Previously, you could get PSN credit by earning trophies thanks to the Sony Rewards Trophy Pass program that was only available in the US. Now, about a year after this policy was first introduced in 2017, it has come to an end. Sony Rewards has officially updated its terms and conditions to reflect this.
Here is Sony’s official statement.
The Trophy Pass program has been discontinued. Sony Rewards members will not be able to unlock a new Trophy Pass after October 29, 2018. For Sony Rewards members that unlocked a Trophy Pass prior to October 29, 2018, you may continue earning Sony Rewards points through the Trophy Pass program until November 7, 2019, at which time the program will be permanently discontinued for all Sony Rewards members.
This change happened quickly and quietly, but that comes with the territory, as “Sony reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make changes to this Agreement, and/or to discontinue, change or modify the [Rewards] Program, at any time, without notice and without liability.” However, you can still get points by making purchases on the PlayStation Store.
While this news is disappointing, Sony Rewards will be filling this void with new ways to earn. Soon, you’ll be able to register your DVDs and Blu-ray Discs for points. Additionally, Sony will introduce new, limited-time passes that will allow you to complete different challenges to earn “free movies, points, discounts, and more.”
If you’re in the United States, don’t forget to link your account through the Sony Rewards website to get started, and make sure you go through those ever-changing terms & conditions.

What's Your PlayStation Network Trophy Level?

Here I am at level 13, hanging my head in shame… I don’t even have a platinum to my name. On the bright side, I do have a fairly respectable 57K gamerscore on Xbox. I am just going to hide over here in the corner and try not to be intimidated by Chandler’s e-Peen.

I am level 23 and actually really close to 24.

I'm currently level 45 with over 12,500 trophies, 174 of then being Platinum. Reviewing games has definitely helped boost that level quite a bit, and I feel like it could be higher if I hadn't sunk so much time into games like Destiny and Overwatch. There are a lot of games that I'm just around the corner from Platinum on, yet between reviews and getting stuck going back to the old staples, I can't be bothered to finally do the limited death run on Rogue Legacy, or the extremely tight speed run on Broken Age. I'll get to them eventually (is what I keep telling myself, even though both my wife and I know that's probably not true).
To be fair, I've been earning trophies since just after their advent on the PS3 in 2008. They came out right around the same time I was in my horrific motorcycle accident, so it was a good thing to be able to focus on at the time while I was in recovery. After Fallout 3 became my first Platinum, I was hooked. -

I... I am level 12. Well, I did lost some of my PS3 trophy progress since I had another account, but I still doubt I'd be above level 20. The only Platinums I have are either from visual novels and NieR: Automata. At least I got the Automata trophies legitimately!

I'm at a paltry level 16. I don't have the time or even the talent Chandler and Tyler have to catch up with them, because any time a game requires higher difficulty for trophies, I know the platinum is way out of my reach. That said, like Tyler, my Trophy level would be much higher if I wasn't a dedicated Xbox 360 player last console generation.

I'm currently sitting at level 30 with 60 Platinum trophies. I do have every Uncharted Platinum so there's some trophy do-overs there with the Uncharted Collection on the PS4. Luckily that Uncharted card game didn't have a Platinum or I would have had to muddle through it.

I'm sitting at level 18, quite content with it. A game has to be something truly special in order for me to nab a Platinum, or indeed to chase any trophies. I don't have that same itch that some of us around here seem to have regarding trophies.

I'm currently at level 39. While I'm slowly catching up on Chandler, I'm pretty sure I'll never actually pass him. I actually had a extremely low trophy level until recently. I only reached level 10 in October of 2012, and pretty much played all my multiplatform games on my Xbox 360. That meant that I had a solid 100,000 Gamerscore that could've been sweet, sweet trophies instead. I regret my past mistakes, but I'm trying to rectify that. Now if only Nintendo games had trophies...then I'd be in moksha.

I didn't start gaming on PS3 until mid-late 2012 so I'm still at level 14 with 1,520 trophies from 60 games. This count includes 10 fairly easy Platinums (and two more in progress). Nothing much to show off but I do have some rare trophies under my belt and an average trophy completion of over 43 percent.
