Fortnite V-Bucks Gift Card — buy with crypto

Quick answer

Go to fortnite.com/vbuckscard, select Get Started and sign in to your Epic Games account, enter the PIN without dashes, choose the platform you play on and confirm. The V-Bucks show up the next time you open Fortnite on that platform.

Redeem in five steps

Open fortnite.com/vbuckscard
Use a browser on a computer or phone — V-Bucks cards cannot be entered inside the game itself.
Sign in to Epic Games
Select Get Started and log in with the Epic account you play Fortnite with.
Enter the PIN
Type the PIN from your email without dashes and select Next.
Choose your platform
Pick where the V-Bucks should go: PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC or mobile.
Confirm
Check the account, platform and new balance, then select Confirm. Open Fortnite on that platform to spend them.

Platform missing from the list?

A console only appears if its account (PlayStation Network, Xbox or Nintendo Account) is linked to your Epic Games account. Link it at epicgames.com under Account → Apps and Accounts, then start the redemption again.

Which V-Bucks card to choose

The worldwide card suits most accounts; the UK and Poland versions are priced in local currency.

If the PIN is refused

"Invalid code"

Remove dashes and spaces, then check look-alike characters. Make sure you are on fortnite.com, not a copy of it.

Wrong Epic account

If the V-Bucks do not show in game, you may have redeemed on another Epic account. Check the account email in the confirmation.

"Already redeemed"

A PIN works once. Check the V-Bucks balance on every platform you play — they may already be there.

V-Bucks card questions

Can I redeem a V-Bucks card on Nintendo Switch?

Not on the console itself: redeem it at fortnite.com/vbuckscard and select Nintendo Switch as the platform (your Nintendo Account must be linked to Epic).

What can I buy with V-Bucks?

Battle Pass, Item Shop outfits, emotes and other cosmetics, and Save the World items.

Is a V-Bucks card a good gift for a child?

Yes — a fixed amount, no bank card on the account, and the PIN only works through the official site.

Can I buy V-Bucks with crypto?

Yes. GiftKong sells V-Bucks cards (worldwide, UK and Poland), paid with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, USDT and four other options. The PIN is emailed as soon as the payment confirms.

Will Epic ever ask for my PIN?

No. Sites and players promising "free V-Bucks" in exchange for a code or a login are scams.
