good thing you posted this. i was about to get a gift card.

I redeemed 5000 for the uncharted vita game last week damn it.

lol these things always pop up right after you redeem for something ahaha

Lol, they charge tax. Is that even legal? No moeny is involved before the tax ...

$50 PS network code doesn't seem to be a gift card. Would be easy to Ebay.

got the wifi blu ray player for 6000 points....almost free with this not bad lol

I only had around 3900 points, but the deal of the day is the BDPS185 blu-ray player for 5999 points (it's around $79 on Amazon). Bought the balance of the points for $26 total, including tax and will end up with more points than I started with after the bonus hits the account.

I've never had a blu-ray player, but was already looking at buying a drive for a planned HTPC build. Bought this instead (for $25 less than a drive) and will now keep the HTPC ultra small. I have Amazon Prime so this seems like an ok player for blu-ray watching and Amazon streaming.

i hope the blu ray player isnt too shitty...

wow thanks man, redeeming for PSN card :)

do not have a sony card

get one you will get more points too!!!

I swear, rewards site getting hammered. Still waiting for them to put the vita up for cheaper :)

what to buy and sell? uncharted abyss game for the vita a good buy?

just redeemed for ARCO gas card last week. :(((

I've done some reading, but I hope someone else has done more than me. It appears there is an offer for 5,000 bonus points for your first purchase with a Sony Rewards Card. Could we expect to sign up for a card, be accepted, get the card, and make a purchase in a reasonable time frame to get these 5k points with which to redeem for another 5k points for a total of 10k basically free points minus some small purchase with the card?

Apply for Sony Rewards ( If you dont have one ) here and get 5000 points!

http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/gat...4647196727

You get 5000 points for the first purchase, then redeem 5000 points and get another 5000 points!

need 1 point filler item..

:lol:

Thanks a lot OP.

You can just buy the point for a cent. hmmm, that doesn't work, you need the 5000, I see...

taxes will be charged in points too. not sure this will count toward the 5000 or not. :rolleyes:

Just got the email. It's 5,000 points in the store or can it be buy any sony product and file a claim to use the points?

Trying to find some good games... Sadly not too many.

"Excludes Purchase Credit Requests."

gift card is excluded

Annoying. Maybe I'll just grab GT5.

Yeah I noticed that right after I posted.

nice, picked up twisted metal for a net of 1,518 points including tax, thanks and repped.

I used up all my points on their gift cards last week

Hmm.. GT5 or Uncharted 3...

But it wouldn't have mattered since gift cards are excluded.

I'm trying to find out in PSN cards count as a gift card. I need to feed my Rock Band collection...

Bleh... everything is so over priced, and taxed too boot. And then freakn site is slow and buggy.

26K points total for the Vita WiFi.... pretty tempting since nothing else is really intriguing... anyone else in a similar predicament?

Let me make sure I have this straight:
1 - I sign up for the PlayStation credit card
2 - make a purchase
3 - get 5,000 points
4 - redeem the 5,000 points on Sony Rewards
5 - get another 5,000 points
Correct?

Also, how many points is the Vita? It doesn't tell you unless you log in?

*Edit* Looks like the WiFi Vita is 26K points. Which is basically $260. That's more than MSRP. Lame.
What about the 3G Vita?

Can't browse rewards on their site now. Maybe slickdeals effect.

Just redeem for PSN points, not a gift card

buy your vita elsewhere and use psn points to buy games

are you sure that will work? have you gotten your bonus points yet?

Yeah I guess. I'm just wondering if its worth signing up for a credit card to get what amounts to $100. And the $100 are only spendable on Sony Rewards' overpriced stuff. I'm waiting for some super sweet deal to push me over the edge and give me an excuse to get the Vita.

Bonus points take 2-4 weeks. I just bought the PSN card because it's not a gift card. If they give me problems I'll give them hell.

Save the Hard Pull. Open a Chase Freedom for $300 cashback.

