God I hope this isn’t a stupid question to ask but how exactly do I send out cash? Do i need to add a return address and won’t that defeat the purpose? I really just want to try the service for 2-3 months after that I’ll probably switch over to the amazon vouchers since I don’t want to deal with monero. I think I sent out an actual physical letter maybe twice in my life and all the research I done was for sending it out internationally even though there’s a us based address AFAIK so I’m really a noob here and I appreciate any help you can provide.

Edit: Just want to apologize if this is really stupid to ask I feel like an absolute idiot right now, haha

Edit #2: Thank you all for your help think I got an understanding on what to do now

    you don’t have to provide an address … you generate a token on their site, print it out, put it in an envelope and send it with cash to them.

    they receive the cash and activate the token based on the cash provided with it

    see their faq Can I really pay with cash?

    You bet, and please! Stay anonymous all the way. Just put your cash and payment token (randomly generated on our website) in an envelope and send it to us. We accept the following currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, SEK, DKK, NOK, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD

    A letter with your return address would be nearly the same as using a credit card. Same thing with vouchers. Amazon can track that shit. If privacy is truly your main concern then NO return address and nothing other than the $ and a slip of paper with your account #. You run the risk of getting your funds “lost” in the mail etc. etc. but you gain complete anonymity this way.

    If you’re just thinking about trying it out, I don’t see a reason not to slap 1 month on your credit card and take her for a spin. If you discover that you like it, and truly want to be anonymous. Then follow the mailing steps above.

    I’ve used Mullvad for years without issue (and no I don’t care about port forwarding). +1 from me.

    Edit: I’ve been made aware that the “vouchers” on Amazon are indeed legit and are produced/sealed by Mullvad. Might be a nice way to save a few bucks!

        Woah, okay. I did not see that Mullvad posted a blog about it. Thanks for sharing, it actually cleared some questions up for me. I only saw the vouchers on Amazon randomly and didn’t do any further research as I already have my subscription paid up.

        I’m gonna be honest, my tinfoil hat still doesn’t like the idea of Amazon having possession of my Mullvad account # (scratch code or not) or knowing that I even use Mullvad… but to each their own!
