For the ones who didn't stack a bunch of PS Plus subscription before they switched over to the new tier system:

If you were on PS Plus and are now under PS Plus "Essential", Sony is giving you the option to upgrade to PS Plus "Extra" or "Premium" for a flat fee of $100/$150 no matter how many years of "Essential" subscription you have left.

So what you want to do if you are interested in getting into "Extra" or "Premium" for cheap is buy a couple 12 months Playstation Plus Essential for $45 after coupon 10PAYPAL (selecting PP as payment. One time use but it look like they go by IP address...I was able to buy a couple using different devices on different networks. Buy like 2x12months with the coupon then another 2x12 months with a device off Wi-Fi as apparently the cap for the coupon is $108 thanks @dopeyman06 for the tip! ) and then upgrade to Playstation Plus Extra for a $100 flat fee (or Premium for $150) no matter how many years of Essential subscription you have remaining.

Do NOT buy the old PS Plus cards as Sony disabled the option to stack the subscriptions on those so they are only for one year, first time subscribers.

(I bought subscriptions until 12.2028 then upgraded to "Extra" see pic below)

OK let me try to explain again:

You had PS Plus that was converted to PS Plus "Essential" under the new PS Plus Subscription 3 Tiers system. You can add 12 months of PS Plus Essential for $45 from the link above (instead of $59).

Now Sony is letting you upgrade your PS Plus "Essential" subscription to "Extra" or "Premium" tier for a $100/$150 flat fee (which otherwise would cost you $40/$60 extra a year) no matter how many years of "Essential" subscription you have left . So stack as many years of PS Plus "Essential" as you can and the cheaper it will be to get the "Extra" or "Premium" Tiers (the break even point is at around 2 years, anything after that makes the tier upgrade cheaper and cheaper)
You can stack membership for any amount of years (not sure if there is a limit). Instead of paying $100+ per year with the new subscription model you can just pay 45 per year and then convert the membership with $100. Example you buy 10 years at $45 for $450 and upgrade for $100 totals $550. If you pay $100 at original price you saved $450
I'm confused

It won't work if you're using your wifi cause it's still tethered to your IP address. Turn off your wifi and it should work. It worked for me.

The 10PAYPAL code won't work for anything over $108. So I purchased 2 years via my computer. And another 2 years with my iPhone with the wifi disabled.

Were you able to stack all 4 years on your account?

If you're confused, this is how it works:

All PS Plus subscriptions have been converted to Sony's new tier model of Essential, Extra, and Premium (lowest to highest). Each tier has different prices and perks.

If you were converted into the Essential plan, you can buy this subscription to add another year (or more) to whatever time you have left remaining on your current subscription. From there, you can pay a flat fee with Sony's promotion for upgrading to Extra or Premium and it'll apply to your entire subscription window.

Some are mentioning $100 flat fee for the Premium upgrade, but mine is showing $85. Not sure what the price is based on, but it seems to be prorated based on how much time you have left in your subscription.

Yeah I was able to stack all of them so mine is until 12.2028. I think the $100 is prorated "up to $100" You said yours is showing $85. When does your current subscription ends?.

Flat fee for PS Premium is $150 compared to $100 for Extra. If they are charging you $85 flat fee if u upgrade to Premium for the remaining 1.5 years that's basically their regular price (PS Premium is $60 extra/year x 1.5 = $90. ) so this deal is worth it if u stack 3+ years of Essential first.

they wouldn't even let me check out with 15 of them, they emailed me thinking I was fraud. lol I had to send a photo of me holding up my drivers license and then told me "next time if you ever buy more than 2-3 you need to contact another department at cdkey, (a commercial person)" but I was perfectly happy with my 15 years @ 23.

my friend said I was stupid.

bwahahah. I lucked out. and people are even speculating that MAYBE crunchy roll may be added one day to the highest tier.

Tried to purchase 4 of these from Eneba and they seem to have blocked me Big Grin

I used a new email, new payment method, new IP (without VPN). I did email verification on their site as well as phone verification. Despite all this, they still declined.

Any other site I can use to purchase these ?

I must be doing something wrong because Sony is not allowing me to extend my subscription beyond 3/28/2025. Added a code that should have extended it to 2026, it recognized the code as valid, but wouldn't extend it. Keeps saying I'll be charged $59.99 on 3/28/2025.

It is based on your remaining time.

Did you do this successfully?

I'm considering. My new "essential" expires in 331 days. In PS it says to go to "premium" would only cost $54 to upgrade for the remainder. BUT what this deal is saying is buy more "essential" years and stack them FIRST. Then go pay PS to migrate to Premium. Does it really give Premium for all the years I stack first? Also will it still be $54 or should I expect that to increase to the max $100?? Considering adding 4 years and trying to make sure I don't screw this up. Typically don't stack the ps subscription much

Where did u get the code from? Make sure it's a PS Plus "Essential" code like from the link I posted and not an old PS Plus one that you can't stack.