Agree with qwertyaas: SonyRewards card (issued b CapitalOne) is no longer a sweat deal as it once used to be (when Chase had it). With some luck you can get a Citi card that offers up to 50,000 points ($500) after some min spending withing 3 months time (ex. 2500 within 3 months). If this fits your spending habits (I am assuming the card is paid off every month!) this would be the card to sign up for. SonyRewards no longer offers rewards once it used to and the SonyRewards items are generally overpriced. I have had the card for 3+ years and witnessed its slow decline.

Yeah, it was nice when you could do the minigames to get up to 450 points a week for just spending a couple minutes a day (although I found out about that a couple months before the end of it).

Now I'm probably just going to get a PS3 game to flip it. Uncharted and Twisted Medal seem like the best choices for that actually.

what's the quickest way to turn this into cash

Called 3 times. 2 said network codes won't qualify. 1 didn't know

I have a Sony Card with more than enough points to cover this and I'm still having trouble picking something, these rewards prices are outrageous!

Seriously... I was just going to get a game but they barely have any PS3 games. I'm just going to get something with the highest resale value but the website is so slow now I can barely even find anything.

Stupid question here:

"Only one 5,000 bonus points offer will be awarded per Sony Card member."

I have 2 different sony card, does this mean i can redeem two 5,000 points (one for each card)?

Glad that this deal helped you people out!!! Thanks for pushing me over 600...

you guys think they might restock the store with more goodies before the deal is over? we have almost a month for the deal and lots of stuff is out of stock. i just hope they dont cut the deal short or something... but that would seem to violate terms or something?

Good deal. Too bad I don't have enough points in my account. Doesn't help that I never use their card anymore. It just unfortunately doesn't have the same appeal as cash back, unless you really like Sony products.

just cashed out for ps3 uncharted bundle 2 wks ago, dang....it seems like they havent been restocking any of the ps3 bundles, prolly gonna dump the card after i graduate. Points have been on the decline as well as them restocking good stuff like tv, and stuff

ok. so I just got enrolled and bought 6500 points (bought it with $65) worth of games.
But I don't see I got the 5000 bonus points anywhere. Any ideas where we can check if everything went through ok?

2-4 weeks until points get put in your account,

Ah. I should've read. :p

"The 5,000 points will be awarded 2-4 weeks after the promotional period has ended. "

Yeah. Thanks. :D

Thought I'd go with a $50 PSN code. Anyone know if that will fly?

so top off pts don't qualify?

Saw this in my email and just deleted it because I didn't want to deal with it at first, lol. Good thing I saw this thread.

can i redeem the points at the store?

I've scoured the sony rewards site quite a bit. the $45 bookshelf speakers and a $9 dvd would work well but already have those speakers. The A35 camera is about $50 less than amazon at $495 worth of points, but i'm not in the market. I wish that blu-ray player was still available... Passing for now, i'll check the deal of week/day until the deadline though.

i just purchased an iphone doc... seemed like a decent deal for 7500 points or so... had 6000, so just ended up paying around $15 for the doc... sounded good to me!

I am eyeing the PS Move Controller which is 4999 pre-tax. Called in but the Rep wasnt sure if that qualifies and put in a ticket.

The 1 point off as a card member discount really screws up a lot of items.

I was wondering, does the 5000 point redemption bonus has to be one item that totals at least 5K or more, or can be more than 1 item that adds up to 5K? Let me know thanks

Is it pre-tax or post tax 5000? So if I get something that is 4,900 points and is 5200 with tax, what counts?

Nice, after I logged in all prices end with a 9. :rolleyes: And the fine print doesn't say "excluding tax points" either.

Got a 7" portable dvd player for the car for 7200 plus stupid tax... 7800 total i think. But still for under 3k points for it delivered, i'd say it is worth it... since my parents wanted one (actually asked for one just before i saw this deal)...

I agree since this card went to Capital one the programs sucks. I cashed out all of my points for gift cards recently and plan to cancel this card.

got myself the sony bluetooth keyboard for the tablet. Should have just gotten the blu ray player for my fathers bday but oh well! came out to 5800 points, so 800 pts for a keyboard aint bad!

