This comprehensive guide will walk you through the steps to claim your rightful reward, troubleshoot common issues, and maximize your FC Points spending.

The short answer: To get your 4600 FC Points, you need to have purchased the Ultimate Edition of EA FC 24 and followed the redemption process. This involves ensuring the game is officially released in your region, logging into Ultimate Team, and, in some cases, redeeming a single-use code (if required). If you still haven’t received your points, contacting EA Help is your best bet.

Step-by-Step Guide to Claiming Your 4600 FC Points

1. Verify Your Purchase: Double-check that you indeed purchased the Ultimate Edition of EA FC 24. It’s easy to get confused with other editions or subscriptions like EA Play Pro. Your purchase confirmation email or order history on your platform (PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, EA App) should clearly state “Ultimate Edition.”

2. Check Release Date in Your Region: The 4600 FC Points are typically granted when the game officially launches in your region. Even with early access, the points might not appear immediately. Be patient and wait for the official release date.

3. Redeem Your Code (If Applicable): Some retailers provide a single-use code for the Ultimate Edition content. This code needs to be redeemed on your platform of choice. On PlayStation, it’s through the PlayStation Store. On Xbox, it’s through the Microsoft Store. On Steam, there should be a button to “Redeem Ultimate Edition Content” located next to the Play button in the Steam library. If you do not see this button, make sure your Steam client is up to date. Check your email or the packaging of your physical copy for this code.

4. Log in to Ultimate Team: The most crucial step! The 4600 FC Points are usually automatically credited to your account upon your first login to Ultimate Team. Ensure you’re logging in with the correct EA account associated with your purchase.

5. Restart Your Game: If the points haven’t appeared after logging in, try completely closing and restarting EA FC 24. This forces the game to re-sync with the servers and recognize your Ultimate Edition entitlement.

6. Check for Additional Content: Log in to Clubs and create a Career Mode save while connected to EA servers to ensure all content is redeemed. These steps are referred to as “redeem” and is needed to access your pre-order and Ultimate Edition content.

7. Contact EA Help (If All Else Fails): If you’ve followed all the steps above and still haven’t received your 4600 FC Points, it’s time to reach out to EA Help. They can investigate your account and resolve any underlying issues. You can contact them through their website, Twitter, or Facebook. Provide them with proof of purchase and details of the issue.

What to Do With Your 4600 FC Points: Strategic Spending

Once you’ve successfully claimed your 4600 FC Points, the next question is: how to spend them wisely? Here are a few strategies:

• Opening Packs: The most common (and often most tempting) option. You can purchase various pack types in the Ultimate Team store, hoping to pack valuable players. However, remember that pack luck is random, and you might not always get what you’re hoping for.

• Entering Draft: Ultimate Draft allows you to build a squad from a selection of players and compete in a single-elimination tournament. Winning the draft earns you valuable rewards, including packs and coins. This is a great way to test out different players and earn rewards.

• Buying Items in the VOLTA FOOTBALL Store: If you enjoy the VOLTA FOOTBALL mode, you can use your FC Points to purchase cosmetic items and enhance your avatar’s style.

• Save Them: With the constant release of new promos and special cards, saving your points allows you to capitalize on opportunities to secure high-value players during key events.

Ultimately, the best way to spend your 4600 FC Points depends on your individual goals and playstyle. Consider your priorities and choose the option that will bring you the most enjoyment.
