Hi Russell,

Thanks for leaving a question on finder.

This card does not have any sign up fees and it is also does not have any annual fees. As long as your PlayStation Card
information is saved as a method of payment on your PlayStation Network Account and you meet all the eligibility criteria for the
statement credit.

Please see eligibility criteria:

1. Ensure your PlayStation® Card account is linked to Sony Rewards account
2. Link your Sony Rewards account to your PlayStationTMNetwork account
3. Spend $3,000 on your PlayStation® Card within one year of the day your account was approved and
4. Within 1 year of meeting the criteria above, use your PlayStation® Card as the method of payment for a 12-month
PlayStation®Plus subscription from PlayStation™Store
5. You must have an open PlayStation® Card account in good standing at the time the statement credit is applied to your account
Once you have met the above criteria, Capital One will automatically apply 50% of the amount paid for your subscription service
as a statement credit, within 1-2 billing cycles. Please note that any applicable sales tax is not included in the discount calculation.
Account credits do not count toward minimum monthly payment.

Cheers,
Joel
