Not working for returning subscribers. Mine expired about 6 months and it's still pulling up full price at checkout despite showing up in the deals page.
Ha, just my luck, I bought this the other day for $15 more.
FINALLY! Thank you OP!

I am an returning customer but the PS Plus expired in Nov 2022. I was able to stack 2. Had to login using my PC, then click on "Join Playstation Plus" and then saw the 29.99 price. When I tried to purchase the second one and stack, gave me credit card expired error. Was able to pay using paypal and checkout.

No matter if I use the app, desktop browser, mobile browser, sign-in or sign out, the deal will not appear for me. Had a 12-month pre-pay expired in October. Any advice?

Same. Tried them all. Makes no sense.

I'm giving my kid a PS5 for Christmas and I'm trying to learn how all of this works. If I buy this, is it all tied to my account or can I share it with him when I set him up after he gets his PS5?

It's tied to whatever account you buy it on (if buying on the PlayStation store) unless you buy the 12 month card in a store (like Best Buy) and then give it to him to activate.

My PS+ Extra expired last month and I was able to add 5 years of Essential for $30/year and upgrade to Extra for $70.

What are the steps to upgrade for $70? I thought that was an Xbox thing

Won't allow me to stack either. Guess Sony only wants customers who are due for renewal.

Here's a plan to maximize this, if you can get the deal.

You can get the price to $31.78 per month for Premier. All you have to do is stack 50 years for $30 and then upgrade to Premier for $90 for a total of $1590. Sony may be a large conglomerate of Taco Bell at that time, but at least you may also be able to get a taco deal.

I cannot seem to get this deal despite the fact I have not had PS+ since August 2021.

I already have ps plus. That would make sense.
Same here, mine expired last month. I was able to purchase it twice. Now I have PS+ for two years.
