​Worked for the 5000 people who claimed the deal in time. Including myself.

Added zip as it didn't work.

You added £30 but got charged for £25.

Waste of time "The credit card information is not valid. Please check your entries carefully." snide offer anyway as it wont let you add £25.

£25 saved.

I can also confirm I used the offer just now and was only charged 25 for a 30 top up after saving the offer the other day. Thanks Buzz!

Finally it worked I managed to add £30 for £25. I did it through the PS4 if anyone else is still struggling I did nothing differently so I'm not sure what the problem was.

I just redeemed the offer after saving it to my account yesterday - all good.

Yes it does, I claimed the deal with PayPal last night. Just added 30 pounds and logged into PayPal to see only 25 been taken!

if you claimed the deal to PayPal but not used it yet does it still work?

5000 redemptions? Oh come on that wouldn't last very long!

Just got back from family for Christmas hoping to get £30 for £25 - now im not i begrudge buying anything from the store sale because i know im paying £5 more than i should. Nobody gets what they want.

To anyone that did it and didn't get the £5 off, contact PayPal by phone. I talked to a nice woman who gave me a £10 refund because I tried it twice, even though this was a one time thing she said she'd do it for both! So glad it didn't work for me! Haha.

thanks will be useful for the jan sale

Can not believe I missed this. I thought it was valid until Jan 6th :disappointed:

Oh, dave :disappointed:

That's when you have to claim the PayPal offer by (it takes a second to do).

There's obviously no date on using the actual credit though :smile:

Cheers for the cold though, yeah. Merry Christmas.

Think someone said earlier in thread that it was up to a max of 5000 redemption or by the 6th Jan, whichever was soonest

Made the mistake of buying ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom. And it is not compatible with my joystick. Gutted as SFV AND Sfv work fine.

Offer no longer available

Showing "offer no longer available" now for me...

does anyone know if you can just buy items up the value of 25 through the store? I can seem to top up like others through my phone.

Mine still refuses to work

Was a little worried but checked my account and PayPal only took £25 when I topped up £30.

That's when the promotion ends no?

​Look at the pic in the OP, next to the orange £5 it says 'use by 06/01/2017'

thanks was looking at picking up a couple of things from the sale.

I tried first on my phone, but had a few issues. Then tried on my pc and it worked first time.

Thanks for the tip. Only worked for me on PS4. Still made my subscription £5 cheaper so thanks

I feel guilty for being so annoyed by this first-world problem over Christmas :neutral_face:

​I'm not sure you know how offer's work !!

Worked for me. Heat added8)

So frustrating as I wanted to buy bf1 Digital. I can't understand how some can do it fine and dandy yet every time I try it fails.

The problem we are having is when we go to top up, it looks like a lot of people are having the same problem.

Worked when I did it through clicking the link on the deal on my iPad. Thanks. Topped up £30, only charged £25.

Same here I keep going back and trying it, so far 3 browsers, 2 pc's, 1 ps4 and my phone and I keep getting the same message.

I bloody give up! I've accepted the paypal offer and I've tried to add £30 to my wallet via playstation app, 2 phone browsers, laptop and the PS4.

get this message every time "Currently unable to add funds to your account. Please try again later"

clicked link to activate offer. signed into paypal as part of that. psn not working correctly via mobile so used pc to buy £30 credit. Used my default paypal account which was the one I activated the offer on anyway. Shows as £30 in psn wallet. logged into paypal. shows £25 taken. I also did get an email thanking me for using the offer. Thanks :smile:

now just wondering if I can use same psn account to top up from a different paypal account...

Worked, thanks a lot :smiley:

same for me and when I try through a browser I get "Currently unable to add funds to your account. Please try again later." regardless of which browser I use.

Those who are getting this to work how are you adding funds? Phone browser? PS4, PlayStation App, computer? I've tried multiple methods none are working. Just can't add funds at this time showing up.

Worked great. Cheers as always Buzz.

I keep getting "The credit card information is not valid. Please check your entries carefully." when trying to check out with paypal. using the psn website (chrome) and same results with firefox.

Getting the same problem when trying to top through the PS4 too :disappointed:

edit: I signed into paypal and went to the billing agreement and changed the 2nd payment option to my card as it was blank (first one is paypal balance), Now when I try to top up through the web browser I get "Currently unable to add funds to your account. Please try again later." not sure if its just a coincidence the message changed or if psn are having problems but my paypal account as been fine all day I've used it several times. I also tried through the ps4 again but still no luck, I'll try again later or tomorrow.

Worked, thanks

Awesome I topped up 30 and got charged 25.

Heat, worked for me! App notification said £30 but when I checked activity it showed as £25

​lol yes buy 30 for 25 then buy 10 for 10

Just tried, it thinks I am paying with credit card every time :disappointed:

​Same for me , tried all day , wanted to get battlefield 1 while it's in the PlayStation sale but might hold out and see what deals pop up over the next week for a physical copy

can u get £40 for £35?

