i would think it would have to directly from card to sony purchase ? How would sony know what you are spending on if it goes thru pay pal account?

It has to be directly from the card. If you use PayPal you lose bonus rewards.

That is one advantage to using a CC...at worse, your CL would be compromised.  I've generally heard good things about Cap One and their response to fraud.   I say add it and just monitor your CC activity.   Cap One has a good website and great smartphone app to help with that.

I been buying it on Amazon but the 10X points with the PS card is pretty amazing. Already got enough points to get  $20 PSN code on top of the free $50 i got for signing up.
