What is a V-Bucks card, exactly? It is the in-game currency used in the Fortnite Item Shop to purchase cosmetics such as outfits, wraps, emotes, and weapon skins. V-Bucks can also be used to purchase the Seasonal Battle Pass.

How to Use Fortnite V-Bucks Cards
The redemption process is simple. On a PC or mobile device, head here to the official Epic Games V-Bucks card redemption site. Click "Get Started," which will ask you to sign in with your Epic Games account, if you're not already signed in. Once logged in, enter the PIN that was on the back of your V-Bucks card. Next, choose the platform you play Fortnite on. Once chosen, review the details, ensuring the correct email account and platform have been entered. Then click Confirm and your V-Bucks will be ready to spend on the new outfits and skins.
Note: Once redeemed, V-Bucks cards cannot be transferred between accounts. In some rare cases, you can contact Epic Games customer service, but it's always a good idea to verify that you're using your V-Bucks cards on the correct account before confirming the trade.