And the website and no luck.

Just tried via the PS4 and not working

just bought 30 quid of psn credit for what god only knows thanks hot uk deals for making me buy sh#t i dont need

cheers been looking around today and can't find anything cheaper than full price.

​You sure can , however I think they charge the full retail price of about £40 a year , works out cheaper from somewhere like cdkeys

Check ebay £40 for £28.99 I've just bought one there trusted seller aswell, only 5 left though

Quick question, got the kids a ps4 and they want playstation network. Can I use this credit towards a subscription?

Thanks op

Apparently the Sony servers are having major ddos attacks which is why it's not working

Apparently the Sony servers are having major ddos attacks which is why it's not working

​Tried on mobile doing the correct method and also on ps4 and still not working , had this issue before when I tried to add funds to my account via PayPal, will try again tkmorrow

nice deal... post #125 explains exactly what you need to do!

If you can't get it working might be helpful to tell every what you are doing.
Seems using apps is hit and miss but using the PS4 seems to work

Still unable to get this working :neutral_face:

​Done that still rejects card.

Will have to try it when I buy one tomorrow :-)

"Unable to add this PayPal account. Try again in a few moments." When You connect with PP...

Thank you, was after some credit for hitman!

Btw I've just had to look online as I couldn't find how to add funds as a top up - for those in the same situation, it's through settings, then PSN, and then wallet (or something similar) - it doesn't seem to be something that you can do via the store.

Ratchet & Clank and Disgaea 5 for £25, bargain.

Thanks just did 30 and got charged 25

Can't you do it on the PS4? That's how I got it working

Im doing it via iPad and PSN app - is that the same as other users having issues?

I had card error. As per previous posts...... add voucher using the deal button, log in to your PS4 and top up on the console using PayPal. Check your email receipt and you will see £30 deducted £5.

1. Add voucher to your account first before doing anything. use link!
2. use the exact same paypal account to top up
3. top up £30
4. check your paypal email, it will say topped up £30, -£5 = charged £25

5. setting paypal as your default payment can avoid confusion.

Another one it's not working for

Same here...crap!

Same issue here, saying incorrect card on Paypal despite me using it often on other payments.

check my post mate :disappointed:

Guys why do you take a risk by gone through a blind paypal offer. better to get £35 psn card with 5% off from cdkeys. Then it will come to £30.30. You will lost 30p but it's worth because if you topup psn wallet with any payment method, it's non refundable. who knows this paypal offer will work or not. Cheers. merry Christmas guys :sunglasses::sunglasses:

Thanks, worked for me.

Weirdly it will only let me too up £20 or £30

​ I did exactly that- even did it twice as I was buying £70 worth of games and both times, once through a phone and once on my MacBook Pro, it's not worked. I've been charged £30 for both sets of £30.

Topped up £30, was charged £25. Thanks OP :smiley:

This does work - click the 'Get Deal' link - 'Save this Offer' - Add £30 funds to your Playstation Account Wallet using Paypal - email confirmation from Paypal says i was only charged £25. Thanks

£27.99 for Battlefield 1 - £5 = £23 (and £2.01 credit spare)!

Thanks topped up £30 and got charged £25. Merry Christmas.

Same here, worked first time on the PS4 and email from PayPal shows £5 deducted. Thanks op.

Fantastic stuff merry Christmas!

​Don't think o2 is an option anymore. Last sims I ordered didn't have the promo printed on them, just cheaper call rates.

​Cheers. Didn't work on phone at payment stage (invalid card) but went through fine on the ps4.

Thanks, worked for me.

Can you do this more than once?

​Same here, apparently it's a known bug Google it.

Worked fine for me

Click the link here
'Save the deal'.
Went on the Playstation App, topped up my account by £30.
Email instantly through saying they've took £25.

I keep getting check credit card information.
Tried on the ps store app, safari and mercury using Firefox. ☹️ I want to buy ark!!

£60 free £10? Would be good for psn if works

I get “The credit card information is not valid. Please check your entries carefully." hmmm

I did this and it's took £30. No discounts. :disappointed:

The voucher is sitting on my paypal account still saying ready to use.

just worked for me too. bought 30 paod by paypal after saving the deal to my account click 'get deal' then 'save deal', got charged 30 but got a 5 pound discount

You need to log into your sen account, then click your wallet and then add funds. It's a pull down list with various amounts

Was nervous reading all this but just did it and got charged 25 for 30 :smile:

Agree. Makes me wonder what i will have to go through, to deal with the idiots, once the bill for my cancelled O2 refresh airtime shows up on the bank account.

Just read the terms and conditions and noticed there's a cap on this promotion, deal ends as soon as it has been used 5000 times.

