One of the best things about Fortnite is the variety of cosmetic items. After all, wearing a Batman skin and teaming up with LeBron James and Lady Gaga does sound fun! However, most players are unaware that they can get cashback for their Fortnite purchases. If you are one of these players, our guide will explain how to do this.
The process of getting cashback is very simple and requires no extra effort. The only difference is that you will be buying Fortnite cosmetics and V-Bucks from the Epic Games Store instead of directly from the game.
How to get 20% cashback on Fortnite purchases
When you buy Fortnite items from the Epic Games Store, you can earn 20% cashback. Epic offers a wide range of cosmetic items, including packs and bundles, all available through its digital storefront. Plus, you’ll receive cashback on V-Bucks purchases as well. In the past, the cashback rate was 5%, but Epic boosted it all the way to 20% in 2025.
To get cashback in Fortnite, follow these steps:
- Open Epic Games Store
- Browse Fortnite items
- Choose the item you want to purchase
- Complete the checkout in the store
Thanks to the cashback, your V-Bucks purchases are effectively 20% cheaper than before. Let’s take a look at a detailed calculation and the cost of V-Bucks after the cashback.
| V-Bucks Amount | Original price | 20% cashback | Final cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 V-Bucks | $8.99 | $1.80 | $7.19 |
| 2,800 V-Bucks | $22.99 | $4.60 | $18.39 |
| 5,000 V-Bucks | $36.99 | $7.40 | $29.59 |
| 13,500 V-Bucks | $89.99 | $18.00 | $71.99 |
You can access the Epic Games Store from any browser, including on your mobile phone. In the past, you needed to wait for 14 days to receive cashback, which is now granted instantly. Once granted, you can use your balance toward future purchases in the store, whether for Fortnite items or anything else.
To check your cashback balance, you will need to visit the Epic Rewards section of your account. This will show your current balance, pending rewards, and any cashback set to expire soon. Keep in mind that you have 25 months to spend your Epic Rewards balance or it will go to waste.
