Buy Fortnite Gift Cards for V-Bucks, Crew; More
Epic Games introduced the new Fortnite Gift Card in June 2025, expanding its use beyond V-Bucks to a wider range of purchases made with Epic account balance.
Before buying, check that the card’s currency matches your Epic account balance currency. A mismatch can prevent you from redeeming the code.
GamsGo currently offers Fortnite gift cards in 15, 30, 50, and 100 USD denominations. Below, we explain the differences between card types, what you can buy, currency requirements, and how to redeem your code.
How Is a Fortnite Gift Card Different From a V-Bucks Card?
A Fortnite Gift Card adds funds to your Epic account balance, while a V-Bucks Card adds the number of V-Bucks printed on the card. The main differences are what you receive and where you can spend it.
New Fortnite gift cards display a monetary value in a currency such as USD. The balance can be used for V-Bucks, eligible Fortnite Crew subscriptions, Packs, and Epic Games Store games and DLC. Older V-Bucks cards can only be redeemed for V-Bucks; they do not add funds to your Epic account balance.
The redemption sites also differ: use epicgames.com/redeem for new Fortnite gift cards and fortnite.com/vbuckscard for older V-Bucks cards. Before buying, check whether the denomination is listed as money or V-Bucks rather than relying on the Fortnite name alone.
What Can You Buy With a Fortnite Gift Card?
Epic account balance added through a Fortnite Gift Card can be used to buy V-Bucks, eligible Fortnite Crew subscriptions, and Packs. It also covers games, DLC, and add-ons on the Epic Games Store.
For outfits, emotes, pickaxes, or a Battle Pass, you can first use your balance to buy V-Bucks, then purchase the content you want. The gift card does not unlock these items directly, and Battle Pass rewards still require you to meet the relevant progression requirements.
Having balance does not give you access to every past outfit. You can only purchase content currently available for sale, and a gift card cannot be used to claim rewards from an expired Battle Pass. Some Battle Pass items may return to the shop, but Epic does not guarantee that every item will.
If you have a particular outfit or bundle in mind, check Fortnite Items for available listings and delivery details before choosing how to buy. With a gift card, you still need to add funds to your Epic account balance and use a supported purchase method.
Can You Use a Fortnite Gift Card on Nintendo Switch?
Yes, but it cannot directly fund your Nintendo wallet. A new Fortnite Gift Card adds Epic account balance, and neither that balance nor V-Bucks purchased with it will appear on your Switch.
You can redeem the gift card on the same Epic account, use the balance to buy V-Bucks, and then purchase outfits or other items from the Fortnite web Item Shop. Those purchases will be available when you sign in to Fortnite on the Switch linked to that account.
This route does not work for purchasing a Battle Pass, as the web Item Shop does not currently sell passes. If you mainly make purchases on Switch, consider region-compatible Nintendo eShop Cards to fund your Nintendo account and buy supported content.
How Do You Buy a Fortnite Gift Card on GamsGo?
Choose a denomination on GamsGo’s Fortnite Gift Card page, check the supported region, currency, and seller’s offer, then select Buy Now to proceed to checkout. The page currently lists 15, 30, 50, and 100 USD cards.
Before ordering, review the total price, delivery time, and seller’s instructions. The checkout display currency may differ from the card’s currency. For example, a 30 USD card paid for in Japanese yen still needs to match a USD balance account and the listing’s United States region requirements.
Once you have checked the order details, follow the checkout instructions to pay and watch for delivery updates on your order. The product is delivered as a digital code, with delivery time determined by the offer you select. Before redeeming it, confirm that you are using the Epic account you play on.
If you already know you only need in-game currency, you can also compare Fortnite V-Bucks Top Up options and delivery requirements. This service follows a different process from redeeming a gift card yourself, so check the listing’s top-up method and platform requirements first.
How Do You Redeem a Fortnite Gift Card?
Redeem a new Fortnite Gift Card at epicgames.com/redeem to add its value to your Epic account balance. Once you receive your digital code, follow these steps:
- Open the official gift card redemption page and enter your code.
- Sign in with the Epic account you use to play Fortnite, or with your linked console account.
- Check the account details and select Yes, Continue. If prompted to link additional accounts, follow the instructions.
- Review the redemption details and select Redeem now. If asked, read and accept the account balance terms before confirming.
You can then use your Epic account balance to buy V-Bucks or other supported content. If you redeem the card on the wrong account, contact Epic Support for assistance; account balance cannot be transferred between accounts yourself.
Can You Give a Fortnite Gift Card to a Friend?
Yes. You can send an unredeemed Fortnite Gift Card code to a friend so they can redeem it on their own Epic account. The funds will be added to their account balance, letting them choose which supported content to buy.
Before purchasing, confirm your friend’s Epic account balance currency and check the card’s region requirements. The current listing is marked United States USD, so playing Fortnite alone does not mean their account can redeem this particular card.
Do not redeem the card on your own account first, as Epic account balance cannot be transferred between accounts. Send the code privately rather than posting a public screenshot. If your friend mainly plays on Switch, also check whether their intended purchase works with the method explained above.

More Questions About Fortnite Gift Cards
Can You Pay for Fortnite Crew With a Fortnite Gift Card?
Yes. Redeem your Fortnite Gift Card to add funds to your Epic account balance, then subscribe to Fortnite Crew through a purchase channel that uses Epic’s payment system. Select Account Balance at checkout.
Cabined Accounts cannot use account balance to subscribe to Crew. If you pay for renewals with your balance, make sure you have enough funds before each renewal date. Redeeming a gift card does not automatically activate a subscription.
Why Is Your Fortnite Gift Card Not Working?
Redemption can fail because of a currency or region mismatch, an incorrectly entered code, an inactive card, or the wrong redemption site. New Fortnite gift cards must be redeemed at epicgames.com/redeem, rather than the site for older V-Bucks cards.
Check your code and account details against the error message. If the card is inactive, contact the retailer you bought it from—Epic Support cannot activate it. If the redemption button does not respond, try a private browsing window or another browser. Contact Epic Support if the issue persists.
Do Fortnite Gift Cards Expire?
Non-promotional Fortnite Gift Card balances do not expire, and unused funds added to your Epic account balance do not expire either. Promotional gift cards, credits, or coupons may have expiration dates, so check the terms of the specific offer.