For the record, other than to satisfy this promotion, you can purchase Sony products at ANY authorized Sony retailer and redeem your points. You will just have to pay up front, fill out a form, and get reimbursed.

thx. got a new ps3 controller

Side question. If I buy something with the card and want to fill the purchase request form, does it have to be purchased from the Sony Store or any store as long as it's a Sony Product (ex: Best Buy)?

i haven't redeemed anything in ages, and of course, i just did 1 month ago. oh well.

i purchased http://www.sonyrewards.com/en//br...3573100733 5,871 points with tax.. so when i get the 5000 points back makes it 871 points.. sweeet

alot of us have sony reward cards because you used to get a $200 signup credit..

Missed "deal of the week" after I sign up. That was quick.

Does not need to be in Sony Store. You need to send in the receipt, just follow the instruction on their website.

Anyone know about if tax counts toward 5000 pts?

As per the Cust. Service Rep - Yes,
But they are still not sure about if combination of items counts towards 5000 or not.

Ordered Projection Clock/Radio - not bad for 5719 points including Tax.

http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/bro...=ICFC717PJ

You have to login to see discounted points

those days are gone but sony card is still great IF you buy sony stuff. Most of my electronics are sony because I get the 5x points & whatever cashback from FW or similar cashback site, plus this is a visa signature (not sure if it still is after cap1 took over) but you can purchase extended warranty for dirt cheap from visa directly. Lately though, i find myself using discover for anything & everything since they have some cashback and they do seem to offer 1yr extended warranty just like any amex visa or mc.

Stumbled across these at FW, 165 points from registering these discs.

WZNNNVBC (30 Mins or Less DVD)
MVDPEBTT (Bad Teacher DVD)
CF2EL2GN (Drive DVD)
F5HZEFTZ (Friends with Benefits BluRay)
JQ9H9YG5 (Zookeeper Bluray)

this is a great deal if you already have points..and should be front page

Where did we land on the PSN points conversation? Does it count, because that's what I ordered. If not I need to cancel and order a controller.

I don't think you CAN cancel an order for PSN points since it e-mails you the code immediately

Thanks, I just got off the phone with them and they said PSN points counts towards the promotion, and that I'm good to go.

It makes sense because I checked the website and it's not in the gift card section, so it must count as a "playstation item." Anyway, i'm all set.

this is for a single item correct? not multiples that add to $50

I figured it would count, but wasn't sure. I ordered a $50 PSN card and also MLB 12: The Show...figured I'm basically getting the points for free for "purchasing" the game

Great deal.
I am going to get 2 Vita games and then a third when the 5k credit hits.
Getting a Vita through the NFL credit card deal.
All in all the vita will set me back around $50 tops.
For once I waited and got the deal BEFORE I jumped!

I too got in on the PSN code....now need to sell it :)

I'm wondering if it has to be an item 5000 pts or more, or can we buy several smaller items, so long as they end up being > 5000 pts?

I have a hard time picking any single thing at 5000+ pts, but probably could bundle a couple of small things together.

I got a $50 points card. Free $50 card that I can craigslist and get the points back. I looked through everything and my 11k points wouldn't get anything that I needed for a reasonable price. I looked at the bluetooth headphones but they were still $68 after using all of my points. I just need some for mowing the lawn and snowblowing so I didn't want to get some nice ones that I could possibly break.

delete

Bah it isn't a card it is an e-mailed code...well time to sell it to a friend for cheap I guess.

So no one actually uses PSN points in this thread. Everyone wants to sell. Kinda shocking.

How do you guys buy points with credit card prior to checking out? I ask because when you buy points during checkout to fullfill the needed points, it seems to be considered as a credit card transaction. I'm not certain as I didn't complete the transcation.

Thanks...:)

thanks. repped !

Just ordered a $50 PSN code since anything else I wanted is full retail priced (at the 1 cent/point rate). No tax... so 5,000 points even. This is a code, not a gift card (which has its own section), so it should be eligible.

Glad I saw this thread because I had 10,000 points I totally forgot about, and 2,000~ were about to expire.


Thanks/reps OP!

I don't see how the code wouldn't count. It's not a gift card but a product.

Their gift cards and movie tickets are in a separate section of the store so it should be ok

My interpretation is that multiple items can add up just as long as you exceed 5000 pts during the promotion

or you could interpret:

I only have 3700 points, does it count if you buy points when checking out sth over 5000 points?

