EU: Spend 50 on PlayStation Store in March, get a 10 voucher to spend in April
- Thread starter LordOfLore
- Start date
It should come as a notification on your PS4, the only thing you'll get as an email is a confirmation that you spent 50 and will receive the code.
Not to mention there are people who already received their codes.
I don't either (well I get emails for when I add funds or make a purchase..but nothing else,never have..and they don't go to my spam folder either).
I didn't get an email stating I qualified (when I clearly have). I just changed my email address in case that might help spur something.
I wish it was still going to be delivered via a notification on the PS4, as I feel it's far more likely I'll get that. Still...you'd think they could just top up your wallet without the actual need for a code at all.

My account's Region 2 and mostly follows UK/EU region, also haven't received a code via notifications tab OR the email.
Not that I'm looking forward to buying anything, but getting something is better than nothing right? RIGHT?

Eh, but on AskPlaystation they wrote codes will be delivered via mail :S
My suggestion is...don't bother. I mean, the game is totally worth the price and it's great, but if you have Plus, it will end on the service soon or later, since all DoubleFine games were on Plus.

It really is amazing that they are struggling to do something so simple.

Eh, It's only 12 to preorder and comes with a theme. That's low enough for me to not bother waiting for a year to play it.
(Never played it though, otherwise I would wait as well I guess)

Just checked my PSN, wasn't in town and I got the credit to my Indian account.
This credit expires in April I believe.

Considering how they've handled this promotion, I highly doubt they'll have the forethought to extend the pre-order discount duration of Cosmic Star Heroine seeing as it got delayed at the last minute.
It got delayed? Well that's bittersweet, I guess

Lol @ Sony really taking the piss with this one.
The goal-posts just keep moving..
April 6th-7th..
April 9th...
April 10th...
Where is the code? They definitely have a list of everyone who qualified for the voucher, hence the email sent saying you've qualified. Bung all those people onto a mailing list and mass-send unique codes to the email addresses registered with those PSN ID's...
Email marketing really isn't hard Sony, I do it for a living.
EDIT: Yes the Easter sale expires on the 26th. But the code must be used in April... what if they don't send it till the 25th/26th? A lot of people are going to miss out because of their mistakes.

I get that we're all a little frustrated, but surely we can collectively realize that if it were in fact as simple as just emailing codes to a mail list, that they would have already done it.

I don't think they do yet. I should have qualified but I've not had an email or code yet. I was very late in qualifying though. Some people got emails before the qualifying period was over (On the 30th I think). I reckon they messed up by putting the deadline too early, or calculating too early, and now they are having to back track. Maybe that or time zone calculation issues.
Do you realize that after the easter sale there will be another sale?
Anyway I think that sony will send codes before the easter sale is over, there is plenty of time.
Sony advertised a promotion
Sony gave a date to receive promotion.
Sony failed to give promotion.
Why should we give a shit next time they run a promotion?

Maybe you shouldnt, perhaps you should boycott them over this 10 quid offer that is 2 days late arriving to your inbox?

True, there is some validity to that.
Kinda weird how they've struggled with it for over a week though.
If PS5 was coming out tomorrow with a £50/$50 discount (never gonna happen I know), they'll make sure everyone got that email no doubt.
That's very unfair if people who qualified on the 29th/30th.. Hope they rectify this all, cause it's been a big mess.

Over a week? So far its been 2 days.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, but why the hell can't they just add the credit to our wallets?

I think because of the huge sale that happened last month, they didn't expect so many people to buy so much. I mean, almost everyone I speak to who has a ps4 bought so much from the deals to be eligible.

Yeah, but why all this shit with codes being giving through notifications on your system and later through emails. I don't mind waiting a bit to get the credit, but just add it to my wallet.

Just got my code in through an email. Guess they're starting to send them out now.

Didn't get the initial eligibility email but just got my voucher.
Also, while the voucher has an expiry you can redeem it and the £10(or euros) gets added to your wallet which doesn't expire. At least thats what happens when the US has this type of promotion.

I imagine their official line is they decided to not do this because it could theoretically break the wallet limit. Yes, according to EULA there's a wallet limit. I wonder how high it is.
The unofficial line is, of course, that the part of the whole deal is that you are supposed to be able to miss the trigger for your 10.

Got my email. Decided to pick up Her Majesty's SPIFFING and Absolute Drift because that seems like a good use of free money.
Yes, 10 minutes ago
It's weird, the email does say that you need to redeem and spend it in April, but i also cant imagine that Sony would just take the money out of the virtual wallet again
