Poll: Did You Get Free PlayStation Store Credit from Sony?

Nope. Excuse me while I go cry uncontrollably.

It's not that much money, but I just don't get how it works or see its point. Better not do it at all, if people who've spent thousands upon thousands don't get it.

Looks like it was a very low volume offer based on these results.

Wow, I was in the minority then. I'm amazed the percentage was so low but happy all the same that I got it.

I got credited with the £10 several hours before I actually got the notification so I was initially confused when I noticed I was a tenner in credit on the store.

I can't believe there has been so much whining from people who didn't get it. It was never going to be for everyone, so random assignment seems the best option. Just be happy for people who got lucky and bring some positivity to your life.

@naruball over 330 purchases beside from retail disc which amount for a couple of hundred games

Never a one cent from Sony. Plus now for over 11 years. I think they are aimed for those who do not purchase from the store to try it out.

I have a had the same psn account since the first week the service was live on ps3. I have over 1000 downloads on my download list for ps3, ps4 and vita. 2 of my sons have their own psn accounts with pp and yet none of us got any credit so it must be completely random

@lixei32 that makes sense, I don't know anyone with an active account that regularly buys things that received credit

@lixei32 Yeah, maybe. I hardly ever go on the store and I got a credit. I usually buy games on disc. Seems unfair though tbh, to people who buy a lot of stuff direct from PS Store

Nope,so I bought 3 games from the sale bendy I'm a loser lol

@XurAgentofthe9 It makes business sense thou.

To celebrate NOT getting any I bought the full horizon digi edition for £10.49

I didn't get it however my brother did. I've been a plus sub much longer than him but no biggie, I've been on the receiving end of these before.

I didn't but my mate got one. He's no longer my mate.

They're rolling out the credit until August 11th. Everyone chill. Jesus.

I've only ever been gifted the $10 once and I guess they thought that was enough for me

I have been a PS+ subscriber since day 1. Whenever Sony have handed these "gifts" out to PS+ subscribers I've literally never got any of them. I've been digital only pretty much during the PS4 generation too. I have zero idea how Sony select people for this, but my guess is it's totally random.

Best gift Sony could give is bringing back free online play when microsoft inevitably announce the death of xbox gold any day now, with crossplay and PC releases neither company can justify paywalled multiplayer anymore!

Been a subscriber since day one of the PS4 with 3 years still remaining on my sub. No credit for me.

I also didn't get the promotional Persona themes despite getting the platinum well before the time required and contacting Sony without a response.

92% of 1100 polled didn't get the $10? How does that make sense, Sony?

Where do I look to find out?

I got a $50 credit about 4 or 5 years ago. It expired in 7 days, I didn't notice the message till the 8th day so I lost out on it.

@lixei32 yeah, that or they're really random

I didn't get crap - haven't been on PS+ for a while, like a month or 2. Bet that doesn't even matter, and they still gave it out randomly.

Spent thousands of smackaroos over the years and haven't received this store credit. In the past, I have received credit for trophies.

I never received the credit. Ah well.

Of course I didn't get it, but I'm used to it...it's honestly stupid lol

Nope and was quite disappointed not to. Not sure why - I could easy put a tenner credit on but not much I want for that price right now. Just felt I missed out is all

Nope, and as punishment I'm no longer getting a PS5 and switching to Xbox.

this is kinda lame... I mean, you cant give some and not others this little gift.. if you are giving it away, then treat all customers the same, slip another 5 or 10 extra for longer subscribed customers but still look after existing once too.

Fingers crossed for £20 in 10 years time! On the PS6.

Ps Plus user 7-8yrs now, but no banana republic colonial Oz dollaroos here either!
Am i surprised, no. Nice gift if you can get it though.
As i mentioned in the other thread though, my only real annoyance has been the the psn sales content in recent months.
WayForward of Shantae/River City Girls answered someone on twitter about the lack of any ps4 sales & mentioned needing to go thru a few extra hoops vs other consoles...much like a lot of other indies getting cobwebs on my wishlists or never having had a single psn sale since release. Meantime if you want Sims 4 mtx dlc or COD, Crash, Assassins creed its virtually every other sale. Shu Yoshida loves indies, the psn store managers are another matter.

