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)

Your comment cannot be blank.

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

So yourself Telling me i can get the top tier Service like i was receiving before? If so then why do tiers, just leave it alone. Also ive been trying to get a PS5 for about 9 month. All of sudden I'm able to get one around the time this new Tier system comes out. I think I'm canceling my order
I think it's a better deal now since they are putting effort into it now. Imo I like older games

Sorry if someone said this I didn't read all the comments
But
This looks like what Xbox did with their 1 dollar upgrade to ultimate, except Sony is cashing in 100 per upgrade and letting you cap at as high as you want. Smart! the lifespan of a system is usually like 5 years so Id he hesitant to max out more than 7
It's a bummer I've had a psn subscription for years but now it doesn't seem worth it especially because the games available on the "pass" are meh, I'm spending more and more time on my Xbox which I love game pass is great!

Quote from SmilingArm9300 :
if you were a PS Now subscriber who played PC streaming, you now pay $120/yr instead of $60

you are well aware of this, yet you choose not to share that.
please stop misleading people.
You are responding to something other than he said and quoting him as if he's arguing something he's not.

The original person complained that the old Playstation Plus was increased in price. It was NOT. That's a fact. And that's what the FreedomPenguin stated; no price hike for PS+.

You are talking about PlayStation Now, which was something completely different than PlayStation Plus. But FreedomPenguin is absolutely correct in that PlayStation Plus is exactly the same as it was before this change; same service and same price. It is now just renamed to PlayStation Plus Essential.

PlayStation Now has been discontinued and its services rolled into the higher tiers of PlayStation Plus.

If someone before wanted to download and play PlayStation 4 games, they could do it with PS Now. Now they would need a PS+ Extra or Premium tier. If someone wanted to stream games before, they needed PS Now and now need PS+ Premium.

For those who do not want or need streaming, they will actually save money on the new service **if** they also usually have a PS Plus subscription. For those who want to stream games, they will pay the same if they had PS+ before and more if they did not have PS+.

I'm personally coming out way ahead on this new service because I bought a 3 month PS Now subscription before the switchover and it converted my PS+ subscription to PS Plus Premium until 2027.

Quote from FreedomPenguin :
thats false. they refunded me several times, I was even sketch. my friend spent 100 on Fortnite and asked for refund said his daughter spent it, they refunded.

so I did the same. they refunded (I dont have a kid) but our last friend in the trio, he did it, and they told him pound sand lololol. what's funny about this is, hes the brokest of all 3 of us. me and my other friend are pretty content, I only did it because he did it.

but in all seriousness, they've refunded me games, etc. never had an issue.
So you committed fraud. Cool story bro 👍I'd be careful on stuff like that because they could ban your account.

Nope

They can just say no

Fraud is doing chargeback

Asking for a refund is not bannable

Awesome deal on the upgrade. But I have most of the games for PS4/PS5 already and I'm not into older systems games. I'll be a waist to upgrade to premium.

So is this still working? I see mixed comments about stacking working/not working. If the stacking still works--which should I buy and which should I avoid?
