Ever since PlayStation stars went down and rebooted with the new terms, the option has not been there for me which makes the program completely useless because who the fuck wants some digital collectibles.

No more gift cards as rewards on Playstation Stars?

My exact response, who cares about random digital garbage. People want to spend their rewards on games they’re interested in.

I also only have a $10 option now.
I just exchanged 2500 points for $10 on Friday to pick something up in the Black Friday sale.

No store credit options on mine anymore either. The program is useless without them.

I refuse to download the app again until we can get some kind of confirmation from Sony about this issue. I'm in the US and the options were gone for me, but apparently some people are still able to get the credit.

I'm in the UK and that third row isn't an option on mine for wallet funds.I'm from the UK and it's still there
I always used to save mine and redeem for a £20 store credit.

I have a Greek PSN account, 5€ and 10€ options are still there - in fact , i redeemed a 5€ the other day and the options haven't vanished (yet).
This is yet another colossal fuck up from Sony, as per usual, the average user is completely lost when it comes to knowing the why's and how's.
Zero transparency as usual - unless this is YET another bug.

Have you redeemed recently? Maybe they limit the amount you can redeem for a given period? I haven't redeemed anything for some time (probably more than 3 months now I think).

I don't see them anymore.
I wonder if there is a system in place where they introduced a per-account ceiling to the number of discount cards you can exchange with the stars points in a certain amount of time.
Otherwise I can't explain why reports on this are completely mixed. Some people still have them and others not.
Or it's a bug?
Still it's a change that should have been documented by Sony or that the media should have bothered to ask but they're too busy with their clickbait bullshit to actually ask some real questions.

I also just saw the $5 option pop back up - it also now airs in a separate ‘Wallet Funds’ column (previously it was in the same column as the other rewards for me before it disappeared originally).

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
The option is probably back for me too, but I didn't look.

One Month Later, PS Stars Cash Rewards Finally Return
£5 / $5 offer available again

$5 tier has returned, I confirmed it myself

Uggh, fuck it, I'll download the app again and see if it came back for me. I've purchased quite a few digital games since, so I would likely have at least a $5 credit.

Just redeemed 5000 points for £20, just do the £5 4 times and it worked for me.

Oh so that's how they are doing now? What a worthless fidelity program.

I've just managed to claim £50 worth of £5 vouchers off PS app on my phone, so it definitely still works and you can redeem multiple times
I completely forgot this thing even existed, so thanks for the reminder

You can still buy digital currency for destiny etc but agreed lost a huge amount of value.

And I backtrack my statement, as the adult I am.
Confirmed you can redeem multiple times

I was only jesting!
I thought the exact same thing when I seen this re-appear that you would only be able to redeem once and then have to spend the points on the shit games or in game currency available.
I was pleasantly surprised that they’re offering this back, albeit in a kind of sneaky stealth way.

They changing the expiration date from 48 months to 24 months is the true punch in the gut. I have points to use but this is a clear way of tempting the customer to spend some more and get something with the points before expiring, which is a sly tactical change from their ToS.

Yep, $5 option is back for me as well after having no options for a month or two. Happy about it, since I normally just redeem $5 and throw the credit in my account as soon as I get enough points for it.

Back for me too, 5 eur option.
You can't read can you?
