Where is the 12 Digit Code on a PS4 Voucher?
As an avid PS4 gamer myself, I know the excitement of redeeming a PlayStation Network voucher code for wallet funds or premium items. But if you can‘t find that elusive 12-digit code, the voucher does you no good! In this detailed guide, I‘ll show you exactly where to locate it on physical and digital vouchers, the best practices for redeeming PSN codes, and some interesting stats around PlayStation voucher use. Let‘s power up our wallets!
Where is the Code Located?
If you received a physical voucher as a gift or purchase, you‘ll find the 12-digit alpha-numeric code printed directly on the voucher, usually under a scratch-off panel. Carefully scratch away the covering to reveal the entire code.
For digital vouchers purchased online, the code will be displayed on the email receipt or redemption instructions sent to you after confirming the order. Make sure to check spam folders just in case. Write down or take a screenshot of the code to enter later.
Pro Tip: Add the voucher issuer‘s email to your contacts so future codes go to inbox!
Once you locate the 12-digit code, you‘ll need to enter it correctly on PlayStation Network to credit the funds or item to your Sony account wallet.
