What does the error message that appears mean?

The five most frequently appearing messages, and only two of them you can still fix.

The meaning of the error message when exchanging codes
OrderMeaningStill can be repaired
Failed to swapCode quota has run outNo
Code is not validOutdated or typo codeSometimes, check the spelling
Codes for other regionsCode is published to another serverNo
Can't enter the portalYour account has guest statusYes, connect to the platform
The code has already been usedYour account has been changedNo, check the in-game safe

The first row is the most cases. Codes for great prizes often sell out within minutes of being announced, so a delay of even a few hours can be enough to lose your prize.

Pay attention to the last line. If the message says the code has been used, the prize has probably already been received. Check the vault and inbox before concluding the code failed.

How to exchange codes correctly?

Six steps, and the first step determines the rest.

  1. Make sure your account is connected to a platform. Guest accounts cannot log into the redemption portal at all.
  2. Go to the official portal in reward.ff.garena.com via browser.
  3. Sign in with the exact same platform like the one you use in the game.
  4. Copy the code, don't retype it. The letter O and the number zero are the most frequent sources of error.
  5. Submit, then wait for on-screen confirmation. Don't press multiple times because requests may be duplicated.
  6. Open the game, check the vault or inbox. Rewards do not appear in inventory immediately.
The fourth step resolves most cases of invalid code. Most codes use capital letters and numbers that are easily confused.

Why does the code go off even though the date hasn't passed yet?

Because the code is limited by two things at once: time and number of exchangers.

Whichever is reached first will turn off the code. For popular giveaways, the amount limit is almost always reached well before the deadline, sometimes within minutes.

Two limits that kill the code
LimitsHow it worksWhat you can do
DeadlineThe code dies on a certain dateExchange the same day it is announced
Quantity limitThe code dies when the exchange quota is fullExchange ASAP, there is no other way
Regional boundariesCode is for one server onlyMake sure the code is intended for your server
Clearing browser cache or switching devices does not restore used quota. The check is done on the server, not on your device.

Therefore this page does not contain a code list. Code written on any page will almost certainly be dead before you read it.

Where does the official code actually come from?

From the official announcement channel, and almost always announced at the same time as an event.

The fourth line describes an experience that often makes you upset. The code pool site copied the official announcement a few hours later, and by then the quota had long been exhausted.

The most effective way to get a live code is to follow the official channel and exchange it at the same time it is announced.

The prize has arrived but can't be seen, where did it go?

Code rewards go to your vault or inbox, not directly to inventory.

This is a very common source of confusion. The player sees a success confirmation in the portal, then opens inventory and finds nothing, thus concluding the exchange failed.

  1. Open the game and wait until it enters the lobby completely.
  2. Open the safe or inbox menu, depending on the type of gift.
  3. Collect the prizes manually, because some do not enter automatically.
  4. If there isn't one, wait until one day before concluding it's failed.
  5. If a day passes and it's still empty, note down the exchange time then report it to official support.
Some prizes have an expiration date after they arrive in the box. If you don't take it by the time limit, the prize is lost without being returned.

The official reporting channels and data that need to be prepared are described in account recovery page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the FF redeem code keep failing?

The most common cause is that the exchange quota is full. Popular codes can die in a matter of minutes even though their expiration date is still long.

What does the exchange failure message mean?

This means that the code has reached the limit for the number of exchangers. Retyping or trying on another device will not change the results.

Can I exchange codes using a guest account?

Can't. The exchange portal requires logging in via the platform, while guest accounts do not have an identity for that. First connect to Facebook, Google, or another platform.

Where is the official code redemption portal?

Only at reward.ff.garena.com. Other portals that ask for your account data do not belong to the game publisher.

Why don't codes from abroad work?

Because the code is tied to one server region. Codes issued to other servers will be rejected by the system even if the letters are correct.

How long does the reward code take to enter?

Generally a matter of hours and a maximum of about a day. Rewards appear in the vault or inbox, not directly in the inventory.

Why is the prize not in inventory?

Because the code reward is sent to the vault or inbox and has to be retrieved manually from there.

Does clearing cache restore code quota?

No. Quota checks are done on the server, so anything you delete on your device has no effect.

Do any coding apps work?

There isn't any. Codes are only valid when published from official databases, so application-generated fonts will never match.

Why do code collection sites always provide dead code?

Because they copy from the official announcement a few hours later, and by then the quota is usually used up.

How do I get a live code?

Follow the official announcement channel and exchange it at the same time the code is announced. A few hours late is usually too late.

Can prizes be lost after they arrive in the box?

Can. Some prizes have a validity period in the inbox and are lost if not collected before the deadline.
