Can you get PS Stars points on multiple accounts if you buy games on more then one?

I pre order the metal gear collection on my other account and the app didn't update with extra stars? Is this a case where you have to wait for the game to launch to receive them? To stop people making pre orders to gain star's and then cancelling their pre order?

Yeah, you should receive it after the release

Sony states that a special PS Stars campaign that gives you the opportunity to earn points will be coming your way, within a week of the respective game's official release.

Who actually gaf about this stuff?

I just cashed in points today that will be used towards BG3.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Who actually gaf about this stuff?

I did, since I'm a couple points short of claiming €20 on PSN.

I'm spending money anyway, so it's nice that Sony is handing out some kind of reward that's more than just a picture for my profile.

 

[Thief1987]

Why not? It's a free money. Change, but still free.

Oh, that is useful. I thought it was just digital collectibles.

 

[Kerotan]

Nah it's free money.

 

[Kerotan]

So what I'm wondering if I pre order it now but they do a special campaign a week before launch will it unlock for me considering I pre ordered before the campaign began?

I understand they give points for simply spending the 60 euro on the pre order but I'm guessing like you said that comes after launch.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Nah it's free money.

Not really. If you simply waited for sales, you'd end up with much more money in the end instead of spending the most money for a few cents on the dollar.

Even buying things digitally on sale will get you points, points can be exchanged for games or PSN £5/20 stuff.

It should, they did that for GoW Ragnarok

The issue I've had is that the campaigns are usually for the base versions of games and if you purchase a different tier, it doesn't count towards the campaign. Either that or it isn't recognizing a pre-order as a purchase. I've had it happen 2-3 times.

Oh, that is useful. I thought it was just digital collectibles.

I'm almost at my second $20 of PSN credit. It's not the most generous program but it does add up. Also, this was pretty cool:

I got one $20. Just get the $5 credits now.

GoW R is the only game I’ve done a preorder on so I can only speak for that experience. They even put a notice up on the refund page explaining the campaign would would activate retroactively.

Maybe they only made an exception for that one game because it was early in the Stars life.

Yeah, I really think it has more to do with the edition of the game as the campaigns usually call out the "Standard Edition". Most recently was Street Fighter.

At worst, it'll take you a bit more time to get to the same point.

But it's a little extra regardless.

I used Sony Rewards for years and this has been ok. I’ve earned around $30 in credit. Cashed in for $5 whenever I could. Nintendo’s gold coins are nice when you get $2-$3 off a purchase. Idk if I’d praise this because it feels like I spend $100’s for a little bit back. My level has been stuck at 4 and I’m at the very tip of being at level 5.

Do people care what your trophy case looks like? It feels so niche. Ape Escape and Jumping Flash are cool, but I can’t say I’d represent PlayStation as a whole. It’s like searching for a great classic PS gem and all you get are results for the first game or some mediocre entry. It has potential, but it barely hits the mark.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Im a part of this but never took it seriously, will try to get this and ms rewards into the routine.

I recently discovered you get gold points for physical switch games too and I have like 12 I never redeemed, most are expired however by now.

 

[RagnarokIV]

MicroSoft Rewards but you got it from wish.com

 

[Kerotan]

Yes really. I haven't changed my buying habits at all. I still buy games Day 1 which I would have bought anyway. The next 3 are mw3, Spiderman 2 and metal gear collection.

I still buy the games I would have bought on sale. I still buy my PS premium subscription on sale. The only MTX I've bought are for destiny and fall guys to buy the season passes or content keys.

For all of those purchases above I get rewarded with stars. It's basically free money because I can cash them in for credit I will be spending anyway.

 

[cash_longfellow]

I’ve claimed a total of $20 so far without actually going out of my way to get it. Probably the best rewards program I’ve been a part of.

Level 4 is max currently. Level 5 exists (data mining) but it’s not known if it’s a puzzle to solve, invite only or just not live yet.

I've claimed €40 and like you haven't spent extra. It's a small reward kinda like Tesco loyalty points but every little helps as they say.

I pre ordered FF16, RE4 and crisis core and never received any points at all. Only game I pre ordered and got points for was god of war. Any game I didn't pre order I always get the reward points like FF pixel collection. I've now stopped pre ordering any games on the store, it's kinda shitty how you get penalised for pre ordering.

Hmmm. I'm hearing mixed messages about this.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Yeah this is bullshit :

- Not getting points if you buy the "deluxe" editions of games when the task says to buy the "normal" one.

- Buying a game before the task actually goes online.

Happened to me with Re4RE and Exoprimal.

Why ? I bought the games (the more expensive versions to boot), shouldn't I be eligible to get the points?

For example, an August task says to buy Exoprimal - I bought the game on release day mid-July and I'm getting "punished" for doing so ?

 

[PanzerCute]

Basically, every 120€/$ you spend you get a 5€/$ voucher. Not the best but still cool.

It’s basically half of what MS rewards gets you. But it’s better than nothing.

Yep. Free money is free money, and really it’s Sony paying us to play games.

 

[drganon]

Redeemed the $5 dollar thing and bought quake since it was only $3.99.

Don't forget you can get a good bit more doing those monthly campaigns.