The fact that music is included should clue you knuckleheads in that the 5000 is a total of all items. (not one $50 CD - sheesh)

Not to be a jerk or anything, but seriously, why do you care?

True, but it DOES have to be an AUTHORIZED (by Sony) reseller. It can't be Joe'scheap$#it storefront through Amazon, or Fleabay - even if it's "Brand New" but it can of course be Amazon, Best Buy etc.
Hey, on some things the Extended Warranty you can purchase through some Visa banks (signature, some co-ops etc.) are nice though they don't pro-rate it very well for the less expensive items.
http://usa.visa.com/signature/ala...#anchor_17

For example a 5 year TV warranty $96.99 before tax for TV's which cost between $ 551.00 - $750.99 (skewd towards being a much better deal for the more expensive items in the range). That's a range of 17.6% - 12.9% of the purchase price ==VS==
For example a 5 year TV warranty $58.99 before tax for TV's which cost between $150.00 - $250.99. That's a range of 39% - 23.5% OUCH, not a good deal if you scored a deal for say a $175 TV. So in that case it's better to buy it with a Visa or Amex or MC that doubles the manufacturer's warranty for free (assuming it's got a full year warranty from the manufacturer. Otherwise Square trade and some 20 - 30% off coupons are a good option if you feel you need a warranty.

5 years Cost
1st rows are what the product purchased costs.
2nd row after the = sign is what you pay for the Visa warranty manager service (extended warranty)
3rd rows are the percentages of the original purchase price (not each year) for for the complete 5 years (so divide by 5 to break it up per year - runs concurrently with the manufacturer's warranty)
$ 150.00 - 250.99 = $58.99 - 39% - 23.5%
$ 251.00 - 400.99 = $68.99 - 27.5% - 17%
$ 401.00 - 550.99 = $78.99 - 19.7% - 14%
$ 551.00 - 750.99 = $96.99 - 17.6% - 12.9%
$ 751.00 - 1,000.99 = $112.99 - 15% - 11.3%
$ 1,001.00 - 1,500.99 =$137.99 - 13.8% - 9.2%
$ 1,501.00 - 2,000.99 = $189.99 - 12.65% - 9.5%
$ 2,001.00 - 2,500.99 = $267.99 - 13.4% - 10.7%
$ 2,501.00 - 3,000.99 = $384.99 - 15.4% - 12.8%
$ 3,001.00 - 3,500.99 = $436.99 - 14.56% - 12.5%
$ 3,501.00 - 4,000.00 = $477.99 - 13.65% - 11.95%

-------------
for computers & related peripherals it's even more skewd which is great if you are right near the Upper end of things but sucks if you just get bumped into a much higher cost bracket.
Cost 3 years 4 years Rates/Percentage of the Original purchase price (for just the 5 year plans)
$ 150.00 - 350.99 $ 42.99 $ 57.99 - (38.7% - 16.5% )
$ 351.00 - 700.99 $ 47.99 $ 66.99 - (19.1% - 9.6%)
$ 701.00 - 1,200.99 $ 81.99 $ 122.99 - (17.5% - 10.2%)
$ 1,201.00 - 2,000.99 $ 114.99 $ 178.99 - (14.9% - 8.95%)
$ 2,001.00 - 3,000.99 $ 164.99 $ 262.99 - (13.1% - 8.76%)
$ 3,001.00 - 4,000.99 $ 220.99 $ 355.99 - (11.86% - 8.9%)
$ 4,001.00 - 5,000.00 $ 265.99 $ 429.99 - (10.75% - 8.6%)



Keep in mind this ISN'T per year, this is for the TOTAL FIVE year time period. So even the rate compared to a most store extended warranties is going to be stellar. They also offer a three year plan for non computer items.

Computers & related gear is now either a 3 or a 4 your plan. Bought an extended laptop warranty for the laptop I got my mom for ~$699 in Sept of 09 (I believe) back then they only offered me 4 years for $66.99 + tax. A dollar on the laptop price and it would have nearly DOUBLED the price of the plan to $122 OUCH!!! @ $66.99 though that's ~10% for not one or two years, but a full four years; 3 after the manufacturer's warranty ended. IMO a total bargain.

