How do I redeem Fortnite V-Bucks to my son's account?

Okay. I'm a little confused. I got my son a V-Bucks giftcard for Fortnite. As I have an X-Box live account on the console, he simply has another profile and he enjoys that. I do NOT play Fortnite, but he plays it on HIS profile. Do I simply link
the Epicgames account to my Microsoft/Xbox Live account and redeem the code under my profile and he can use the V-Bucks, as he actually does not have an account, just the profile?

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.

Consumables like Fortnite V-Bucks have to be purchased by the account that is supposed to use them.

Unfortunately, there is no way to transfer consumables to a different account. While it is possible to buy a game and some DLCs that your son can play thanks to the Home Console setting that shares your game purchases with the first console you set up with
your account, consumables can't be shared to a console.

Therefore your son can't see the V-Bucks in his account, as the V-Bucks are stored on your account, and not shared to the console.

In order to get your son V-Bucks, you would have to buy him a currency gift card, that your son then redeems, and with which he can then buy V-Bucks for himself.

Yes my name is listed in xbox.com. However i cannot change his name as I can for my other son on Microsoft.com. More importantly, when i log in to my epicgames.com account to redeem v bucks for Fortnite it has his gamer tag for xbox in my account.

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

I’m sorry to hear that your V-Bucks have not been claimed on Xbox. If you have redeemed a V-Bucks card through the Fortnite account on the back of the card and used the code generated to add to your individual Xbox account through Microsoft, but the V-Bucks do not show up on your child’s account on Xbox, you can try the following steps:
1. Check if the card was redeemed to the correct account.
2. Check if the V-Bucks are available on the account that redeemed the card.
3. Check if the V-Bucks are available on other platforms such as PC or mobile.

I hope this helps.