Didn't get it and doubt I will get it by now. Maybe next time

@Gudger who told you this?

By the looks of this poll, Im starting to think it's fake honestly, I don't even see a word about it from Sony anywhere

@HermitPope

https://www.dualshockers.com/playstation-psn-plus-ten-10-dollar-credit-ps4-ps5/

@Gudger thanks for the response! Even though it did say everyone still might not get it, atleast I have until August 11 before being disappointed lol

This was a terrible idea, so many people left with a feeling of disappointment. A first class example of how not to treat your customer base.

@HermitPope same.. We shall see, I suppose

I remember logging for the first time on my US account on PS4 after long, long years of inactivity... and immediately recieved 10$ I even remember what I bought - ICEY.

Guys, do Yourself a favour, buy 10$ voucher, and get ICEY. Amazing, AMAZING game. How this game is not on EU store, I can't belive it.

I’ve been a PS+ member for 8 years and I didn’t get a single goddamn credit from Sony. I’m going to put on my detective hat here and say this story is straight whack as the poll results speak for itself!

@lixei32 I agree completely, I believe they offered it to those who do not usually spend in the store, at least that is what I am telling myself to hide my disappointment!

@phil_j better to not do it at all really. Considering how little it is - I would think you'd do it for everyone or forget it. It just causes unnecessary reputational damage.

@LittleBlueAlien

But 41,5 million x 10€ - how much would that be?

got the 10€ when first reported. If it helps determine the randomness I have playstation plus since 2013 at least and to be fair I spend money regularly on the PSstore. Bought Judgment for less than 2€

Nothing yet, and therefore unlikely to at all.

I don't think I've ever got any of these offers. I never even get the Platinum trophy give-aways like themes, etc.

I have it since the PS4 but now i can what i like most keep buying physical keep the renner Sony i dont care.

@Prime_Objective well it's technically lost profit - not direct cost - but since we're going down that route - if they can't give everyone $10 - how can they possibly justify free games every month? Again, if it's that big a deal to do it for everyone - they should just have not done it

@Orpheus79V 4% is extremely low, what kind of randoness is this? No one hardly got anything 😏

@LittleBlueAlien well it would have been a little bonus with how crap these monthly plus games are

Nah, I don't have my ps4 anymore, it'd be pretty interesting if I got anything from sony.

@Paranoimia Think these are linked to the "Share information with Sony" preferences. Mine's turned off (like any sensible person should be doing) and never received anything like that despite platting numerous games that off themes as rewards.

@lessthanleo I'm sure they are, but mine have always been turned on and I still never get anything.

I am not salty that i did not get it, just wondering why only a random few was awarded. I mean, why not handle this like a type of discount, and give it to everyone? And dont give me the "it would be £10/$10 multiplied by millions of subsribers", because some discounts cut way more from certain prices than this. Okay, okay, im a bit salty after all.

I see I'm added to the 94% that didn't get the $10 CREDIT! What a joke that was, they just wanted to see if everyone would get on their Playstation so that they could count the members that were active on PS4 ! I know of one person that owns a ps4 pro and all 4 of them and he doesn't even get on any of them to play. What do you call them type of people who try to impress others by buying things they don't have? That person does it and lets them sit around, collecting dust bunnies, at least they're not alone, huh? LMAO!!! They're ruined now, not worth anything, Right?

Been subbed to PS+ since 2012 and have had my account open for over 10 years now. Have spent thousands on the PSN Store between PS3, PS4 & PS Vita and didn't receive a thing. Thanks Sony lmao

I have PS+ since it was launched 10 years ago, and I got the 10euro
so it could be related

Nope. Haven't had PSPlus in over 4 years. No plans on getting it in the future either. It's not of value for me, as I only play exclusives on the Playstaion platform and the ones I play don't require PSPlus to play them.

For some reason I got $15. Seems everyone else got $10? :-

I used it to buy DLC I was suppose to get free with a game but never got the code with it.

I have been waiting ages to get something from sony ive given up now

Didn't receive any this time around... but I already received it two times at random dates some years ago. So fair enough I guess.
