Sony Rewards Program Updated - Earn PSN Credit for Trophies

ps4raretrophies0414141280jpg-0a65f6_1280w.jpg






Sony rewards system is best described as Sony's version of the Nintendo Rewards program, both allow members who are part of it earn points that can be used later to redeem for rewards after accumulating enough of the desired reward, though each of them have their own system of earning them. Sony recently updated their reward system to allow players who play games on any of the three systems, PS3, PS4, and PSVita, and earn trophies, to obtain reward points that can later be used to get playstation network credit to purchase any of the available content. Currently this is in place only for United States players at the moment but the points goes as value.

100 Silver Trophies = 100 Points
25 Gold Trophies = 250 Points
10 Platinum Trophies = 1000 Points

To redeem any points, you must sign up for the sony rewards system and link your Playstation Network if you haven't already, you can do so in the link source below.

To actually get any credit to use on Playstation Store, you need at least 1000 Points to get $10 credit, as you can see is probably not really good to rely on this for more than anything major. Each requirement of points is placed a bit high that even trophy hunters may not have much use in this if you were expecting to get much of the content for free, most likely you would end up adding funds saving $10 or just waiting for discount of anything lower. Of course this doesn't mean you can use the points for anything else, points earned can be used for any of the available rewards. Seeing as the points are earned through playing games, would be most players' reason for consideration.

I hope those accidentally sucked Vita trophies from game backups won't get me any penalties.

so a ps4 itself is 39,999 points, I'm curious about how many trophies that would equate to o.o
You need to create a sony rewards account and link your psn account to it, then from that point earning trophies equate into points to be earned for rewards. Trophies you earned before the account was linked are not accounted for, and buying a system doesn't earn you any trophies.

Buy compilation games, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 2.5 HD remix has 6 in one, earn those trophies. :ninja:
Only 4 of those have a platinum, and even then, the platinums would be worth 4$ total for a lot of hard work (the KH games are not an easy plat by any means). To me, this whole system seems like far too much work - I've gotten like 1 platinum trophy and 66 golds in my 7-8 years of PSN, though I guess it's neat for those insane people with hundreds of platinums.

I did mention that in the first post that even trophy hunters would find it useless for the point value is worth. It is pretty bad to be honest "Let's reward players for hard work" HARD WORK IS RIGHT. You better believe it.

Unlike nintendo who would get you reward points just for buying their game, they don't have credits to earn, but either games or discounts. :P

Actually, if your PSN account is linked, you do earn points for buying games. The only catch is you have to buy digital from PSN store. I agree that there should be a way to earn points for physical copies though.

Last I checked (long time ago) Nintendo didn't offer exchanging points for their currency. Also there are other ways to earn points as far I know checking into this rewards system.
Here in Europe, with the old Club Nintendo you could trade your stars for Wii or DSi credit (like two full games for 1 $ or €, though I remember getting at least 15 € out of it)... on the days the code generator worked! :)
