After weeks of speculation, the highly coveted cash rewards are returning to the Playstation StarsThe program is back. Reports indicate that users can once again use the redemption option, which has reappeared in the PlayStation App. We were also able to confirm the reward in our own app. This comes after the option was removed over a month ago without explanation.
Criticism of the PlayStation Stars program
During this period, PlayStation Stars users had to use their hard-earned points either for full games or digital collectibles. The sudden absence of cash rewards caused frustration and speculation. Whether the removal was planned or due to a technical error remains unclear. It is equally unclear whether the return of the reward is due to user feedback or other factors.
The return of the 5 Euro option The community welcomes the change, while other previous redemption options, such as €10 or €20, seem to have returned rather arbitrarily based on user feedback. The €5 option was the most popular anyway, as it was the quickest to reach with 1.250 PlayStation Stars points. The reason for the limited selection is unclear, which is causing mixed feelings among some users. It remains to be seen whether Sony will add further updates or additional rewards.
For PlayStation Stars members who want to save and strategically use their points, the return of cash rewards at least offers a practical way to redeem their accumulated points. But the question remains: Is this a permanent comeback or just a temporary offer? Sony remains silent – and fans are speculating.
Collect PlayStation Plus points – here's how still
Sony had also announced that PlayStation Stars points would no longer be awarded for subscription renewals. PlayStation Plus would give. But this obstacle can be circumvented with a clever trick: Anyone who first tops up their PSN balance with the amount of the desired PlayStation Plus subscription and then uses this balance to renew will still receive PlayStation Stars points.
The reason? This method is apparently treated as a regular purchase and not a subscription renewal. This creates a kind of loophole that allows users to continue collecting points despite Sony's restrictions.
For PlayStation fans who want to get the most out of their Stars program, it's worth trying this workaround. This way, they can extend their subscription and simultaneously earn valuable points for future rewards. Whether Sony will close this loophole in the future remains to be seen – until then, take advantage of it and start scoring!
100€ PlayStation Store Gift Card
Only valid and functional with a German PlayStation Network (PSN) account
Important notes: This is a User-generated post, which was reviewed and published by the editorial team.
So I have the €5 and €10 options to choose from, but currently I only have 800pk.
It gets even better if you top up your balance via Eneba.
I recently topped up my account with €250 for €184.
There are currently no offers available, but anyone who wants to can top up their account with €200 for €169 or €180 including a processing fee.
I was just able to convert my almost 3.000 points into €10. It worked perfectly.
The "function" was never hidden for me, but when redeeming points for credit, the same error message appears every time: "something went wrong."
But I can confirm that I received an extra 945 points when I renewed my PS Plus subscription.
