"no chance of that happening"

"phoned ee never heard of it "

"a complete waste of money"

"total waste of money and no way of getting our money refunded as impossible to access a human being to help us with this"

"i am utterly frustrated that i spent £20 on a gift card and it doesn't work"

"entered the code via ps4 which instantly added the funds & purchased the game i wanted"

"what a waste of money"

"also i think if i had my credit card on my psn account i would just click and buy useless stuff doing it like this makes sure you just have money when you need!"

"delivered as a download to me my grandson lives 50 miles away so how do i change it to the gift card i ordered very disappointed with this poor"

"no issues or problem updating ps4 account"

"i do recommend this method also because putting your debit or credit card is risky as no website is immune to hacking and because you can choose how much credit you want rather than be forced to buy more credit than you really want"

"i ordered a couple and the codes arrived straight away"

"the psn network for me can be frustratingly slow"

"absolutely useless ordered as a gift card for grandsons birthday ticked to be delivered to his mother as a gift card and a surprise for his birthday guess what?"

"i thought this was a card being delivered i bought 2 x £40 for each of my nephews wallets yet the link took me to playstation and added the £80 into one that states is mine i don’t have a ps4 and now going to have 2 unhappy nephews as have no idea how to now transfer from sony to them this was not in"

"then i screwed around for 15 minutes trying to check out"

"i have my new psn account i wanted to add funds to and now that is empty thanks to this broken product"

"ps4 store stated wallet was empty when trying to use paypal and that my credit card details were wrong when trying to use my mastercard which is valid until 2021!"

"this is a safe way to purchase items on the psn without risking your details being stolen"

"and about 2 minutes to complete the sony transaction"

"nephew upset as has missed his birthday"

"bought one of these codes for a present for my nephew and it didnt work i then had to go through a nightmare with amazon and and incompetent sony support to get it rectified which it never happened"

"before using this service on amazon i have tried several other sites which have typically been devlievered to my email box within 1 3 days altough i have experienced a few problems"

"i already had £68 in my playstation wallet & entered the £50 code and it worked fine but then tried adding the £25 code & it said 'the prepaid card transaction exceeds the wallet limit'"

"the prices on the ps store do tend to be overpriced however when they have a sale you can grab yourself a lot of games some which are psn exclusive no retail copy at an affordable price"

"very misleading"

"i was buying a playstation wallet top up for my younger brother using a gift card he not for christmas i successfully used the gift code then bought the wallet top up but when the order was successful there was no code to redeem the playstation wallet top up the gift card has basically been stolen and"

"i bought this for a gift so i found it rather disappointing that it just comes as an email to be printed off and not in gift card form"

"exactly as stated"

"i've tried using my debit card to buy things off the store directly but that wouldn't work"

"tells you to go away for an unspecified time"

"i find the payment system on the official ps store is often not working"

"in a way that doesn't require giving sony playstation your debit credit card details"

"amazon customer service were totally unhelpful and basically told me tough i should have read the description more clearly"

"a digital code to waste money on in app purchases or a game you have yet to play"

"well i dont trust my son with my bank details so buy this as a gift send it to his email and redeem "

"then started a 90 minutes live chat and emails forwarded from a sony to resolve including 1 very unhelpful guy on chat and then 2 supervisors"

"money wasted"

"i have spent and wasted lots of time going from shop to shop to purchased these cards"

"another problem was that it took 3 hours for the code to be emailed to me which was inconvenient but apart from that it worked perfectly and i could easily add the code and continue to purchase games from the playstation store"

"seriously bending the rules of a scam transaction"

"just buy one and the code is sent immediately to your email"

"i was not aware this was just an online code as i have ordered two of these as presents for two teenagers i was expecting physical cards to give to them with the codes included"

"i much prefer to purchase these top up codes on amazon than give sony my payment details"

"nobody wants to waste time"

"i didnt purchase this item"

"got the code about 3 hours after purchase which isn’t too bad but unfortunately code did not work i tried several times on both the actual playstation and the playstation app which is unfortunate"

"the product info says the code will not expire for 12 months from bying it but is that info correct?"