Can't see the option for buying credit on mobile site.

Jesus. What I love about that is one idiot is telling him to forget about the £10 and that is account is banned. Just move on, start from stratch and lose all your past purchases. The poor guy has does nothing wrong and you'll always get people replying who can't even follow along at the absolute failure in customer service he's suffered.

O2 credit is better value

Tried and also getting a card error :disappointed:

For everyone getting the card error check your PayPal as I got the error but mine went through.

don't understand this offer. it just shows the offer on the link with no option to purchase etc? does this have to be done on a mobile/computer through PayPal or directly on the PlayStation?

I just don't understand it

I left it for a while and tried again, still getting card error.

I bought the £20, then went to buy another £5 and it won't go through. Seems you can only do it once every so often....

This makes FIFA 17 and Battlefield 1 both £25 each. HEAT!

Probably a fake promo like they always do with PSN

Thanks. Yeah it worked.

Just added £30, checked PayPal immediately and £25 has been taken. Thanks OP.

Where does it say that?

​i know how you feel mate, however who hacked my account did the exact same changed the I'd and password and email also, they made two subaccounts and even though the account was reinstated for me and my access only I initiated two step verification and not on the advise of Sony I found this out my self may I add and further more to this as their has been two subaccounts that I didn't create they were still able to spend the full £120.00 stole from the account. as Sony don't listen unfortunately if you charge back Sony will suspend your account as they believe you accessed you account and made payments I had to await them refunding me the payment their higher escalations are located in Scotland maybe try and speak with them for a resolution if it help? they did assist me after a long old Slog of a battle.

Should be in your email that you receive from PP.

Where does it first show you've got the fiver taken off?

I've chose £30 and I'm on. [Yes agree to add funds to my wallet]

Do you just press yes and hope for the best.

Anyone tried topping up £25 and only paying £20?

Thanks. Worked for me. However, I deleted my PP account from my PSN straight after. I couldn't give a jot if Sony had a 27 step verification with and an almost impossible decryption piece of software in place, I wouldn't trust Sony with any sort of financial information. Props to those who leave their bank/PP/card details on there, but I learned my lesson a few years ago. Add to that, Sony customer service are truly awful.

Did the £30 and paid £25. Cheers!

Tried on my phone about 3 hours and tried just now but still getting the message "The credit card information is not valid. Please check your entries carefully."

Use PayPal all the time , any ideas folks?

So before this thread went live I couldn't see a £25 top-up option. I decided to go £20 then £5 because the T's and C's read as if it's £35 or more during the offer period (rather than a single transaction of £25). I managed to get the £20 but ever since, it's been refusing the £5 top-up because of 'invalid card details'.
Anyone know if I'm on the right lines with the two transactions or do I need to contact PayPal for a refund?

Ta and merry Christmas!

Was worried when Paypal on my phone told me I was charged £30, but when I actually went into Paypal and looked at the transaction it was ok.

so is it £25 for £30 or £20 for £25 or £25 for £5 PayPal credit?

How many times can u do it

​There is a thread or two on here but there is an 02 sim you top up for 10 quid and they double the credit. Then using the play store and lend a quid feature you can add it all to your account.

Same here.
Sony were great. Someone spent all my credit on fifa coins.

It was done early Saturday morning and was sorted on the Monday I think.

This is less than a 17% discount. There are frequent offers for Xbox credit that offer a 20-25% saving (e.g. £50 credit for under £40, or £25 credit for under £20), or sometimes even better.

Same via webpage and app
Just tried via the PS4 and second attempt it worked

Looks like they having issues today

Checked PayPal and it has charged 25 so worked

Of course I just got £75 worth the other day -.-

Great Deal Thanks OP.

I keep getting an error saying "The funds could not be added to your wallet" this is extremely frustrating! Can anybody help?

Can confirm this works with a £30 PapPal topup. Initially my PayPal account displayed that £30 had been taken out as a preapproved payment, 10 minutes later this was updated to £25

I paid using a £15 top up then a £10, i better still get my monies

awesome deal. worked for me.
just seen the witcher 3 season pass is reduced from £19.99 down to £11.99, so ordered that from these funds and feel like I effectively got the season pass for £6.99!! Happy Xmas everybody!

​what is the o2 sim trick that I always see being mentioned?

Cheers worked for me just follow the steps and make sure you activate the voucher before purchase

Similar thing happened to me. Someone deposited almost £100 from my Paypal account into my Sony account and changed my Sony sign on ID so I couldn't log in with my email address. I spotted it straight away as Paypal and Sony had sent me confirmation emails of this being done.

I rang Sony straight away and requested they refund the money as it hadn't been spent yet (I pretty much rang as soon as I got the email). They helped me to reset my sign on ID and said they would investigate the matter. I also let Paypal know who recovered the money for me after concluding their investigations after a week.

