Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Redeeming FIFA Points
We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of FAQs to address any lingering questions you might have.
1. What are FIFA Points used for?
FIFA Points are an in-game currency used in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT). They allow you to purchase packs, enter Ultimate Draft, and buy stadium customization items. Essentially, they accelerate your progress in building your dream team.
2. I redeemed my FIFA Points code, but I don’t see them in the game! What should I do?
Don’t panic! Here are a few things to try:
- Restart FIFA: Close the game completely and relaunch it. This often forces the game to refresh your account balance.
- Restart your console/PC: A simple restart can sometimes resolve connectivity issues that prevent your points from appearing.
- Check your transaction history: Log in to your PlayStation Network (PSN), Xbox Live, or Origin/EA App account to verify that the code was successfully redeemed.
- Contact EA Help: If none of the above steps work, reach out to the EA Help team directly. They can investigate your account and help resolve the issue.
3. Can I transfer FIFA Points from one FIFA game to another?
You can transfer FIFA Points from the previous year’s game (e.g., FIFA 22) to the current year’s game (e.g., FIFA 23) only within the same console family. This means you can transfer points from FIFA 22 on Xbox Series X
| S to FIFA 23 on Xbox Series X | S, but not from FIFA 22 on Xbox Series X |

4. I pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 23. Where are my 4600 FIFA Points?
The 4600 FIFA Points that come with the Ultimate Edition are usually automatically added to your account upon launching the game for the first time. If you don’t see them, try the troubleshooting steps mentioned in FAQ #2. Ensure you are using the account that pre-ordered the game. Sometimes, a delayed sync between your console and EA servers can cause delays in point delivery. Be patient!
5. Can I use a FIFA 22 Points code on FIFA 23?
No, FIFA 22 Points codes cannot be redeemed on FIFA 23. Each game has its own specific codes. The only way to get FIFA points from the previous game is to transfer them when you first launch the new version.
6. I got a message saying there’s a region mismatch between my EA Account and the FIFA disc. What does this mean?
This error means that the region associated with your EA Account does not match the region of the FIFA game disc you are using. To resolve this, you need to use an EA Account that matches the region of your game disc. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use FIFA Points until this issue is resolved.
7. How do I find my FIFA 23 product code?
Your FIFA 23 product code is typically found in one of the following places:
- Digital Purchase: In your email confirmation from the retailer where you purchased the game.
- Physical Copy (PC): Inside the game box, on a card or insert.
- Origin/EA App: Right-click the game in your game library, select “Game Properties,” and the code will be displayed.
8. What’s the difference between a FIFA Points code and a redeem code for something else in FIFA?
A FIFA Points code is specifically for adding FIFA Points to your account. A general “redeem code” could be for other in-game items, promotions, or even game trials. Always carefully read the description associated with the code to understand what you are redeeming. These can sometimes be acquired through official EA Sports channels.
9. I keep getting an error message when trying to redeem my code. What could be causing this?
Several factors can cause redemption errors:
- Incorrect Code: Double-check that you’ve entered the code correctly, paying close attention to capitalization and numbers.
- Invalid Code: The code may be expired or already redeemed.
- Server Issues: Temporary issues with EA’s servers can sometimes prevent code redemption. Try again later.
- Region Lock: As mentioned before, a region mismatch between your account and the code can cause errors.
10. Can I redeem FIFA Points codes on the FIFA Mobile app?
The process for redeeming codes in FIFA Mobile is different. Log into your FIFA/EA account at www.origin.com. Choose “My Game Library” from the navigation. Select “Add A Game” then “Redeem Product Code.” Enter your coupon after selecting “Redeem Product Code.” Then, select “Redeem.”
11. Where do I go to get help if my code is not working?
For any issues related to code redemption or missing FIFA Points, the best place to get help is the EA Help website. You can also contact them through Twitter or Facebook.
12. Are there any alternatives to buying FIFA Points?
Yes, there are a few ways to improve your Ultimate Team without spending real money on FIFA Points:
- Playing Games: Earn coins by playing matches in various game modes like Division Rivals, Squad Battles, and FUT Champions.
- Completing Squad Building Challenges (SBCs): SBCs offer valuable rewards, including packs and player items.
- Trading: Buy and sell players on the transfer market to generate profit.
These methods require more time and effort but can be just as rewarding.
13. Is it possible to get free FIFA Points?
While there are no legitimate ways to generate FIFA Points for free directly, EA Sports occasionally offers promotions or rewards that include FIFA Points. Keep an eye on their social media channels and in-game announcements for opportunities to earn extra points. Be wary of websites or services that claim to offer free FIFA Points, as they are likely scams.
14. I pre-ordered the EA Play Pro Edition of FIFA 23. Are the FIFA Points delivered all at once?
The EA Play Pro Edition of FIFA 23 often provides FIFA Points, but they may be delivered in monthly installments rather than all at once. Check the terms of your subscription to understand the distribution schedule.

Once you have your FIFA Points, the fun begins! You can use them to:
- Buy Packs: Open packs in the FUT Store to acquire new players and items.
