Battle.net Gift Card (US): $5 to $50

You buy a Battle.net gift card on this page by picking an amount ($5, $10, $20 or $50 US) and clicking Buy now, which takes you to that card on Kinguin. You pay and get the code on Kinguin, not here. GiftCardEver does not sell the card. We link to Kinguin and may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. All four US amounts are linked today.

A US Battle.net gift card only works on Battle.net accounts whose shop shows prices in US dollars. Per Blizzard Support, you can only claim a balance card if its currency matches the currency shown to you in the Battle.net Shop, which is set by the Country of Residence in your Account Settings. A card in the wrong currency is refused with an error saying its currency is not supported in your region. Blizzard Support cannot convert balance between currencies, so check your country first.

You redeem a Battle.net gift card on the website or in the Battle.net app, per Blizzard Support.

1. Website: log in to your Account Overview, enter the code in the Redeem a Code box and click Redeem Code.
2. Desktop app: log in, click your profile icon at the top right and click Redeem Code.
3. Mobile app: log in, tap Profile, expand the Account section and choose Redeem Code.
4. Check that the balance now shows as a payment option in the Battle.net Shop.

Each code can be redeemed once.

Buying a Battle.net card through Kinguin means buying from one of many independent sellers on a marketplace, so check the seller rating before you pay. Kinguin offers Buyer Protection as an optional add-on for a small extra fee at checkout. Keep your order page, and if a code fails, contact Kinguin support, not Blizzard, since Blizzard did not sell you the code. GiftCardEver only links to Kinguin and may earn a commission; we do not handle orders or support.

Battle.net Balance from a gift card buys Blizzard games, digital game time, services and in-game items in supported Blizzard games, including Overwatch Coins. It cannot pay for a recurring subscription, per Blizzard Support, so World of Warcraft players use it for prepaid game time instead. Battle.net Balance has no cash value, cannot be withdrawn and cannot be moved to another person or account.

Battle.net Balance has no expiry date or fee listed in Blizzard’s terms, but US state law can still take long-unused balance. Per Blizzard Support, some states escheat unused Battle.net Balance twice a year, and Blizzard notifies you before it is sent to the state. If that happens, you can reclaim it through your state’s unclaimed property process.

You check your Battle.net Balance by logging in to your Battle.net account, where Blizzard shows it as a payment option when you buy something in the Battle.net Shop. If your balance looks lower than expected or is missing, Blizzard Support has a guide for missing balance.

You can send an unused Battle.net gift card code to a friend, as long as their Battle.net shop also shows US dollars. Send the code itself, not your account details. Once a code is redeemed, the balance stays on that account, because Blizzard’s terms say Battle.net Balance is non-transferable to another person or account.

A Battle.net account can hold up to $350 in Battle.net Balance, or $110 if no Authenticator is linked, per Blizzard Support. Blizzard’s terms also limit spending with Battle.net Balance to $2,000 per day and allow no more than three accounts with a balance. If you plan to stack several $50 cards, link the Battle.net Authenticator first so the code is not refused.

Scammers ask for Battle.net gift cards because a code is hard to trace once it is shared. Real companies, the IRS and tech support never ask you to pay with a gift card. Never give a code to someone who asks for it by phone, text or chat. If it happened to you, read the FTC guide on avoiding and reporting gift card scams and contact Blizzard right away.