Sony being ever so helpful ended up suspending my account as there had been a charge back and they hadn't finished their investigation. I had to ring them a few times on a weekly basis for 2 months in order for them to re-instate the online functions for my PS plus account. I wasn't letting the matter go as I had bought games using the account and didn't want to start afresh. Having your PS plus account suspended severely restricts what you can do - I couldn't even use Netflix, Now TV etc.

After complaining weekly for 2 months I eventually got my account fully functioning again as they came to the conclusion my account had been compromised and I wasn't at fault. It still left me bitter though as I don't understand what took them so long to investigate as Paypal's investigation had been a lot quicker and the money hadn't actually been spent as the funds were still in my account.

To top it all off Sony refused to give me a complimentary 2 months or so for the time I had been without PS Plus. I argued that as I have to pay for PS Plus I should be entitled to an extra couple of months being added to my account as I had been without the service for that time but they truly didn't give a damn.

Same here too. I read the terms it says PayPal will credit your account. Does that mean it will give the £5 in the morning PayPal?

Worked for me. Cheers. Was buying hitman anyway so saved me a fiver!

As long as the 02 sim trick works I just can't vote on stuff like this.
Great for people that use it but I just periodically top up with sims as I know I'll use it for my ps plus year at least.

****. I just bought some stuff from psn and didn't see this beforehand. thanks for the heads up though as will drop some cash in my wallet for a few deals I've been keeping an eye on..

When you use paypal does the money come out your paypal balance?

wish this was xbox :disappointed:

Worked for me, thanks OP. Heat added.

Here you go

https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/get-help/help-library/my-account/access-and-details/ps4--2-step-verification/

I just topped up £30 and only got £30. This was despite activating the offer on PayPal previously. Boooo.

Almost bought the £35 credit for £31.XX deal the other day but missed and it sold out. So glad this offer has come along.
:smiley: added, thanks OP!

Cheers Buzz. Will pick up Tomb Raider & Firewatch. Merry Christmas.

Invalid card for me too.

I have no internet access at the moment at my place so can't access through PS4, new internet comes on 5th of Jan - any other way around it?

Did the same for me on mobile, but worked when doing it through the ps4, cheers OP

WHen I try to check out it says that my credit card infomation is incorrect but I have checked and it is right... also, why would it need my credit card info if it is being paid via paypal?

So, would I be able to make a purchase of 32.99 for example?

Yeah invalid card for me also, now message has changed to 'currently unable to add funds to your account, try again later' nothing has changed since the last time I funded this way other than maybe a lot more people are trying to do it before Xmas lunch

Think you may also have to activate offer on PayPal first before purchasing

weird thing is ive got the ask for password at checkout but it added the money with out asking it ??

nothing extra here ??

Heat, topped up £30 and got charged £25.Cheers.

Where would I go to set this up?

can confirm topping up 30 does work

I personally wouldn't use PayPal or a bank card ever again! my account got hacked last month and the worst experience ever had to battle with Sony to get a refund since someone stole the full amount and used it on FIFA 17 points PayPal wouldn't refund me dispite it being fraud as when you use PayPal you agree to a user agreement it took weeks to get a refund from Sony and count less hours on the phone Sony take over an hour to answer on occasions and its just not worth the hassle to if you still want to use PayPal go ahead as it is a real S#!t experience!

Nice, may top up for Horizon Zero Dawn.

you have to click on the transaction on the PayPal menu to see the £5credit.

Maybe a stupid question but would it work if you added £35 for £30?

​Same here

how do you manage to do that? I can't find the option in account management, only 20 or 30

Thanks for sharing :sunglasses:

Saying my card isn't valid even though it's linked to my PayPal and I use it regularly !!

this didn't work for me..added 30 got charged 30?!

Invalid card here too. Lame.

cold, have to use it within 2 weeks

​lol. yeh gonna give that a miss! oh well..

Happy Christmas Buzz :smile: have some heat!

I did.

I still get the same options. £20 or £30. However as others have said, £30 they only took 25 so all good.

Added £30 and only charged £25 Thanks :smiley:

Merry Christmas everyone

Yep £30 for £25 worked for me

Yep more confirmation here, topped up £30 paypal only took £25 quality stuff. Thanks OP

heat added using this towards final fantasy! Merry Christmas!

thanks for posting heat added

Can only select £20 from a drop down list when adding funds from my phone!???

How is everyone else doing this?

Just top up with £30 but it only charges you £25 good deal!

I can't see a £25 denomination in the playstation store. There are £20 and £30 but no £25. Anyone else manage to redeem for £25?

May do this a seller on eBay sold me £25 for £20.99 last night so got Tomb raider but there still a fair few games I want.Thanks for the heads up

Thanks Buzz :smile:

can't argue with that! Good stuff.
