Types of PlayStation Gift Cards

PlayStation provides different types of gift cards, depending on the service you want to take advantage of. While one of these can be used interchangeably, others can’t—it's important to recognize which one you have and what you can use it for. The table below highlights each type along with its purpose:

Note that PlayStation used to offer a PlayStation Now subscription service, along with service-specific gift cards. Sony has recently pulled these gift cards since PlayStation Now is merged with PlayStation Plus as of June 2022.

The gift cards for all services are further divided into two types:

1. Digital gift card—It is delivered instantly via email, along with the gift card details
2. Physical gift card—The delivery typically takes between 1–7 days but can take even longer, depending on your location. The 12-digit gift card code is hidden beneath a foil on the back of the card

Earn by Playing Games With Mode Mobile

Fortunately for you, Mode Mobile provides the most reliable way to earn PlayStation and many other gift cards. You can complete your favorite everyday activities and earn a variety of attractive rewards by using the company’s complementary products—the Mode Earn App and the Mode Earn Phone.

How Does the Mode Earn App Work?

Once you download the Mode Earn App, the platform will award you points for playing your favorite games and using your phone for other activities. You can exchange your points for gift cards or in-game items for some of the most popular games, including:

• PUBG
• Fortnite
• Free Fire
• Mobile Legends

These aren’t the only redemption options—you can exchange your points for other gift cards (from Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Target, Starbucks, and more), crypto, stocks, or cash via PayPal. Here are some of the other tasks you can complete to earn points:

• Listening to music
• Reading the news
• Surfing the internet
• Checking the weather
• Locking your phone

The Mode Earn App also frequently introduces booster deals, which can further increase your earnings. The current limited-time deals include:

• Watching ads
• Installing and playing games on your phone
• Taking surveys

You can earn up to $600 a year by using the app alone. Download it for free from Google Play and start earning!

How To Redeem PlayStation Gift Cards for Cash

If you don’t need your PlayStation gift card anymore, you can list it for sale and try to get the remaining balance in cash. 

Some platforms that allow users to buy and sell used gift cards include:

• Raise
• Gameflip
• ClipKard 
• CardCash

Keep in mind that you will rarely get the full value of the card and will have to sell it at a discount.

How To Check Your PlayStation Gift Card’s Balance

Have you decided to cash out your gift card or are worried that you won’t be able to cover the purchase in the PlayStation store? You can avoid potentially embarrassing situations by keeping tabs on your card’s balance.

The method of checking how much balance you have on your PlayStation gift card is slightly unconventional as, unlike most other companies, PlayStation doesn’t have a dedicated section for checking gift cards’ balance. All you need to do is follow the same steps as you would when redeeming the gift card. Upon entering the card's number, a confirmation message containing details of your current gift card balance will pop up. 

If you would like to proceed and add the funds to your PlayStation wallet, follow the prompts—otherwise, click on Cancel.

You can also check the balance by contacting the customer support service at 1-800-345-7669 or visiting a PlayStation store in person and asking the cashier to swipe your card.

How To Get PS4 Gift Cards for Free

If you are a fan of video games, getting a free PS4 gift card would certainly be a dream come true. Fortunately, this option is not so far-fetched, as long as you know where to find free gift card deals. Here are some legitimate methods you can try to get a free PS4 gift card:

1. Visit survey websites—You get questionnaires to fill out, and for answering each set of questions, you earn points. While such platforms generally are authentic, they come with several pain points. The questions can be aimed at a specific demographic group, and you may not fit the requested profile. Another drawback is the low payout. You will have to toil for hours before you earn a decent amount of points
2. Participate in social media giveaways—Veteran gaming blogs are typically the first to know about any PS gift card promotions. You should bookmark their websites and be on the lookout so you’re not left out when an opportunity to participate presents itself. The chances of you winning a giveaway are low and can get only lower as more people sign up for it, but it is still a credible option, and you never know when your luck might shine
3. Sign up for reward-based apps—These apps require you to complete various tasks, such as watching ads or playing specific games, to earn points which you can exchange for gift cards. You should be careful when choosing a reward-based platform, though, as not all of them are profitable or reliable enough. You should also make sure that the redemption items include your desired gift card or at least offers cash or prepaid gift cards, such as Visa and Mastercard gift cards, which you can use to purchase other items
