Problem with Playstation Network...

I've been trying to redeem my 3 months of PS+ but apparently I can't using a sub account. Wtf is this and how do I make a master account?

OKay, allow me to explain.

The way PSN works is the idea that a parent creates a master account and then creates smaller sub accounts for his kids which each have restrictions on them, e.g. restrictions to ps plus subscriptions. 

I have a master account. I had to lie about my age when creating my account, but whatever. I have one. So, i can do anything.

You will already have a master account somewhere, for whatever reason though, you're on a sub account.
 
So, who created your PSN account??? And do you share with anyone else? Did you give your real age when creating?

We need to find a way to make sure you're using your master account. Other wise you'll have many problems.

Now, problem is i created my account 3 years ago and PSN has changed a lot since then.

Either way ->

^Login with your PSN ID  and password.

then, you'll see your username in the top right of the page, hover over that, a menu appears and get onto account settings and have a look for stuff around there.

!Be Careful! 

Careful what you click on, serious settings in there.

Yeah, basically, lie about your age so you can get a master acc.

Ik, I lied my age in putting I was born in October 23, 1980. Does it read the age that's on my email account??

I doubt it can.

Dammit I just made a whole new PSN account, email account, and lied about my age and when I added the code in again for the PS+ I got the same error. How do I fix this guys? I'm currently trying to contact support on this live chat thing. I hope they can fix this.

Here is exactly what it says after I put in the code and confirm it:

An error has occurred.
(E-82000102)


I then clicked search playstation.com Support and it says:


Error Code: E-8200102

Description: You cannot add funds to a sub account

Recommended Action: Sub accounts do not have wallets. Try adding funds to your Master account.

Well, Lego's site did read your email's age.
I remember, when I first registered, it asked me my birthday, I entered a random one (like on my email) and it rejected it, until I logged in to my email and found out the birthday.

Wow, didn't know that could happen.

No it doesn't. My email displays my real age, and my psn doesn't.

Okay, try going to this link : https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/liquid/cam/account/child/child-accounts-sub-menu.action?displayNavigation=false

If it doesn't work, go to - store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com

Then, Sign in as I said. 

Hover over your PSN ID in the top right.

Click ACCOUNT SETTINGS

A page will appear with a menu on the left. 

Click Sub Accounts. 

See what appears in there and maybe try deleting anything that you see, etc, etc. 

^From this point on, i can't help you because I don't have any.

It says no sub accounts have been created.

I was able to contact their support and they told me that my card wasn't activated. I'm going to go activate it and hopefully it will work. I know for sure that the error did not say anything about the card being inactive.

hope you get it working man

that sucks, never happened to me though.

Yeah did you get it fixed?
