No. Every region has it's own credits and must be purchased "there" to work in that store. Also when using a fake account for your US account, go with an address in a state where you pay less taxes. I use a McDonald's address and pay no taxes lol.

The credits themselves i buy on amazon. My Creditcard is European so Amazon and US PSN don't accept it. There are multiple ways around this.

What i do is buy Amazon giftcards with my own Creditcard, Amazon doesn't mind an EU here, after that change my address on Amazon and buy PSN cards with the gift cards!

Sounds complicated but it isn't. Just Google how the step by step goes if you're unsure.

To be clear, you buy amazon gift cards from amazon US, using your EU bank card and EU address?

Correct.

No. You need to buy on the US store, wherever the game is from, the dlc must also be.

Listen, as long as the game and dlc are from the same region/store it doesn't matter on which account you play it. So you buy GTA5 from US you get the DLC from US store, play both on whatever account you have on your PS4.

but i'm asking about the shark cards, the ingame currency. Is that not tied to the account you buy them off?
