Whether it was an intentional removal or not remains unknown, but PS Stars users are beginning to notice the return of cash rewards on their PlayStation phone app. Reports of a £5 / $5 redemption option going live have spread across the internet, and we ourselves now have the reward listed in our personal app. It was noticed just over a month ago that the option had been removed, meaning PS Stars users could only redeem their points for full games or digital collectibles.
While the option was unavailable, Sony provided no updates as to whether the offer was purposefully removed or not. As such, we'll likely never know if the function was added back in as a result of the blowback from users or disappeared as a result of a glitch. For now, at least, the £5 / $5 redemption option is available. No other options, like the previous £10 / $10 or £20 / $20 offers, are present on our app.
Will you be redeeming your PS Stars points again? Let us know in the comments below.

Mine never left? I redeemed my points for a £5 voucher a week or two ago no issues - surely I can't be the only one?
Uh the 10 dollar option has been available this whole time I’ve been using it
Holy crap, it's true! Just got the $5 I earned after loading up in the Black Friday sale.
Cool, perfect timing, redeeming that today. The Platform 8 will be free!
Can confirm. I can finally see fiver option. Had points for tenner so im cashing it out.
Thanks for the heads up! Redeemed my fiver before it disappeared again.
Thank god! I was really irritated by them removing this. I wasn't going to buy sh#t going forward.
Amazing, never used the rewards before. Have just redeemed £25 worth of credit...
Dayum! I thought the good times were over 😎
Thank goodness. Otherwise that would have been a fatal nerf to the service.
Never went away for me.
Cool. Yes, I have now 5£ and 10£ rewards svailable. Collected 5£ while it is available. Never know about that with Playstation.
@NeuralDeclan me too. I've had the £5 offer the whole time and redeemed it a couple weeks back
Finally, I've been waiting over a month to redeem my points. I'm just spending them ASAP before they take them away again.
The 5€ option is also back in Germany.
The £5 is back for me and ive still got the £10 option as well
Redeemed mine before it vanishes again
Of course they’re back after I broke down two days ago and used points on something else. ☹️
Didn’t expect to see them again TBH.
***** finally, just converted all my points and added like $50 into my PSWallet before they took it down again.
Yay it's back. Very close to getting back a £5 voucher again so in the words of Alan Partridge 'Jurassic park!!!'
€5 is live on the app in Ireland. That was two of the quickest redemptions I've ever done in my life.
FINALLY! I better move fast before they realize it's back.
Edit: only option available to me in Caribbean (US PSn account) is $5 but I'll take it!
Thanks for the info, I've been checking most days and had just about given up on it returning and had assumed it was just being phased out as people update the app.
Only the £5 option was back for me but that's cool as it's all I could get for my points. Redeemed quickly in case it goes again.
I don't think I've ever seen the £10 option. I thought it was only £5 and £20
Never disappeared for me.
Had it cone up in coins or was it always 1,250 ??
@NeuralDeclan Don’t call me Shirley.
Mine definitely did go away and I was annoyed because I had £20 worth of credit to redeem. Glad it’s back but I will be redeeming it straight away in case this happens again
Excellent news! That change was very disappointing so glad they've brought back the wallet rewards