I was unaware (last time I called Discover Card ~ Maybe a year ago they DID NOT offer any extended warranty program or free doubling of the warranty as AMEX, Most Visa, and some MasterCard's now do). Are you sure? I'll check this out as it would be welcome news. I like & rely on Discover Card because they have Online one X use secure CC #'s. They tried to end that program but (I & apparently many many others) emailed them and said we wanted them back & that we'd take our business elsewhere. In fact that wasn't that long ago & I remember emailing them and saying because they DON'T match Visa's warranty doubling I would be shifting my purchases to Visa & Paypal or Google Checkouts when I could.

Most Visa's & Amex will double up to a year the manufacturer's warranty. (So a 1 year TV = 2 years.) Though, I've heard some not pleasant stories, most people seem to get hung up when they use a Gift card or store credit, online credit or something like that to pay for part of the purchase. In order to qualify you much make 100% of the purchase with that single CC company (no splitting it between to cards either).

can people start populating the Wiki with their suggestions on what to buy for 5K points ... anything worth while, interesting items?

Sony Rewards use to be great when you can cash out 1:1c for gift cards back in the day.

At the current prices, I still feel ripped off spending 5000 FREE points =\

yeah, i got a mailer last year saying my card is now offering free extended warranty. it might be selective depending on your history with discover, i'm just not sure but give them a call and see if your card offers the same. i've the regular discover cashback

and yeah, for any extended warranty to work, make sure you pay 100% of your purchase with the credit card, no partial payment with gift card/store credit etc although i would think coupons are an exception

if someone takes the time to rep you he/she feels that you helped them...I have been on this site for many years and have saved 1000s of dollars...I am glad to have given back a littl ebit that is all...

No, why do you care about having a more rep points?

Might want to make sure you aren't the ignorant one before calling other people out. It took me literally 30 seconds to find something in the Music category that is over 5000 points: The Great American Baseball Box - Collection [sonyrewards.com]

The more Rep points i have the more my deals are helping more people...

That is not the correct answer. Answer this question correctly and honestly and see the truth (or better yet, the lie). And the truth shall set you free.

Hmm, still not sure what to get. Probably going for some PS3 game and just flip it. Nothing else really has good value.

Lol, dude what's your deal? I personally see rep points as an indicator of good deals/info someone has posted (this is not an absolute, of course). I don't think most people take them too seriously but it is nice to cross a threshold regardless...however arbitrary it seems. (I got excited when I got over 300 feedback on ebay and I know it's silly but I just like milestones.)

Thanks stealofadeal for confirming the PSN points! If nothing better comes up by the end of the month, that's probably what I'll go with.

The PSN points are not always on there...they come and go. Just warning you that there's a chance they might not be available for purchase if you wait until the end of the month.

Thanks! Those pushed me to 5001. Going for the PSN code.

Maybe its just nice to know that your deals are appreciated, since SD is FULL of ungrateful lurkers that pretty much "leech" deals, not even leaving a simple "thanks". (the guest-to-member ratio is ridiculous)

So it actually does mean something when someone is willing to take that extra 3 seconds out of their day to rep.

Yeah telling a girl your enormous amount rep points isn't going to get you laid, but again reps are still nice way to know that your deals are appreciated.

Yeah, and when I see a member who's been here for 5 years with 9000 posts and 10 reps, we all know what this user is all about. :D

Has anyone asked how long the bonus points last? Normal points expire after 5 years but sometimes the bonus points expire after a few months or a year at most,,, is that the case with these 5,000 points? If that's the case then you end up spending 5,000 points now and end up having to rush to spend the 5,000 bonus points too. If anyone can enlighten me on this I'd appreciate it.

So I currently have 3000 points and interested in getting the PSN points which is 5000 points. How would I go about buying the 2000 points so that I can qualify for this 5000 bonus points in few weeks for making this purchase?

It will ask you to purchase them during the checkout process

Where does it say that? OP's T&C mention SonyRewards Catalog

"Once enrolled, if you are an active Sony Card member in good standing, and you redeem 5,000 points for any Sony electronics, music, movies or PlayStation item (excludes all Gift Cards and movie tickets) within the Sony Rewards online catalog between 3/1/12-3/31/12, you will qualify for the 5,000 bonus points offer".

