This trick no longer works sony has screwed the players again I am just going to let my subscription expire until they ever offer me a discount to come back!
After 25 years with PlayStation, I will no longer support this company due to their anti-consumerism price gouging the discount is not a discount it’s just normal price after the price hike I’ve been around since the first PlayStation I will no longer buy anything Sony or PlayStation
You may be right. There's no harm in cancelling it either because they removed the option to tick off auto renew. So cancelling it replaces that because it doesn't cancel it right away. Even after you hit cancel it'll let you know how many months you have left. It's not an actual cancel.
Just discovered that this only works if your payment date falls within the deadline date of the discount sale. My payment date is 11/30, so it didn't work for me. Only if I go from extra to premium, I didn't get the discount. I didn't want to upgrade. So, I guess there will be no discount for me.
Not necessarily. I thought so at first but plenty of people here in the comments and on reddit that fall outside of those dates that were still eligible and renewed it at a discount.
@@OliveOcelot doesnt work for me either, i tried what you did and nothing. I have extra suscription and it expires on january 4th. Worst thing is a friend of mine account expires january 14th, and he could do it, so itrs some random issue. Did you hear about any extra solution?
Thanks for posting. Unfortunately does not work for me. My current PS Plus extra expires in January. I can upgrade to premium with 30% off but only on the remaining time on my current subscription. Then it will auto renew in January for the full amount. So annoying
Yeah, I just discovered that discount doesn't work for me either. My payment date is 11/30. This only works if your renewal date falls within the sale date.
Anyone know if theres any promotion or discount for the regular PS Plus? Not the extra or premiun, just the essential, there used to be like a 40% or 30% discount on a 12-month plan back when there was no extra or premium and I cant see that promo anymore, is it gone for good?
No it's there. I also have essential but if you already have it it won't show it to you. that's why I'm here looking for a way around it. The sale price is $59.99. But if you already have it it won't let you get that price.
I have a question. my ps plus subscription ends on 27 of november, the same day the promotion finish, will i still be able to get on the same day the ps plus with the same price discount or the promotion ends at 00:00 of 27th of november?
Just go through the menu like the video and cancel it. It won't cancel right away. It just turns off auto renew. Also go through like the video and see if the discount shows up for you. Only way you'll know.
My subscription said it ended on 11/26. Here we are on 11/26 and it's still active. Ps plus subscription doesn't end at midnight. Looks like it goes to the hour/time you originally got it. Not sure if sale will end tonight at midnight or if it'll go into the 27th a bit.
NA region. Ps plus premium member. Subscription ends 11/26. (Today is 11/26 but its still active.) These deals end on 11/27. Discount still not showing. Could be the sale will end b4 my subscription ends but damn its close.
In the video my sub expired in a week and I cancelled it (disabled auto renew) and I was able to buy it with a few days still left on the subscription. So I didn't have to wait until it expired.
I know im very late but if i buy the 3 month now and cancel the day of the black friday week can i upgade to the 12 month for the black friday discount?
undeathlive@@undeathlive you're actually early which is good the thing is you can't cancel. Cancelling is just stopping it from renewing. So if you cancel even a day after subscribing your trial will end in 3 months. They removed the auto renew button is now a cancel is don't renew, it's not an actual cancel. So I'd get just a month to be safe so it expires a week before black Friday. Or don't chance it and wait, cuz the discount is sometimes only offered to brand new members.
I never get the offer, and i just bought ps5 a month ago, a few days back before the bf deals i just got my first ea play discount (idk if this is the reason) and a few days later after th bf discount started i never see the bf discount from the start until today. I never join ps+ before. Do i need to create a new account to get ps+ discount?
That's weird. You should be able to get it. The controversy is if existing users get it. New users should be guaranteed, there is no ambiguity in their marketing wording. Every new user qualifies.
This doesnt work, I cancelled months ago when they did the price hike, when I go to buy again its still $80 i only get 25-30% when upgrading and thats for my current subscription which ends in 60 days 💀 Guess ill just wait till next year and get my discount then since ill no longer be an active member, screw sony
I don't know if it is region issue or something else.. My ps plus extra expires on 1st March 2024.. region India.. But this trick didn't work for me.. So I created another account just to check and there it was showing 30% off.. So I thought I will just buy ps plus in another account and do a console share with that account with my old account. That will do the trick..!!
bro that actually costs more. Your subscription will start from now on in different account. So you will be running two subscriptions at the same time until 1st march 24
@@OliveOcelot I need to try one more thing... Don't know if it will work... That is I have extra.. I will upgrade to Premium for remaining days.. as that is giving me 30% off.. Then on top of that I will stack up as in my friends account he has Premium and expires in January, but still showing 30% off for renewal... But in extra or essential it is not showing
Buddy I am also from India and this is great idea as I have 2 ids already and in my current id membership is expiring on 22 Jan and for new id I am getting discount of 25%. The only shame about games save and trophies
I just checked on the Ps app and the discount does show up after you click 'buy again' but it doesn't show a new expiration date. However, underneath it says "you can buy another subscription to add additional time to your current plan' so it sounds like stacking is possible but I didn't go through with it. I only have like 3 games left on Extra that I didn't get to play, and once I beat those, I'll doubt I'll stick around for another year.
@@OliveOcelot it does allow stack but for limited time . If one buys at discount had to stack immediately no clue how long but after a day they are treated as existing user as cancellation of sub doesn’t work anymore as duration is 2 years I stacked only essential. Since I have a sub active deluxe till Aug-24 so no point in getting for gap of 2 months
No discount is showing up for me. My essential subscription ends on tomorrow, (11/19/2023). I guess I will have to just wait for it to totally end in order to get the discount. I'm in the US, fyi.
@@OliveOcelot yep I cancelled. It says my sub is set to end tomorrow. I'm thinking it's because I only have the essential subscription and not the other two more expensive options. Either way, I will just buy the essential tomorrow. Also when I try to upgrade to premium or extra, it only wants to charge me about 10 cents (which includes their black Friday discount) for the remainder of my subscription. But then charge me the full price (no discount) when it renews, tomorrow... 😒
@@tokentoker2392 oh if you're on essential, the black Friday deal clearly says 25% on Extra and 30% on premium. It wasn't mentioned anywhere that there was a sale on essential. At least that I've seen so far, but could be wrong.
@@OliveOcelot I did end up having to wait for my subscription to fully expire. The full price for essential for me was $63 (20% off) after it expired… guess I will probably have to do the same thing next year as well
Man you have access to the deals cause you subscription ends on november 23. It ends during the sales and so you can access them. Dont spread disinformation
This was addressed already. 'you only get this if your expiration window is in the black Friday promotional week window' but idk lmk if this shows up for you. @1:54
My expiration is December 20 so u don't gotta have your sub end in black friday time to get this i did this and I can see discount but only for deluxe because I was on deluxe I can't buy essential or extra at discount rate it's normal expensive rate there I can only get discount on the one I was alredy on aka deluxe pin this so people know this is how it works
@@OliveOcelot I live in India worked for me I can see discount but I got no money we come under Europe instead of Asia surprisingly we are Asian country but our ps server is same as Europe has been since beginning i guess
