How long is a PlayStation Plus subscription code valid?
An unredeemed PlayStation Plus code carries an expiry date; once redeemed, the credit usually stays on the account indefinitely. So redeem a code straight away, even if you plan to spend it months later. That is the only reliable way to keep the value from lapsing.
Where to find the date
The validity period is listed in the terms with the code and in your confirmation e-mail. For digital codes it runs from the issue date, not from when you open it, so a code that has been sitting in your inbox has less time left than you would expect.
Expired, now what?
An expired code usually cannot be restored; that is the issuer's call, not the shop's. If you are unsure whether an older code still works, just try it: redeeming costs nothing and you see immediately whether the value is still there.

- Does redeemed PlayStation Plus credit expire?
- Usually not, but PlayStation Plus's own terms decide. Check them before loading a large amount if you are unsure.
