How to redeem a Minecraft gift card
Head to the gift card redeem section on Minecraft’s website.
Scroll down to the gift card you wish to redeem.
Then enter the code on the back of the card into the box where it says ‘ENTER CODE’.
What are the dangers of gift cards?
Gift cards can only be redeemed once and are redeemable by anyone who has access to them.
Losing a gift card or having it stolen can also be a headache.
The good news? Minecraft only offers eCards, which means you don’t need to keep track of a physical card.
But this means users must be extra careful not to share their email information with anybody and that their accounts are secure.
Are there any Minecraft gift card scams to watch out for?
Gift card scams have surged in the past couple years, as scammers get more creative with their cons.
Criminals can often lure people into parting with their cash through fake offers on dodgy websites or on second-hand marketplaces.
Fraudsters may also trick people – or children – into parting with their code online.
This means the bad actor will be able to redeem the voucher and not its intended user.
