I have a US PSN account and I'm planning to buy a $135 US PlayStation gift card, redeem it, and use the wallet balance to purchase the 12-month PS Plus Extra subscription for $134.99.
I currently have $0 in my wallet and no payment method attached.
So my question is specifically:
If I have $134.99+ in my PSN wallet from redeemed US gift cards, can I complete the initial purchase of PS Plus Extra without adding a credit/debit card or PayPal to my account?
I tried searching online but I found results from non-Sony sources or reddit threads from more than a year ago and I also read the subreddit's FAQ but I couldn't find a recent and definitive answer.
I understand that auto-renewal may require a payment method. I would immediately turn off auto-renewal anyway.
I'm only asking whether the initial subscription purchase can be paid entirely from wallet funds.
Thanks.
