Today Sony announced a $5 price hike to its PlayStation Vue live TV streaming service. Later in the day, it started contacting subscribers and offering some a one time $10 PSN credit. Now how people are getting selected for the $10 credit is unknown as many subscribers who have been a subscriber since the start are not getting the offer. It does not seem to be based on the package or how long you have been a member. It almost seems to be at random on who is getting the package and who is not.
If you are a PlayStation Vue subscreiber make sure to read the email they sent you closely. It may contain a special one time $10 credit.
Here is the email Sony is sending PlayStation Vue customers today about the price change that offers the $10 credit:
