similar issue with Fortnite.........

My nephew has a PSN account with his email, and son A has a fortnite account on PS. Son B uses the email from the PSn account to have an Epic account.... My nephew buys with his visa stuff for his kids on Fortnite; Last week Son A got fortnite gift cards (150€) for his birthday but he can't use it because you need an Epic account with email....Son A never was registered so Son A can not use the points. So far I know it is still not fixed.

Yeah that's another thing that really sucks, irreversibly having to link emails and accounts with other accounts.

The only (non) solution atm is to make a new psn account with new email (and lose all your progress)

I'm juggling 10 different email accounts between me and my kids. (And they still have their school email accounts as well)
(And just counted my password library, over 200 passwords for all the different accounts and services ugh)

All because linked services need unique (email) accounts or you run into those kind of problems your nephew has.