I want to buy PS3 controller. its 5400 points on SonyRewards but cheaper on Amazon. I can buy 2 on Amazon to make it reach 5K. But I am not sure if I can buy from Amazon and still be able to get 5K bonus.

Dig a little deeper. Why would it matter if they were or weren't appreciated? Why is it "nice to know"?

More rep = more entries into giveaways

You're quoting a post talking about the Purchase Credit option...has nothing to do with this promotion. For this promotion, it has to be from Sony Rewards catalog

For the same reason that you feel the need to belittle their view of reputation?

Yeah, didnt read whole thread and didnt assume thread would've sidelined. But do I have to buy from Sony Rewards catalog? Yes?

In order to get the bonus 5000 points, yes you need to buy from Sony Rewards catalog

Point out exactly where I did that. I am not belittling, but shedding light on something very sinister going on in virtually everyone's "mind". Don't blame me if the truth offends you.

this:
Edit to reply to your edit:
Nice to know that we have a psychologist in here to let us know what is going on in all of our minds.

That is not belittling. I am simply suggesting the person trace their motivations for the stated behavior.

The definition of belittle is to make someone or something seem unimportant. Telling someone that they're lying to themselves about their motivations for liking reps pretty much meets that definition to a T. I'm done with this conversation, because it's becoming quite obvious that you're just trying to troll and this is adding nothing to the discussion, so don't bother replying.

As stated before, this lie affects virtually every single person's mind. If it is part of the human condition, and not something specific to the person, then how is that belittling? Like I said, trace the motivations back, and you will see.

Heck, trace your motivations for feeling regret, embarrassment, pride, worry, etc... and you will find something very very interesting. Something that will change (for lack of a more powerful word) your "life".

don't feed the trolls...

So, just got off the phone with a supervisor and she told me that my order must total 5000 points before tax. 4999 wont cut it.

She also told me that multiple items are fine as long as they are in one order.

well crap, I ordered a single thing so I'm deff covered, but would have gotten other stuff instead

You are crossing two different things over here. I'm not talking about using/redeeming points already in an account in order to qualify to get the matching 5000 bonus points. My post was in response to what the other person said, for people who already have a card and buy a Sony product at another store (you don't get the full bonus - Sony makes you submit a form). But in order to GET those additional points it has to be a purchase from a reseller Sony recongnizes so that was what my previous post was referring to...Purchase Credit option

Thanks Idle Hacker rep'd ya ;) this freakin Safari browser didn't refresh correctly so I missed that you had much more simply answered the question.

come and get it! :eek:



You have nothing to add to the conversation. You're pathetic.

http://slickdeals.net/newsearch.p...rteronly=1

Jealous much?


Your deals make me :vomit:

Seriously, question why you took the time to do that. Trace the motivation all the way back to the source (if you can). The answer could save your life/soul.

What do you have to lose? It's time we started getting honest with ourselves instead of hiding from ourselves.


And I don't mean, "Oh, to put a troll in his place." Why did you want to put a troll in his place? Why? What could you possibly gain from doing that? Satisfaction? Why do you get satisfaction from such a thing?

All the way back, to its roots. I will warn you, you will need some SERIOUS courage for such a feat, but the juice far outweighs the squeeze.

GuySakar, I did not see the meaning to your posts in the beginning, but now you have truly enlightened me. I fought all the demons that were hiding the true reason why I post, and that were leading me to the path of the coveted "Reps". But upon digging deeper, you have made me realize that ultimately this is all useless since humans are not immortal, and an enormous rep count will not leave a legacy unless you are the devout almighty dealmaster Selmabot. Thank you for making me realize that. May the spirit be with you on your path to another forum to enlighten others. I think FatWallet has the same issue with "green". Help those poor souls like thou has helped us!

I am aware of the purchase credit option. I have the card too. So If I buy a $50 worth of stuff from Amazon, I can get 5K points using purchase credit? I have Cap1 card from 2 years ago when they gave 30K points and everybody got a PS3 lol.

