Error messages / error codes
For all your questions regarding error messages / error codes, we kindly request you to contact Epic Games / Fortnite. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that we can under no circumstances offer you help in finding out the meaning of certain error messages / error codes.

Do you get an error message that your code has already been used? As soon as we have received the payment, your code will be activated and delivered immediately. This makes it technically impossible that your code has already been used. Probably something technically went wrong when redeeming the code, this error message can appear at the first use. Sometimes the steps below will help to solve this problem.
  • Make sure that you have redeemed the code on the correct account (for example, you redeemed the code on account A while logged in with account B).
  • Check the transaction history of the account where you redeemed the code.
  • Restart the device and log in again. This ensures that your credit is updated.
Is the problem not solved after this? Then please contact the publisher.
