No more gift cards as rewards on Playstation Stars?

So it looks like they completely scrapped any money option for the UK, what the fuck?
I'm from the UK and it's still there

I have a Greek PSN account, 5€ and 10€ options are still there - in fact , i redeemed a 5€ the other day and the options haven't vanished (yet).

This is yet another colossal fuck up from Sony, as per usual, the average user is completely lost when it comes to knowing the why's and how's.

Zero transparency as usual - unless this is YET another bug.

On US account and don't see 3rd row for credit exchange, just some collectible and game, not sure it it's gone for good or because i don't have enough point for 2500 reward show up (currently i have 2000 points?

I'm in the UK and that third row isn't an option on mine for wallet funds.

I always used to save mine and redeem for a £20 store credit.
Have you redeemed recently? Maybe they limit the amount you can redeem for a given period? I haven't redeemed anything for some time (probably more than 3 months now I think).

Yeah, I can’t see any options available in the UK. It’s pretty shit because I’ve used them quite regularly, and it would be nice to redeem some additional credit towards the currently discounted games.

I don't see them anymore.
I wonder if there is a system in place where they introduced a per-account ceiling to the number of discount cards you can exchange with the stars points in a certain amount of time.
Otherwise I can't explain why reports on this are completely mixed. Some people still have them and others not.
Or it's a bug?
Still it's a change that should have been documented by Sony or that the media should have bothered to ask but they're too busy with their clickbait bullshit to actually ask some real questions.

I also just saw the $5 option pop back up - it also now airs in a separate ‘Wallet Funds’ column (previously it was in the same column as the other rewards for me before it disappeared originally).

Ever since PlayStation stars went down and rebooted with the new terms, the option has not been there for me which makes the program completely useless because who the fuck wants some digital collectibles.
You can still buy digital currency for destiny etc but agreed lost a huge amount of value.

And I backtrack my statement, as the adult I am.
I was only jesting!

I thought the exact same thing when I seen this re-appear that you would only be able to redeem once and then have to spend the points on the shit games or in game currency available.

I was pleasantly surprised that they’re offering this back, albeit in a kind of sneaky stealth way.
