Did they give you the code right away? I used PayPal on the other two and they are both "pending" despite having taken the money from my PayPal account.

Yeah, I was able to nab a PS Now card for my friend using Sony Reward. Everything checked out. I'd say renew it at the end of May, considering that Japan is supposed to launch around June 1st I believe so better to do it a bit early in case Sony pulls some type of shenanigans leading up to launch.
Are people here all from Asian market? Otherwise I don't get everyone getting only ONE month of PS Now, by the time the new Plus system will be unlocked everywhere else
[May 23 in Asian markets excluding Japan
June 1 in Japan
June 13 in the Americas
and June 22 in Europe]
the PS Now month will be over and the system will only read the stacked PS Plus so there won't be any conversion.
p.s. holding the month of Now to redeem it in May seems risky to me, I suspect Sony will disable the PS Now redeeming in these days, just like is apparently happening with PS Plus cards.

Well that's the point I'd imagine. Works similarly to government, insurance, ... not telling you about everything what you could get, because that limits how many people take advantage of it. For example in Germany you can get a education for a new job funded by the government (for example), if you had an accident or severe illness and you can't do your old job anymore because of that. But don't expect anyone to tell you about it.

They've already deactivated purchases of new PS Now cards in stores. I feel if you purchased the card any time before that or you were able to get a hold of an active card you should be okay. Either that or they'll issue another statement.
Great. I've already got PS+ until next Feb but if I get a 12 month PS Now sub then I'll get the premium tier until the end of the PS Now subscription?
Yes, because your PS Now sub will end in April and is longer.
It doesn't sound it's worth the hassle in your case for just two months of Premium for free, considering that you will not pay that 12 months of Now more then 60€/$ (that most likely would be the upgrade price by being already a PS Plus member).
P.s. you are holding the code too? Yeah , I wouldn't do that at this point, just wait for the upgrade plan, same money and less risk.
Ok I am in the same boat as y'all. Seems like there is no further action needed by us, sweet.
I don't know if I'm misunderstanding but are you saying that existing PS+ memberships transfer over to the premium tier anyway?
No, I'm saying that for people with Plus alone there will be an upgrade plan to other new Plus tier, and if Sony is sane they will ask 60€/$ for upgrading to Premium (Plus Essential cost 60 and Premium 120, so it would make sense).
Since you only have one year of Plus, the year of Now will overleap your Plus only by few months if you even find and active a one year PS Now card for similar price right now, with the risk of the code not working or some other stuff as well for ending paying most certainly the same price of an official upgrade.
Just wanted to give you all the info, than do what you feel, since there is no official upgrade plan price yet (the plan is confirmed tho), but that's what I think will happen, not a guarantee :)
Ah, ok thanks. I was gonna hold off until the end of May anyway but hopefully there'll be a clear upgrade plan announcement by then.
Yep, well within 1 minute. It asked for an email to send the code to, but I clicked to reveal it on the site and could then just copy/paste it into redeem codes on psn website.
Thanks for this - just did it myself, seemed to work fine. £19 paying by Paypal.
Now I'm set to 2025. ^^
Tried the same, but didn't find anything online. If anyone has found something it would be great if that could be shared here. I will try to find something in some stores at the weekend. Will let you know if I find anything.
Pretty much.
I get being skeptical, but if we just go by what's written, it shouldn't be complicated. Also this:
I always thought it was strange Sony doesn't cap how much your can stack and MS does.
Disclaimer: I've never used that retailer. You might wanna do a quick bit of research first to check if they're legit.
Anyone else not been able to turn auto renew off? Comes up error to try again later. Been happen since yesterday.
Yeah, it's the only site that have them for a lot of countries and have it a low price, pop it from nowhere and has no reviews on allkeyshop, I wouldn't trust it personally.
p.s. I tried to add it do the cart but they are out of stock so yeah, maybe it was legit (I still highly doubt it) but you can't buy it anyway, so...

Got it sorted. Thank you! Now to try and get my money back from the other places, or wait for codes that I don't need…
Thanks for the link, but sadly it seems they are also out of stock.
A lot of sites are actually still showing these items, but as soon as you want to add them to the cart or check out they will tell you that they are out of stock...
Yes you can 🤨
Edit: Oh you mean anymore because of the transition?
PS Plus cards can't be redeemed worldwide for now, dunno if it's a bug.
Looks like it's a pay the difference situation rather than getting a discounted option judging by the email I got yesterday.
I've given up on finding one.
I just hope the upgrade path is not too costly, or they let you move between tiers monthly. I don't really need premium every month.
Trying to find a Canadian PS NOW code but no luck at all, brutal. I didn't think it was actually going to work this way.
In UK, got a 3 month NOW code from Eneba for £19, as did several others here it looks like. Delivered instantly, redeemed on web store no problem, woohoo!
My PS+ is good until mid 2024 thanks to Black Fridays and Days of Play sales etc., will def add a couple more years if the code redeeming comes back online in time but if not oh well I'm happy enough with this great deal.

Yeah I get the same. I'll just check back periodically and set a reminder for closer to the time just in case.
Just bought and redeemed a 3 month card from Sony Rewards if anyone is still looking. I only had 100 rewards points, but you can use a Credit Card to pay the remainder. It's full price, but hey, it's fast and reliable.
Also, had the hardest time finding the damn thing. I had to log in, click on "Points", click "Add Item" to wish list, search for "NOW", add the 3-month card to my wish list....and then I could add to cart and buy. So weird.
I have the same thing. My guess is the system is frozen for now, and once the two merge we'll have to turn off auto-renewal for PS Plus Premium

Same. Spoke to Sony they say voucher has not been activated. Spoke to cdkeys they say Sony is having issues and to try later. Tried on console instead of web and says code is already used. Uuurrgghh.
yeah... although it would be nice to have PS+ and Now stacked for a couple of years, there will surely be special offers around Black Friday, Christmas etc.
So as it is now, there is basically no need ever to pay full price for the services.
Still more than via this upgrade deal, but 🤷♂️
Similar experience atm with the two supports handing me off between each other like a hot potato
Yeah, and the difference for Plus holder is (in theory) 60€.
Essential = 60€
Premium = 120€
If you find a 12 months of Now for cheap I guess is worth a try (without taking in consideration scam or codes getting blocked) to save few money, but you could buy gift card as well to save some money and add them to your account to pay the upgrade.
Again, all of this if the difference will be calculated based on the annual prices of the new Plus services.
How are people stacking PS Plus itself? I can't buy the 12 Month membership from the store, it says I've already purchased when adding to cart. I thought you could buy as many years as you wanted?
Do you have to get codes to redeem from elsewhere like CDKeys?

When I need to start paying full price I'll just make a habit of asking for PSN vouchers for my birthday - I never know what to tell people to get me anyway!
Pretty sure you can normally stack. I got PSN vouchers for my birthday last year and added a couple of years because there was nothing else I wanted at the time.
We at least there are two of us going through support with the same issue. Hopefully more are and gathers some traction with one of them. My ps now voucher off eneba worked fine.
I don't think anybody has successfully redeem a PS+ voucher since last night. Definitely an issue on Sony's end atm.
Tried to buy PS Now cards at Shopper's Drug Mart yesterday and they were unable to activate them. FML.
This has been known for a while. Physical cards in stores have not worked for weeks.
I guess they dont see a ton of people doing it causing an impact I guess but also seems to me they care more about people just being on their service than worrying about capping it I guess? Good for people who spend a lot up front though.
So my PSNow expires on 6/2 and Plus in November. I assume they won't auto renew the Now, so if the service starts after 6/2 am I screwed?
