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.

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.

Update: it works now! Wasn't working for me yesterday, but just now I was able to stack 2 years for $30 each despite having had a 1-year subscription which I cancelled yesterday for a full refund.

Can you explain further… what the process or order is to get 5 years / $60 per year… do I purchase 5x $29.99 first before a conversion? Then how to convert?
Just buy one year at a time for $29.99. Once you have as many years as you want click over to the Extra or Premium tab on the same link and you can convert all those years for a one-time fee of $69.99 or $89.99. It offered the same upgrade deal in the Subscription Management section too.

I have no interest in Premium over Extra right now, but for $20 I rolled the dice on it getting better or eventually transitioning into something else.

It's really random. I haven't had ps plus in about 2 years and it's not active for me. Keeps showing up as 59.99.

Does PS have anything to compete with Ultimate Gamer Pass? Hate signing up just for free games and MP since my kids do not do MP
Not really. Xbox gamepass surpasses this my miles. You're better off getting deals on games and buying the physical media. Not only that but if you have several Xboxes in the house, Xbox let's your share your membership within the household.

Can this somehow be gifted? Like if my buddy needs PS+ but I don't know his login?
I'm guessing no.

I'm guessing this deal is only valid for NEW Playstation Plus accounts or Playstation Plus accounts that have been allowed to lapse (for some period of time) and those accounts are RETURNING to Playstation Plus.

So if the person has an active Playstation Plus account now - then this deal does not apply to them.

Question about the benefits for the monthly games.

Are they yours to keep forever when you download? Or only for as long as you have the membership?

So once your membership expires, they dont let you access the free monthly games anymore?

No you won't be able to play the games you received for free during your membership subscription without a current membership, it locks you out of the games.

What are the steps to upgrade for $70? I thought that was an Xbox thing
After stacking the $30/yr Essentials, I went to the Subscription Management page on my account where I could select Extra or Premium to see the upgrade options.
