So you want PlayStation Plus Extra, but don’t feel like using your credit card on the PlayStation Store? No worries! There’s a smart, safe, and often cheaper way: using PSN cards from Kinguin. Let’s break down how this works, why it matters, and how to make sure you don’t mess it up.
PlayStation Plus Extra is the middle tier of Sony’s PlayStation Plus service. It gives you:
Here’s how it works in simple terms:

This is where most gamers slip up. PSN cards are region-locked. That means a card for one country only works with accounts registered in the same country.

How to Check Your PSN Region:
Match this info exactly before buying any Kinguin PSN card!
Kinguin is a marketplace - meaning different sellers list their PSN cards there.
