Nothing lasts forever, and that unfortunately includes opportunities to claim and spend free store credit.
For those who might not be aware,PlayStationcurrently runs aloyalty schemethat, among other things, allows you to accumulate points that can be exchanged forfreestore credit.
It really is money for pretty much nothing, although the exchange rate of points to actual store credit is so low that you’ll likely be tempted to hold on and save up loads of points over a long time so you can buy a £70 game on launch day or something.

Unfortunately it would seemSonyhas factored this in. What a lot of people don’t actually know is that your Stars points will now expire after 12 months.
The upshot of this is that if you were trying to save for something specific, you’ll either have to be quick or be realistic about what you can actually get within a 12-month period.
“It definitely sucks because I already thought that the rewards weren’tthatgreat for purchasing games and especially redeeming the PS Plus games,” one fanwroteon Reddit.

“But it’s so ridiculous that they expire after only a year where you couldmaybeget a $5 reward once a year. It also hurts me a bit more as a physical collector, because Ihavebought games like Astro Bot and Spider-Man, but because I get them physically I don’t get the extra points.”
Basically, then, use your points while you can and take the little wins where you can if you want to get the most out of this system.
