    We aim to make your payment within 28 days of the validation of your claim – this is not within 28 days of your registration and we cannot be held responsible for any retailers / sellers incorrectly advising customers that payments are made within 28 days of the date of purchase or any misadvised data/time.

The cashback promotion payments should reflect under either WorldPay or Link Network name.

    We need a proof of purchase & study proof to check that your entry meets the terms and conditions ( for UK & for IE) of the promotion. This cuts down the paperwork for you, as we can look up the serial number to check your eligibility for the promotion.
    For your study proof, we require you to provide a photo of your student card clearly showing your last name, University/Education institution name and incurring year of studies (2026/2027)  or any official document from your University/Education institution clearly showing your last name, incurring year of studies (2026/2027) and University/Education institution name.

    An acceptable proof of purchase must contain the needed criteria below:

    • Retailer's name

    • VAT number

    Putting into consideration that the claim can be rejected if the supplied documents do not meet the above criteria.

    6. The website says that my serial number is not recognized, why is that?

    9. I purchased my product a few weeks before / after the promotion dates. Can Sony make an exception and authorise a cashback payment for my purchase?

    We can only consider customers applying for this promotion only if their product is purchased within the dates mentioned in theTerms and Conditions for UK and for IE.