Never said there weren't any CDs that price chief :hug:

That's a lot of words dedicated to someone whom you neither know nor respect. Why?

please stay on topic.

Can anyone confirm that the PSN points are fine? On that note, mine haven't shipped yet from monday.

You can earn points by registering some Sony DVD/Bluray codes. Unlike other studios, Sony doesn't use unique codes, so it looks like we can share.
Sony cardmember gets 45pts/25pts for each BluRay/DVD registered while non-cardmember gets 30pts/15pts.
The codes can be found on the paper inserts inside the DVD case.
heres some more free extra points when you register these movies
JQ9H9YG5 (Zookeeper Bluray)
MVDPEBTT (Bad Teacher DVD)
WZNNNVBC (30 Mins or Less DVD)
CF2EL2GN (Drive DVD)

if other people have other movies on the list please post to share!

You missed

Wouldn't you know it, I used all my points to order a BDP-S390 on 2/28/12. I got the email from sony about this a few days later and was really irritated that I missed out on this. I don't feel quite as bad now that the price has gone up from 8,999 points ($89.99) to 11,699 points ($116.99) and it is out of stock. I think the sale ended 2/29/12.

I just checked and my wife has 6,039 points, so she could take advantage of this. I didn't think of her account since I got the email and she didn't. Thanks OP!

So, I took advantage of this, ordered some pc speakers, and then got this today:

03/08/2012

Hello CHRIS,

We regret to inform you that your Sony Rewards order 787366 for the SRSD4 has been cancelled because your item is no longer available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

NOW, i go back to the reward zone, and the item is STILL in stock! I ordered it again to see what happens. If they cancel on me, I will have to call and bitch I suppose.

from FW

"CDQA55JB (Colombiana Bluray)"

Huge No!
I'm afraid if I answer it more than that anymore it will just confuse further.

Lol..thanks for the simple answer :)

Can you guys PM me the FW link where you got this? I can't seem to find it there. TIA!

Cool. I put all codes in the WIKI section.

is anyone having trouble paying for points with a credit card with an item that exceeds your currently available points? i have tried for couple days and i keep getting this message...
"We're experiencing technical difficulties processing credit cards at the moment. Please try again later."
I'm using a non-sony card btw.

Sorry but where is the WIKI section? If you can PM me the info...thanks in advance.

I'm going to give you the secret wiki link: http://slickdeals.net/f/4028852-5...it48231374

You MUST use your sony card to make the purchase. Otherwise you won't be able to redeem the points.

any more codes out there?

Just bought MLB the Show 12!!

Thanks OP!!

No one really directly answered this, but if I only have 3k and buy something over the 5k mark and pay for the extra points, I'd still qualify for the 5k offer right?

Thanks!

I have 2 sony cards, does this mean i can redeem two 5000 points?

YES! Please. Could you PM me the FW link as well. Reps & many thanks.

Yes. The extra points are 1 cent a point. Be sure to purchase qualified items (gift cards and movie tickets do not count.)

Can you PM me the FW link as well? Thanks

Same...thanks in advance

This promotion is pretty crummy. In addition to everything being overpriced:

1. there is hardly anything worth getting that's fairly close to 5k
2. sony charges you tax on your point purchase. ?!

for an N battery and a cybershot case it will be 17.4K points. I would be charged 1.74K points above the 5k threshold and in addition ~$5 on my credit card. A total cost of $20 for an N battery (that I don't really need) and a carrying case.

I think I'm going to hang onto my points and wait for something good to show up on amazon so I can ge t a purchase credit.

y'all got pm'ed

Thanks & REPS from me. I appreciate your time!

Ordered a PS3 game last Wednesday I think, and got it over the weekend. I remember last time I ordered it took a couple weeks to get the item.

Anyway, opened the box and tossed it right on Ebay. Free 5,000 point cashout, why not :)

Got my MP3 player, now just waiting on the points.

Just e-mailed customer support and they confirmed, with some official fine print looking text, that PlayStation Network codes are eligible for this promotion. So glad I didn't have to buy something I couldn't use or sell fast.

need the link too....thanks

check your pm.

what about deal of day or deal of week items? do they qualify for the promotion?

thanks

I was going to cash in on the ps3 wireless keyboard ..... should i ?

