How to redeem your Roblox gift card
Roblox is an established metaverseallowing players to share gaming projects and creations in real-time. Despite the game’s age, the platform is here to stay. And there’s always time to jump in andget started with Roblox. But for new players starting from scratch, you may opt for some of Roblox’s most luxurious resources and features to get ahead of the curve. For example, stocking up on Robux, the metaverse’s premium currency, may net your Roblox account some attractive cosmetics and access to private servers. Alternatively, you can always convert your riches into Roblox Credits — to later convert into Robux or buy a Roblox Premium membership.
Roblox is a time sink worth every penny you’ve spent. You can experience endless opportunities on yourshiny new Chromebook, tablet, and phone, or simply plan out your Roblox creations by dabbling into the app. But no matter the intention, you will want to start dressing up your Roblox account with helpful resources. So, today’s guide covers how to redeem a Roblox gift card to earn those sweet Robux credits while explaining the featured premium benefits.
It’s possible, but you’ll have to do a little work
How to redeem a Roblox gift card
Unfortunately, the Roblox app doesn’t directly support redeeming Roblox gift cards, so it requires you to log in on a mobile web browser for this process. However, we’ve streamlined this process for you below.
We’ve determined it is impossible to buy Robux with your Roblox gift card set as your payment method on the iOS and Android app. Essentially with Android, your linked Google account handles purchases done within apps on the Google Play Store. But you canredeem a Google Play Store gift cardas a quick workaround. For iPhone and iPad users, you can use Apple gift cards.
Where to locate your credit balance
You can check your credit balance on (1) theGift Card redemption pageor (2) visitingthe Billing Settings page. Ensure you’re logged into your account before visiting either page. The credit balance is found under theRedeembutton on (1) theGift Card redemption page, and the same balance can also be found underRoblox creditwhen (2) visitingthe Billing Settings page.
Receiving virtual items from Roblox gift cards
Purchasing and claiming Roblox gift cards includes freebies (often cosmetic). These virtual items become automatically added to your account after redeeming your card. However, there is a limit of one unique virtual item per account, and these items swap monthly.
Redeeming Roblox Credit into Robux versus buying a premium membership
Redeeming a Roblox gift card opens up several options on your account. The first is choosing to convert the funds into Robux, Roblox’s primary virtual currency. The second is to buy Roblox Premium, Roblox’s subscription service. If you’re looking for immediate funds to spend, Robux is the best option. Still, you may opt into Roblox Premium to unlock extra perks and features to benefit your overall experience on the platform; in either case, you’ll still acquire Robux.
Roblox Premium membership plans
Roblox Premium replaced the Builders Club when it rolled out; the available tiers reference how much Robux you’ll acquire monthly with your membership.
Unlocking Roblox Premium will allow you to gain a 10% Robux purchase bonus, the ability to trade items, exclusive discounts in the Avatar Shop and bonus accessories, and access to premium-only items found in experiences.
Roblox credit change and conversion
As of April 2023, Roblox credit won’t be denominated based on the US Dollar but instead in your local currency; Roblox didn’t support most currencies natively, so by default, everything became converted based on the US Dollar. As a result, you might receive less Roblox credit/Robux than previously acquired.
Where to buy Roblox gift cards
You can obtain Roblox gift cards digitally or buy a physical copy at an applicable retailer. Check out theRoblox gift card pageto see which options are available in your location. For digital purchases, tap on the retailer logo to be redirected to the purchase page.
The easiest method (and one of the safest) to purchase a gift card is by obtaining one directly on theRoblox gift card page. There are two options on this page:A FriendorFor Me; ensure you fill in the empty fields before proceeding. Once you’ve navigated to the next page, you will select the card for digital (email delivery) or physical copy (sent in the mail). You must choose the correct currency for your recipient; Roblox will not allow you to redeem gift cards from another country of origin.
Note: If you are sending a physical copy, you must input a valid address and pay an additional fee during checkout; you’ll also have to wait for the card to ship.
Once you’ve added the amount, clickAdd a Message(it is optional to write a message, but you need to visit this page to proceed to checkout). After adding the recipient’s address or email, you can finalize the order after selecting a delivery date.
Problems redeeming your Roblox gift card
Sometimes redeeming Roblox gift cards isn’t smooth sailing, and you may encounter issues like being sold a faulty card, falling for a scam at a retailer (it can happen), or potentially having a damaged card issued to the buyer. Thankfully there’s a way to contact Roblox Support in these unfortunate cases.
Steps to take when contacting Roblox Support
You must take clear pictures of your Roblox gift card and upload and record all the information listed below. The time it takes to open and close a ticket will vary depending on the overall ticket volume, so it’s best to remain patient and keep tabs on your messages and emails.
Can you redeem a Roblox gift card outside of your country?
The simple answer is no; the purchased physical gift card must match your account’s country (effective April 24, 2023). So, for example, if you live in the US, you cannot buy and redeem a gift card from Canada if you have a US account. Unfortunately, this could put a damper on gift exchanging with your friends who may reside in different countries and for taking part in community-based giveaways — or worse, if you’re a developer being sent gift cards as payment.
However, there’s still aloophole for global exchanges. Digital gift cards can still be redeemed globally, which may be the option to lean into for gifting internationally.
