Hey everyone, like many of you, I’ve noticed that purchasing a PS Plus membership at a discounted rate isn’t allowed if you already have an active subscription. While browsing the PS Store website, I found some info stating you can buy a new membership to commence after your current one ends, which could allow us to catch a sale price. However, when I reached out to Sony’s live chat for verification, they weren’t helpful at all. Has anyone successfully navigated this or have any tips?

The ‘if you’re eligible’ part might be key here. Usually, if you’re an active subscriber, these special offers aren’t available to you. It sounds like some clever wording on Sony’s side. You might want to check your eligibility more thoroughly or see if there’s a way to pause your current subscription to grab the deal later.
Haha, gotta love the little quirks in Sony’s wording! Honestly, I’ve tried figuring out similar situations in the past and it often boils down to persistence. Keep checking and perhaps escalate through different support channels if chat isn’t getting you there. Sometimes different agents have different options they can offer.
From my experience and what I’ve heard, Sony’s customer service and their digital subscription systems can be a bit unreliable with these sorts of things. If the website says you can do it, there might be a chance, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. It’s worth keeping an eye on any announcements or updates from Sony for a clearer policy on this.
