How To Redeem PlayStation Network Vouchers or Gift Cards

If you are a PlayStation gamer from Tanzania, Kenya, or Uganda then you must have already noticed that Sony does now support your region. This means you probably opened your PSN account and selected another region for your address which is usually either United States, United Kingdom, or United Arab Emirates.

If you did so, to make purchases from the PlayStation Store, your Visa card, Mastercard, or Paypal region should match the PSN region of your account otherwise you won’t be able to make the payments.

This is where PSN Vouchers/gift cards come in. They offer a way to make payments and subscribe to PSN services bypassing payment methods by debit cards or Paypal.

PlayStation Store Voucher Restrictions

The voucher code must be for the same region as your account. If you have a physical card, look for a printed flag indicating its country.
In order to redeem some subscription vouchers, you may need a valid payment method on the account.
PlayStation®Plus trial vouchers can only be redeemed on accounts that have not previously subscribed to PlayStation Plus.
It is not possible to transfer funds or content between accounts, so make sure to redeem your code on the correct account.

Go to PlayStation Store

Log into your account on your PS4 and access the PlayStation Store. Make sure your PS4 has an internet connection.

Scroll to the bottom of the sidebar

From the PlayStation 4’s Store menu, scroll down to the second-to-last option, “Redeem Codes,” and select it.

Carefully enter the code and select Redeem.

Your voucher has a 12-digit code that you can now enter into this box. Just enter the codes no need to add spaces or dashes, add as it is. Hit continue when you’re done.

The credit or content is now applied to your account.

Once the code has been confirmed and checked, the value assigned to the code will be added as credit to your PlayStation Store wallet, ready to be spent. If it was a membership or digital game code it should be assigned to your account.
