How-to Get a Code

The official way to get a code is to purchase a licensed Fortnite product in-store at a participating location in your country. You will then either receive a card, or the code will possibly appear on the receipt. Make SURE to call and ask if the store you're planning on going to has them available.

Are They Still Available?

Yes, they are still available! You will want to call the listed stores in your country to verify if they are giving them away.

How did People Get Them Early?

The codes you were seeing floating around were mistakenly given out to people who visited some select GameStop locations in the US.

I Redeemed a Code and Didn't Receive Anything!

You will need to contact Fortnite Customer Service if your code did not work for whatever reason. I have seen people mention a bug where they entered a code and it didn't work, so make sure to contact Epic if you are having trouble.

Do not beg for a code in the comments!