"so after annoying the staff to find the right one they call security to have me removed!"

"it also meant i could remove my card details from my psn account"

"my first purchase i suddenly found i had to do loads more authentication pins being sent to my phone "

"im not sure why some people are having trouble with them"

"this has been true when using the service for lower denomination than 35 pounds also"

"never again"

"but once contacted customer service at amazon and explained the issue"

"please remove from my account"

"remember it may be nice to own two items rather than one but it will waste your time having to redeem an extra code"

"only negative thing was that i needed to log on with the computer to access the code as i was unable to locate it using the phone app "

"ordered this item for christmas and it was delivered quickly and the product was exactly as advertised"

"i demand my full refund asap this is absolutely intolerable"

"ps4 also asks for password too once you enter the code"

"very disappointed with lack of security"

"used for buying games off ps store solely no probs code sent within half an hour no problems"

"dont waste your money!"

"within seconds of placing your order you receive the code though an email and you can even put it straight onto your playstation funds"

"annoying that i had to use the laptop to get the code when i thought i would get an email with the code and even though it stated that it was easily missed by myself initially so it needs to be highlighted to avoid confusion or preferably just send the code in an email"

"i don't trust leaving details on the ps3 after the massive detail leak nor do i trust random psn voucher sites"

"i don't trust leaving details on the ps3 after the massive detail leak nor do i trust random psn voucher sites"

"annoying that i had to use the laptop to get the code when i thought i would get an email with the code and even though it stated that it was easily missed by myself initially so it needs to be highlighted to avoid confusion or preferably just send the code in an email"

"code didn't come through"

"very worrying when you buy a downloadable item and you don’t know for for certain when it’s coming or not"

"super simple transaction with immediate delivery as it is not a physical card be aware that as this is not a physical card it will be added to your 'amazon library' where you will be able to get the code"

""do not buy this rubbish" ordered no code sent contacted seller by email no response which is very rude to say the least when previously ordered taking days or hours to receive the code which is only electronically sent via email very bad seller you have been warned definitely go buy somewhere else from sellers who care about there customers with a decent service"

"got the code about 3 hours after purchase which isn’t too bad but unfortunately code did not work i tried several times on both the actual playstation and the playstation app which is unfortunate"

"i'm not sure why they didn't work"

"this time a few minutes after purchasing this card i received an email from amazon with a link to the code which took me to playstation website i signed in there and immediately my code was applied"

"what i normally did was visiting my local supermarket and buy a prepaid psn card which is normally not the excat value i want come back home scratch the card and go through the laggy ps3 psn to apply the code and then download"

"after payment you get sent a code via email by amazon which you redeem through the psn store and it goes straight into your virtual wallet simples"

"used for buying games off ps store solely no probs code sent within half an hour no problems"

"where the code never had issue before no code came through but took my money"

"about 10 minutes later psn on the console is much less responsive than on the pc i had the same 3 games added to my basket and attempted to check out again btw why is my pc shopping basket not carried over to the ps4 shopping basket and vice versa?"

"there's so much fraud on these vouchers that just attempting to buy them will cause you nothing but trouble"

"all i can say is that it worked fine for me felt a bit uncomfortable putting my credit card details on ps store after the ps3 hack so opted to buy this"

"i rarely use wallets for buying download games as once completed you cant sell trade for other games as it's stuck on your console but for games that are available in download format only it is worth it i dare not put credit card bank details onto a gaming machine so having instant codes available to buy online is great no waiting for the post all done and able to play in 5 mins or however long it takes to download a game i would buy again for game dlc's and games that are downloads only"

"i just logged into my ps account and entered the 12 digit code and the credit was added instantly"

"asked me to input my payment card again which i liked as it meant amazon weren't taking the chance another household member were trying to purchase it for themselves"

"what a mess"
