Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this Fortnite V-Bucks card code thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I saw a bunch of stuff online about unused codes for 2023, and I got curious. Could I really snag some free V-Bucks? Only one way to find out, right?
First, I started looking for these codes. I found a ton of websites and videos claiming to have them, but a lot of them seemed pretty sketchy. It’s like everyone and their grandma is promising free V-Bucks, but you gotta be careful. There are a lot of scams out there. I stayed away from those that asked me to download something or complete surveys.

After a while, I found some codes that seemed somewhat legit. They were just long strings of numbers and letters. Then I went to the official website of the game, I logged into my Epic Games account. I clicked on my username at the top right corner. Then, I found this “Redeem Code” option and clicked it.
I typed in one of the codes, held my breath, and clicked “Redeem.”
- First try: Nothing. It said the code was invalid or already used.
- Second try: Same result. I started to think maybe this whole thing was a bust.
- Third try: Still no luck. But, I’m not one to give up easily.
I kept trying different codes, one after another. Most of them didn’t work, I went through maybe like 20 codes, and guess what? One of them actually worked! I couldn’t believe it. The screen showed a message saying the code was successfully redeemed, but sadly, it wasn’t for V-Bucks. It was some spray or emote, I can’t even remember which one.
It wasn’t what I was hoping for, but hey, it was something. It proved that some of these codes, at least the ones from somewhat reliable sources, can actually work. It seems like getting free V-Bucks this way is super rare. You’re more likely to get some cosmetic item or something.
My takeaway from this whole experience?
Well, it’s kind of a mixed bag. It is possible to get something, but the chances of getting V-Bucks are pretty slim. You’ll probably waste a lot of time trying a bunch of duds. And you really have to be careful about where you get these codes from. Stick to the official stuff or well-known sources. If you are looking for some easy V-Bucks, this may not the best way. But I did get a free spray, so that’s something, I guess. That’s pretty much my experience, just wanted to share it with you guys.
