To redeem a PlayStation gift card from a different region, first, create a new PSN account and set your region to match the gift card. Go to the PlayStation Store, scroll to the bottom of the sidebar and select Redeem Codes. Enter your gift card code. Note that digital content and subscriptions are region-locked, so make sure your game's region matches your PSN account.
