I would strongly advise against key resale sites in general. A lot of the keys on there are bought with stolen credit cards, and at least with PC games when the cardholder does a chargeback the key is revoked and game is removed from your library. Said chargeback also hurts the developer financially.

So unless you see the occasional deal that someone like Wario64 posts of a store selling a 50 dollar gift card for 45 dollars, I would personally just pay and avoid key resellers like the plague.

Yeap used a lot in these $7 deals for PSN $10.
Worked all.

Edit - I checked and last time I used was a $10 at $9.49 in Sep 5, 2023.
Not the best deal but I really needed $10 to buy Baldur Gate’s 3 at launch.

My PSN account is US and Sony give me an option to change it to Brasil (the Brasilian PSN only was created in 2010 so I keep the US one).

So I use it a lot because the US PSN doesn’t accept Brasilian’s credit card… even the international ones.

I brought a Plus Essential card there in 29/12/2022 that one a great deal… 12 months at $39.99 😍
Looking at the date my PSN Plus is about the expire :D

Yeap but the point to buy in CDKeys is for the deals.
I can buy on Amazon too.
But buying Plus Essential at $39.99 is a must ;)
Or $10 at $7.

Worked fine in the more than 20 times I used it.

The only issues I had is that they keep changing the payment system and one time instead direct credit card they used a 3rd-party system like PayPal that never accepted my credit cards due being Brasilian ones… it was in 2020 and I have no order in that year due that issue… 2019 and 2021 I have several orders.

Today the use 3rd party Brasilian operator for us so even national credit cards works.

I suggest you go to gg.deals to track prices on pc key sites.

Cdkeys.com is pretty much the most legit key reseller but there are others that aren't and i would stay away from them.

I created a similiar topic related to CDKeys a while back, for some reason my payments were not accepted, but now all of a sudden the site works like a charm and the payments go through, I also bought the UK PSN wallet top ups wo problems, among other things.

I go on the gg deals site and sometimes there's like risk/warning notes posted by the vendors, but I've never personally had any issues.
the risk/warning notes say what they mean. If there are multiple it usually means that they've been known to sell fake/stolen keys (i.e. scammers using stolen credit cards, keygens etc). So there is a risk that if you buy one of the stolen keys it won't work, or at worst case the company finds out down the line and you have your account banned.

That's not how shopto gets the codes & allows them to sell them cheaper is it , I'd cry if I lost my account I've spent so much money on it
