Sony Rewards 12+

It’s literally a great way to save. All you have to do is log into your sony account and all the unexpired points from your playstation transactions are already there. You can just forget about it once in a while and like today, i remembered the app and i had earned enough points for 50 dollars in playstation credit. Not a coupon that applies to purchases 50 dollars and up, actual credit so i can get my games completely free every once in a while. And its even better that you can receive physical products too!

I love Sony and PlayStation but frankly this app is terrible. It’s filled with captchas which are very buggy so it’s difficult to even login. Plus the app never seems to save my login state so when every time I do open it I’m forced back to signing in and the annoying captchas ensue again.

The app also doesn’t provide support for iCloud Keychain on the login field so I have to look up my password every time rather than using Face ID.

On a different note not related to app development, the rewards seem prohibitively expensive to unlock with points. I’m sure you would earn more with a Sony branded credit card which I don’t have but I have been a PlayStation plus subscriber for the better half of 10 years now and I have a pretty large library of game purchases that should have been linked to the rewards account. I’ve also bought consoles directly through Sony and yet the highest reward I seem to be able to earn is a $10 PlayStation store credit. I’m not trying to sound ungrateful but that kinda seems like a missed opportunity to reward brand loyalty IMO.

I joined a bit ago because of a recommendation from a Sony rep that used to visit my store. I also play a game that I constantly put money into, and was told I could sync my store account to receive points. I was receiving points in the beginning, however that recently stopped for some unknown reason. I even linked most of the other accounts that were offered, and bought the PS5VR2 which never even registered the purchase (so I won’t be receiving points for that quite large purchase).

On a separate note, the redemption store and FAQ pages are also broken to where you can’t read descriptions or information on the products/questions. (They are just entirely not there)

I was hoping to continue to use the app, however if points are no longer building up on my account, I think this is where I will be saying goodbye to the Sony Rewards app. I hope it eventually gets fixed or updated.
