Sony is offering a Black Friday discount to PS Plus subscribers for renewing or subscribing to any of the three PS Plus subscription tiers. Unfortunately, this discount is only available to a select few users.
According to a thread on Reddit, the discount seems to apply to only a select group of users, and there is no way to determine if you are eligible other than checking it yourself.
For those unaware, Sony has offered a discount for the PS Plus subscription during Black Friday: 30% off Premium, 25% off Extra, and 20% off Essential. However, this discount is limited and not available to everyone.
I am one of the unlucky users who cannot see any discount when I try to extend my subscription. This was also the case for me last year. Meanwhile, some lucky users can extend their subscription with the offered discount, ranging from 30% to 20%, depending on their tier level.
However, I was able to see a discount when upgrading to a different tier. In my case, I am on PS Plus Extra, and I could see the option to upgrade to PS Plus Premium with a 30% discount. While this is nice, I would have preferred a full discount on extending the subscription for another month.
Fortunately, there is a way to check if you are eligible. According to some users who received the offer to extend their subscription, they had to turn on the auto-renew option to get the discount applied. I tried to turn off auto-renew, but it was too late for me, as I never managed to get the discounted offer.
For those confused about how to disable auto-renew, cancelling the subscription essentially does the same thing, just with different wording. Your subscription will continue to work, but it won’t be renewed automatically when it expires.
