[PS4] Free PS4 Theme and 20% off Single Transaction @ PlayStation Store

380

Got an email this morning with a code for a free seasonal Playstation 4 theme. Email also said I could use the code to get 20% off my basket at the Playstation store.

I assume it's targeted (at least the 2nd part)

    I got the same email but a 10% discount

    • +1

      Same here, 10% and that's only because I've gone cold turkey on PlayStation since building a PC 6 weeks ago. Normally I spend weekly and they give me nothing.

      • I didn't think so, but I guess I've been spending too much also, 10% off for me..

    • Same 10%… bummer

      • 10% also but I haven't purchased much online over the last year.

  • Yeah I got 10% presumably because I buy a lot online

  • +6

    Just got the theme, no discount.

    • +2

      Also got the theme but no discount! That said, I don't think I've bought anything on the PS Store for a while now…

    • +2

      Same here. Bah humbug.

  • +6

    Same here, but with a 30% discount.

  • +2

    Mine is 20% but when i tried to use the same code it didn't work. Can anyone confirm? The email i received is showing personal code "none available" just
    Like OP's screenshot.

    • Mine is 10% with an actual (probably unique) code.

      • I see. They must be using the same email template to the non targeted people as well. What a shame..

    • I got 10% off with the "none available" code :(
      Guess I'll have to contact them >:|

  • +4

    Well despite being subscribed to all marketing and promotions etc, I still get nothing from them.

    • Same!

    • That's usually me, you should make a second account and add that to all the mailing lists.

    • .#metoo. I tried to contact them but they were useless

  • 30% off

  • +4

    I got the email for the theme but nothing about a discount in the email. Was it in the email or when redeemed you see the discount code?

  • 10% for me, finally I get something from them :)

  • Cheers, I saw the theme but didn't even look down to see the discount.

  • +5

    I got the code for the theme but no discount, either. **** you, PlayStation. The amount of money I spend on there in a year and they don't give me a discount code? **** you in your cheap ****s, you ****s.

      Is this considered a 4 Star review? 😂

      • +1

        16 stars! :P

        Which, on my review scale (fewer stars the better) is a pretty bad review :P

      Put the controller down and go outside for some fresh air.

      Might help that rage.

      • Sadly, I am both blessed and cursed to have a full-time job, so fresh air is not an option.

        • +4

          Bottle some fresh air and then inhale it throughout the day. This is what I've been doing for the past six months and I think it's improved my general health. You can use any type of bottle, even just a plastic drink bottle. You just run while holding the bottle forward (so the fresh air is going into it), then quickly put the lid on. Then throughout the day either take quick gulps or sip it with a straw but don't leave the lid off too long or else the fresh air dissipates.

    I got the same but with 30% discount.
    First time ever receiving a discount code.

    • Nice one mate!!
      got 10%….

  • No discount code :(

  • Thanks op! I read the email this morning and only saw the free theme, just read it again after reading this post and saw at the bottom of email that I also got 10% off discount. Not much but better than nothing I guess. Last time I got 20% off but forgot to use hopefully I'll remember this time.

    Doesn't even get the email for free theme….

    Even if you only get the theme code and no discount there is a chance it is embedded in the email anyway. Bit of messing around but try the following:

    1. Depending on your email client, save the email as a .eml file and open with notepad or something to view as plain text.
    2. Copy the FIRST base64 encoded chunk (everything from 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' to '==') into a new .txt document. Save as code.txt or something
    3. Via command prompt, run 'certutil -decode C:\code.txt C:\code2.txt' to convert into a readable format.
    4. Open code2.txt and you should see the discount codes below the theme code.

    Not sure if this will work for everyone but I was able to get both a 10% and 20% code from this despite only getting the theme in the original email.

    • I tried it but I keep getting the error'certutil-decode' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
      operable program or batch file.

      Anywhere to fix this?

      • +6

        You can also just dump it here: https://www.base64decode.org/

        • Thanks it worked, but I got no codes.

          • +4

            @Bissy: Worked for me - the section in question looks something like this:

            To celebrate the season in style, enjoy a little something special just for you: save 10% on the items in your PS Store basket!

            Just use your personal code REDACTED at the checkout. Valid until 20/12/2019 10:59 AEDT.

            Just use your personal code ALSOREDACTED at the checkout. Valid until 20/12/2019 10:59 AEDT.

            Just use your personal code None Available at the checkout. Valid until 20/12/2019 10:59 AEDT.

            • +2

              @KevinL: Yeah I look there, but it said None Available on all three lines.

        • +2

          Thanks! It worked for me and gave me codes for 10 and 20. And for some reason it feels better getting the code like this. It's like I'm a sophisticated spy cracking ciphers here.

          EDIT: I also tested my 10% code on a different account and it worked, so it seems like it's not locked to accounts.

        • Howdy! In the link you provided, which source charset did you use? The default is UTF-8, is it that one?
          Cheers

      • not recognized as an internal or external command

        because you used the quotes.

        it would be something like this

        certutil -decode C:\Users\username\Desktop\code.txt C:\Users\username\Desktop\code2.txt

    • +2

      Worked for me! Got 10% off and 20% off through this:)

    • +1

      Thanks bulletride - Managed to get 3 codes that worked
      10%, 20% and 30% :)

    • everything from 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' to '==')

      till the end of the file?

      i have looked at couple of emails and ctrl-f doesnt show up the "just use your personal code"

    • This worked for me. I was able to extract 2 codes out of it. Not sure what they are yet since I haven't tried them, I assume 10% and 20%.

      You are a gentleman and a scholar. Go to my stables and take my finest steed.

  • No email at all for me

  • +1

    No discount code :(

  • +1

    Is there a trick to this? I opted into PSN emails years ago and receive literally nothing from them

    • +1

      I've got a 10% for you. Can't pm you, fix that up and I'll send it to you.

  • I didn't get the email, does anyone have a code for the theme they don't want?

  • +1

    Update: I just got a 2nd email that looked exactly the same but had the discount code actually in it

  • Thanks guys the method worked for the email. I have never got a discount but managed to get a 30 percent discount code. Too bad I bought $100 worth of games 2 days ago before checking emails. They all auto downloaded so no chance of refund.

    • Care to share that 30% discount if you're not gonna use it? ;-)

  • Got the same but ZERO discount lol only the theme code. Got screwed!

  • I got nothing as well! been with sony since ps1 lol. Anyone not using willing to share please?

    Thanks

  • I seen the theme code but not the discount, thanks for the heads up!
    I was lucky enough to get 30% off and I haven't bought anything in over a year.
