Buy Cheap PlayStation Plus Subscriptions
Since the new PS Plus service launched in June 2022, we've seen a shift in how PS5 and PS4 owners can buy subscriptions at retail. The old 1-Month, 3-Month and 12-Month PS Plus gift cards have been scrapped in favour of rebranded PlayStation Wallet Top-Up cards that equate to the values of Sony's revamped PS Plus tiers.
This means that buying discounted Wallet Top-Ups and using those funds to purchase a PS Plus subscription via your console is now the cheapest way to get in on the action. We're keeping on top of the best prices available and will regularly update the links below, saving you from having to scour the internet yourself!
UK
Here are the best options to pick up discounted PS Plus subscription vouchers in the UK. ShopTo and CDKeys regularly offer discounts, while larger retailers like Amazon tend to stick to full price for the majority of the year, only offering discounts on special occasions:
PlayStation Store £32 (3-month PS Plus Extra)
PlayStation Store £40 (3-month PS Plus Premium)
PlayStation Store £84 (12-month PS Plus Extra)
US
Things are a little different in the US, with the new pre-payment cards factoring in tax and therefore not directly matching Sony's advertised PS Plus pricing. The four pre-payment cards available are $30, $55, $70, and $110 – so as an example, the latter equates to a 12-month PS Plus Extra subscription at $99.99 plus tax.
Unlike the UK, these cards aren't usually offered at a discount all year-round, but occasional sales do see prices come down. Keep checking back!
Amazon
You can pick up all of the new PS Plus cards at Amazon, although don't expect any discounts here unless a sale is taking place.
Best Buy
You can also find them at Best Buy:
Buy Cheap PlayStation Wallet Top-Ups
If you're wanting to pick up regular amounts of credit for your PlayStation Wallet to use towards all digital products including games and PS Plus subscriptions, this section of our guide is for you.
By grabbing discounted credit below, you'll be able to top up your account and buy digital games for less. Remember that these Wallet Top-Ups can also be used to purchase PS Plus subscriptions, so they're extremely versatile.
UK
ShopTo
ShopTo will send your Wallet Top-Up via a digital code that can be redeemed on the PlayStation store. These codes are almost always under RRP, meaning you can get your digital products for less, and can even be sent to a friend as a makeshift Gift Card.
CDKeys
It's exactly the same over at CDKeys. Buying the products below will give you a code that can be redeemed in your account or sent to a friend. Save yourself some money!
The Game Collection
Just like the two stores above, these discounted codes can be used on any digital products on your own account, or can be sent to a friend.
Amazon
If you're not familiar with the stores above and would rather shop with a brand you've more than likely encountered before, Amazon's always a good bet. It doesn't often offer discounts on its PlayStation codes, but if you already have an Amazon account and want to get credit ASAP, you can't really go wrong here.
GAME
Another well-known store in the UK is GAME, but expect to find their PlayStation Top-Ups at full price.
US
CDkeys
With CDkeys, buying any of the products below will give you a code that can be redeemed in your account or sent to a friend. Use the discounted credit towards games or PS Plus subscriptions to save money!
Amazon
Amazon's a good choice if you're looking to shop at a store you're more familiar with. Codes are usually sold at full retail price but do occasionally go on sale, usually for special occasions like Black Friday.
Best Buy
Another popular pick is Best Buy, although cards are usually sold at full price.
Playasia
You could also opt to shop with Playasia, where you can typically save a whole cent!

- Canada
- France
- Italy
- Poland
- Spain

Money-Saving Tips
Never Pay Full Price Again - How to Save Money on Every PS5, PS4 Game
By taking advantage of discounted Wallet Top Ups (you'll find plenty of options on this page up above), you can save on every single digital purchase you make on PlayStation 5 and PS4. Let us talk you through it.
In the example below, we're wanting to buy a Digital Deluxe edition of Horizon Forbidden West on PS5, which costs £79.99 on the PlayStation Store online and on console. One method of purchasing the game is to simply pay directly through the store using your debit or credit card, which will naturally cost you the full price of £79.99.
Method Two, however, takes advantage of a discounted Wallet Top Up. Here, we grabbed an £80 voucher from a retailer, which was discounted at £69.85. We added these funds to our account and paid for the game that way, meaning we only paid £69.85, but now have a copy of the game and an extra £0.01 (hooray!) in our account for next time.
It can work when the numbers don't match up, too. In this example, Ghostwire: Tokyo costs £59.99 to buy outright. We pick up a discounted £45 voucher, which won't cover the game in full. But still, rather than spending the full £59.99, we still make significant savings!
Best Deals on PS Plus Subscriptions
While buying, activating and renewing your PlayStation Plus subscription on your console might be the most standard way of doing things, you can save a good chunk of money each year by picking up discounted Wallet Top-Ups online and using those funds against a subscription.
Higher up on this very page, we've shared a selection of retailers who offer discounted credit that you can use towards a subscription. Remember, you can also stack several years of PlayStation Plus subscriptions at one time, so if want to secure a cheaper subscription for years to come, you can use multiple Wallet Top-Ups.

If only there was a link for PSNow cards, but we know why, haha.
@Kooky_Daisuke Sony had/has (not sure if it's still a thing) where a Platinum could be cashed into $10 credit. It sure would be nice if that was still a thing in case it was discontinued.
It's ironic now, since Sony was the one to bring backwards compatibility with PS2 for PS1 and PS3 with PS1 & 2 with Xbox shying from that on the 360... and now Xbox is toted the 'King of Backwards Compatibility'. If that's what it takes to get Sony back on reclaiming that title, I'm for it.
In the US, Costco has 4 $25 PSN cards in a bundle, for $90 (June 2022) - available online with digital codes sent via email. Members only.
For me this makes a lot of sense all round especially for those that don't like having bank card details on everything. I remember a couple years ago when I first started a plus sub with a PS plus card purchased from a physical store thinking to myself why not just let me get a PS plus sub with top up wallets cards too. I think it makes it so much easier for new subbers with more options to get a plus sub now. Smart move, more options is always a smart move
I save £10 to £15 on almost every game I buy, just by getting the physical version. 🤷🏻♂️
GameStop GC’s go on sale fairly often (at least bimonthly) at grocery stores like Kroger chains … and GS will accept their own credit even online to purchase PSN, Xbox, Nintendo, and Steam GC’s.
Costco.com features both PSN & Xbox 4-packs of $25 GC’s every day for $89.99.
Rite-Aid stores in the USA will offer approx. 16% (in “bonus cash”) of a gaming card’s face value about 3 months or so. This “bonus cash” can be used for any tangible NON-REGULATED merchandise in their stores … which goes a LONG way if your “bonus cash” was acquired within 30 days of holiday-related candy heading to clearance @ 75% off.😁
It’s wise to track prices for “Eneba” on your favorite savings-oriented websites. Their flash sales will usually knock 15% or so off a PSN card’s face value … and that’s AFTER Eneba’s commission & insurance addons to the original vendor’s discounted price.
Also if you live (& register) your PSN account in a USA state without sales tax, then you’ll avoid that extra 10% hike when purchasing titles from the PS online store.
