The basics
How much do you spend money on PlayStation purchases? You don’t have to tell us, but if you’re an avid gamer, the PlayStation Card from Capital One could be for you. This card comes with a signup bonus of 5,000 points when you make a purchase within the first 90 days — that’s $50 to spend on new titles. PlayStation Store purchases come with 5x points, and you’ll earn 3x points on all PlayStation and Sony purchases at authorized retailers.
The perks
- 0% intro APR. The current intro offer includes no interest on purchases through 03/2018 billing period.
- Signup bonus. The PlayStation Card comes with 5,000 bonus points with any purchase made in the first 90 days from opening your account.
- Earn points. Earn 5x points on all PlayStation Store purchases and 3x points on PlayStation and Sony purchases at authorized retailers. You’ll also get 3x points on purchases at movie theaters, at fast food restaurants and through your mobile phone bill. All other purchases earn 1x points.
- Redeem points. Browse through a rewards catalog, or use your points to bid on exclusive cardmember offers.
- No annual fee. Keep more money in your gaming coffers with no annual fee over the life of the card.
What to watch out for
- End of intro APR. Confirm the end date for your intro APR offer to avoid a nasty surprise.
- Penalties and fees. Late and returned payments can cost you $35 or more.
Consider other cards if …
- You want a variety of redeeming options. You’re limited to using points on Sony purchases. But you’ll find other cards out there offer travel rewards, hotel perks and cash back.
- You want an intro APR offer on balance transfers. If you’re looking to consolidate existing balances to one card, look into other cards that come with intro APR offers on transfers.

When I sign up for the card do I have to pay for it? Also do you have to pay anything while owning the card as in after “X” amount of months Do u have to renew/pay for it again?
