PlayStation players should grab free credit before it’s lost forever

In case you didn’t know, PlayStation is changing the terms of its PlayStation Stars service, the rewards program that offers points for purchases.

They eliminate the points you get when paying for things like PlayStation Plus or other subscription-based services.

Amazon Prime has written a love letter to gaming with Secret levelwill be released in December

If you’re not familiar with PlayStation Stars, the points can be redeemed for things like PSN credit, which gives you small discounts on new games.

Perhaps even more surprisingly, points now expire much faster, so if you’ve been hoarding them, now’s the time to spend them.

Although the change isn’t set to take effect until March 2025, it’s worth checking the PlayStation app to check your account balance.

Of course, this change is not well received on Reddit and players are urging each other to check their Stars account balance in order to redeem any points they may have.

“Saw the email and immediately redeemed $25. The problem is not the subscription purchases, it’s the points expiring, which is the bigger problem.” This came from user profound-killah.

The original poster, give_me_two_beers, responds: “Yes, that’s a lousy tactic. Virtual points just shouldn’t expire.”

Redditor ruiner8850 ​​​​says: “Yeah, for me it’s basically pointless now since they expire so quickly and the subscriptions don’t count.”

Many users on the subreddit recommend that everyone review their app as soon as possible.

If you navigate to the little star icon, it will show your balance and what you may be able to convert into credit.

Blarg13 immediately followed the advice: “Thanks for the tip. Just redeemed 6,250 points for $25 PSN.”

Many users report having money lying around just waiting to be claimed. For example, Brilliant-Badger8673 said, “When I found out, I immediately used the points to get $10 for my wallet because I don’t buy games that often.”
