A PlayStation Store virtual gift card is a handy way to top up a PlayStation Network wallet for the PS Store's large library. It can go towards full games, add-ons and virtual currency, or a PlayStation Plus membership with online multiplayer and a rotating set of monthly games. It is a good pick for anyone who likes to browse the latest releases and pick their own next adventure.

Does adding to an online gift card collection have any fees?
We add a small fee to each gift contribution to cover our payment processing & fraud check costs.
This amount varies depending on the currency you are collecting in: 🇬🇧 GBP collections are charged at 1.1% + £0.17. e.g. contributing £10 means you'll pay £10.28 🇪🇺 EUR collections are charged at 2.5% + €0.17. e.g. contributing €10 means you'll pay €10.42 🇺🇸 USD collections are charged at 2.9% + $0.19. e.g. contributing $10 means you'll pay $10.48
The fee is always clearly and explicitly stated whenever someone leaves a contribution.
To minimise fees when making multiple contributions you can top up your gifting wallet once and use it for multiple Thankboxes.
