Fetch and Fortnite: How to Get Free Fortnite V-Bucks With Fetch

By Connor Bonam

December 12, 2024

Getting free V-Bucks has always been a challenge. Thankfully, there’s a way to get V-Bucks on Fortnite by using the Fetch App. Here, we’ll break down exactly how to get free V-Bucks in Fortnite by using Fetch!

What are V-Bucks?

V-Bucks are an in-game currency used in Fortnite. Learn more about V-Bucks directly from Epic Games.

Get Fortnite V-Bucks for free by using Fetch

Fetch is America’s Rewards App. Fetch is the fastest way to get free gift cards for the App Store, Google Play Store, Xbox, Amazon, and many more.

You can earn free V-Bucks on Fortnite, with Fetch, by simply snapping your receipts for all of your shopping. Snapping receipts gives you points, which you can use to easily redeem for your preferred gift card, which you can then turn into V-Bucks.

How to get free V-Bucks in Fortnite with Fetch

Step 1 | Download the Fetch App

You can’t get free V-Bucks on Fortnite from Fetch if you don’t have the app. Go to the (Android) Google Play Store or the (Apple) iOS Store to install the app on your mobile phone or tablet.

Step 2 | Snap your receipts for Fetch Points

Fetch makes snapping receipts quick and easy. Just open the app, click the camera icon at the bottom of the screen and snap away. You will earn at least 25 points for every scan and hundreds of points for featured brands and special offers. You can even securely connect your email accounts and Amazon account, to Fetch, to instantly scan all of your online receipts for points.

Step 3 | Use your Fetch Points to get free gift cards you can put toward free V-Bucks

Visa gift cards can be used to purchase anything, and in this case, they can be used to purchase V-Bucks. Use your Fetch Points to get a free Visa gift card and then go to the Fortnite Official site to purchase more V-Bucks for your Fortnite account.

Does Fetch work directly with Fortnite?

Currently, Fetch does not work directly with Fortnite, as it does not offer Fortnite gift cards directly, in-app, as a reward. However, there are multiple ways to easily use Fetch Points to purchase Fortnite gift cards:

How to get free V-Bucks in Fortnite with Fetch Xbox gift cards

Microsoft PC and Xbox users can also redeem their Fetch gift cards for Xbox Gift Cards.

To add your gift card balance to the Xbox Store:

Search for Fortnite V-Bucks
Select the amount you want to purchase
Use your Xbox gift card redeemed from the Fetch App to purchase those V-Bucks.

How to get free V-Bucks in Fortnite with Fetch Playstation gift cards

Playstation users can also redeem their Fetch gift cards for Playstation gift cards.

To add your gift card balance to the Playstation Store

Search for Fortnite V-Bucks

Use your Playstation gift card redeemed from the Fetch App to purchase those V-Bucks.

How to get free V-Bucks in Fortnite with Fetch Amazon gift cards

Amazon gift cards can be used to purchase V-Bucks gift cards.

To use Amazon gift cards for free V-Bucks:

Redeem your Amazon gift card you got from the Fetch app
Search for V-Bucks in Amazon and select the amount you want
Redeem your V-Bucks gift card on the Fortnite game

How many Fetch Points do you need to get free V-Bucks in Fortnite?

That depends on which gift cards that you purchase with your Fetch Points. In general, you will need about 10,000 points to get a $10 gift card.

Do social media accounts and influencers work with Fetch to give users free V-Bucks?

Currently, Fetch is not working with any third-party social media accounts or influencers to directly award V-Bucks to users. If you see an influencer or social media account, especially on places like X and TikTok, offering free V-Bucks through Fetch, it is likely a scam and can be reported. You can use this link to report violations to X. You can report someone on TikTok with this link.

If you are unsure if the offer is valid, you can always reach out to the Fetch support team or connect with us on our social media channels.

Fortnite Jedis and Siths alike are probably well aware of past collaborations between these two universes, which include the addition of outfits for Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Stormtroopers, as well as a 2023 event where Force powers and a Star Wars battle pass were added to Fortnite.