For those who got a shipping confirmation email; does it include a tracking number? The one item I ordered last week just shipped but nowhere in there there is a tracking number. It's been a while since I ordered from SonyRewards but in the past they always gave the tracking number for the shipper (FedEx, UPS).

Great find.. I had to buy 3800 points to get a controller but getting 5000 back is awesome.
I also forgot that I had 2 other accounts that had around 3900 points on each expiring on march 31 2012. So I snagged up a 50 gift card on each account for 11.00 each. woohhoooo Now I have 250 in giftcards laying around.

If you bought 'regular' (store, gas, merchandise, etc) gift cards, you won't get the 5,000 back.

No tracking, my package showed up yesterday from Fedex.

No tracking here either. Ordered 2 games at the same time...one came in a couple days ago, and the other hasn't come yet

going to do the same thing, but i'm still a couple hundred points short, been doing wheel watchers club, 10 points a day...

pls send it to me too
thanks

Be careful if you sell the PSN code on ebay. Someone with a stolen cc bought mine and wanted me to email it to them. Paypal froze my account but luckily I hadn't sent it. They refunded the money to the card (it was reported stolen and shouldn't of been able to be used)

Paypal will not protect you if the buyer claims they didn't receive it unless you have a tracking #

ok. getting tired of people asking for the link every other day. :lol:
posting the link here in this fashion hoping to avoid SD block. just do the obvious modifications.
f a t w a l l e t dot c o m/forums/finance/1174547/

thanks. repped.

do you get the PSN code e-mailed to you or via mail? Mine never seems to have come

I did it, did you use the codes listed in the 1 pages. it worth 210.
I had to add a a music CD, in total everything spend was about 6k. I get 5k back, those 1k are easily attainable . Good luck!

damn I wish the controllers were on sale. I threw one against the wall while playing NHL 12. The wall won. Looks like I get a free-ish replacement. YAY NERDRAGE

Well I should clarify. My main account I do have a Sony card but the other two I just opened to play the games (wheel of fortune and jeopardy) to get points. I just looked at the accounts to see how much I had on them and seen that I could spend them all on a gift card. (Was only allowed to spend 500 points at a time previously) From what I read you had to be a sony card holder but if that isnt the case then I just gave 25.00 for 100 in sony gift cards.

can you use this offer to get digital downloads of music?

"if you don't have 5,000 points, you can buy points for cash at checkout for a penny a point"
so even if you don't have points, it's like spend $50, get $50 for anything at Sony rewards store except gift cards?

Twisted Metal for PS3 cost like 6,500 points after taxes, which I already had, and I'll get 5,000 of those back. That's pretty killer in my book, thanks OP!

Is $50 PSN coupon code in high demand in other countries? I put this stuff on e-bay and the winning bid was $51. wondering why someone would pay $51 for a $50 code? And the winner is from New Zealand while the remaining bidders are from Brazil and Australia. None from the US. I am really puzzled :confused:

wow Sony sucks.... Even their customer service for the sony rewards sucks. I e-mailed asking why I havent gotten my PSN code yet and they respond with this

I mean wtf if my order went through what do I have to try again!?
Sony support for my NX810 TV was similarly crappy.

Never buying another Sony product if there's an alternative again.... I've already removed any CC info from my PSN after they got hacked

I've never heard of anyone breaking a controller playing a NFL game. Ninja Gaiden, plenty, but NFL? :D

He was playing NHL (hockey) not NFL (football)...hockey is quite intense!

in for some music CDs.

Aw crap!! I redeemed 5000 points for a Sony gift card on the day this deal was posted. Can you believe my luck? Anyway to cancel the gift card before it ships?

Maxie

Nope. Its in their TOS

Motherrocker! Redeemed 4000 points a month ago and only have 3600. Just like I redeemed $100 worth of Kmart points right before they had a promotion for double points.

Now you've learned your lesson. Never redeem anything until there's a promotion. Of couse, when you don't redeem, there's never any promo. This has happen to me before too few times. From now on, I just don't redeem anymore and wait for promo. Unless they go bankrupt, there's bond to be a promo one of these years. ;)
