, press the menu arrow and select Open.
5. Log into the email you used to create your PIA account and retrieve your Username and Password.
6. Use the PIA app of your choice to log in using the information. I went to Subscription Overview under Account and turned off Auto Renewal right away. While you don’t need to do this, it isn’t a bad idea. That way, you don’t miss the window for the money-back guarantee.
7.  That’s it. Connect to the server of your choice and remember to cancel PIA via customer support before the 30-day money-back guarantee expires. That is, if you still want to cancel after trying the service.

FAQs

Does PIA have a referral option?

Yes. Access your account and click on Subscription Overview, then scroll down the page until you see a green banner with a white Refer A Friend button.

Click on the button to refer a friend, and if they sign up, you could both get 30-days free.

Can I use PIA on multiple devices?

Yes. Private Internet Access allows you to install the service on as many devices as you’d like.

Bottom Line

PIA stands out among the majority of VPNs by actively encouraging users to try their service and confidently offering a money-back guarantee.

With 30-days you can access any service you use regularly, test it on all of your devices, and even just protect your privacy while on vacation. If you don’t love it, ask for a refund within the window and try another service.
