PlayStation gift cards are typically region-locked, meaning they can only be redeemed in the region they were purchased. For example, a gift card bought in the USA can only be used with a U.S. PlayStation account. To use a gift card internationally, make sure it matches the region of your PlayStation account. If you're sending a gift card to someone in another country, buy one that matches their account's region.
