  1. Can't remember original Epic Games account information, how do I redeem V-Bucks?


    I got my Xbox One a few years ago (I believe in 2018) and I don't remember setting up an Epic Games account when we downloaded Fortnite, but I seem to need it when I want to redeem V-Bucks. Every time my son get's a V-Bucks card it's a very long and ridiculous process that results in calling customer support to redeem them.

    He plays on my Xbox account which uses my email address. I just tried to redeem the V-Bucks using that email address but it said an account doesn't exist. I set one up, but that won't do any good since my son has a lot of skins and achievements on Fortnite already.

    How do I redeem V-Bucks in the future so that they upload straight to our existing Fortnite game on my Xbox account? Is there a way to link my new Epic Games account without losing all of his skins and progress? Or is there a way to find out what Epic Games account he's currently using?

    :)

    Can't remember original Epic Games account information, how do I redeem V-Bucks?

    Hi Jami, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    I am very sorry for the situation you are in. I understand that it must be frustrating to have to deal with this process every time your child receives a V-Bucks card.

    There are two ways to solve this problem:

    1. Try to recover the password for your original Epic Games account. You can do this by visiting the Epic Games website and clicking "Forgot my password." You will be asked to enter your email address or username. If Epic Games can find an account that matches your information, they will send you an email with a link to reset your password.

    2. Link your Xbox account to a new Epic Games account. This will allow you to redeem V-Bucks directly to your Xbox account without having to remember your original Epic Games account information. To do so, follow these steps:

    -Sign in to your Xbox account.
    -Go to the Microsoft Store app.
    -Search "Fortnite".
    -Select "Fortnite" and then select "Manage."
    -Select "Epic Games Account Link".
    Enter your Epic Games email address and password.

    If your child already has a lot of skins and achievements in Fortnite, you can transfer them to their new Epic Games account. To do so, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to your original Epic Games account.
    2. Go to the profile page.
    3. Select "Account Activity."
    4. Select "Transfer Account".
    5. Select the Epic Games account you want to transfer your progress to.
    6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

    Is there a way to link my new Epic Games account without losing all my skins and progress?

    Yes, there is a way to link your new Epic Games account without losing all your skins and progress. Follow the steps in the "Link your Xbox account to a new Epic Games account" section above. When you get to step 6, select the “Transfer my account progress” option. This will transfer all your skins, achievements, and other stats from your original account to your new account.

    Or is there a way to find out which Epic Games account you are currently using?

    Yes, there is a way to find out which Epic Games account you are currently using. Follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to your Xbox account.
    2. Go to the Microsoft Store app.
    3. Search for "Fortnite."
    4. Select "Fortnite" and then select "Manage."
    5. Select "Epic Games Account Link."
    The email address and password displayed on this screen are those of the Epic Games account you are currently using.

    Part of this information was taken from the epicgames page.

    Problem with Epic games/Vbucks

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues getting the V-bucks you redeemed on your son's account.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    To set your expectations properly, the V-Bucks redemption is tied to the Epic Games account linked to the Fortnite display name. If your Xbox system settings show your fiancé's email, it is possible the V-Bucks were redeemed to his account instead.

    Kindly check the purchase history on both Epic Games accounts to confirm where the V-Bucks went.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    I redeemed a vbucks gift card on the wrong Microsoft account. Is there any way to transfer the vbucks?

    In a word: no.

    The V-Bucks you've purchased may have been redeemed against a Microsoft Account, but they've actually been given to a linked Epic Games account for Fortnite. Epic Games decided to disallow the transfer of V-Bucks between accounts to prevent kids (and adults, I guess) from falling victim to scams.

    fortnite vbucks not showing up from vbucks card

    Hello Hollie,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through, here are some things your friend can try to fix Fortnite V-Bucks not showing up on their V-Bucks card:

    Make sure the V-Bucks card is valid.

    You can check the validity of the card on the Epic Games website.

    Make sure you have entered the code correctly.

    You can check the code on the Epic Games website or in the Fortnite app.

    Make sure your console is connected to the Internet. V-Bucks must be redeemed online.

    Restart your console. Sometimes a simple restart can fix the problem.

    Sign back into your Epic Games account.

    If you're signed in to your Epic Games account on another console, try signing in on your home console.

    Update the game. If an update is available for the game, install it.

    Here are some specific steps your friend can take to try to redeem their V-Bucks card:

    Sign in to your Epic Games account on the Fortnite website or app.

    Click "V-Bucks."

    Click "Redeem Code."

    Enter the code for your V-Bucks card.

    Click "Redeem."

    If the code is valid, the V-Bucks should appear in your Epic Games account within a few minutes.

    If it's been more than 24 hours and the V-Bucks still haven't appeared, your friend can contact Epic Games support for help.

    Sincerely,
    Marvina.

    Bought v bucks for my daughter

    Hi,

    They are not for me. They are for my daughter. It's a gift for her so how do I give them to her?

    As Fortnite is an Epic Games product, of course the assumption is that if I buy v-bucks on the Microsoft Store then you get some way to redeem them in epic games.

    If this is not the case, the product page really should be updated with this information.

    Also if I can't redeem them for her, then how do I start a refund? The support page says:

    Click Contact > Subscriptions and invoice > Initiate a refund

    But the "initiate refund" option does not exist.

    Regards,

    Kaare Mai
