You will no longer be able to redeem your free Minecraft Windows 10 code from Mojang. This had to be done by Monday 20th April 2020.

.

So I'm trying to redeem Minecraft for Windows 10 (I purchased the game back in 2011) and I keep getting this error upon hitting the redeem button:

Error! It looks like we've temporarily run out of gift codes for Minecraft for Windows 10. Don't worry though, more codes should be on their way. Please check back later!

Are there really no codes available right now or is this a error on my end somehow?

This thread has run its course and would be locked. Those seeking Minecraft Windows 10 edition should see a code on the redeem page.

Windows 10 Code Error - Fixed!

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360038403371-Windows-10-Code-Error

The redemption program would end on April 20, 2020 so make sure to get the code before.

If you purchased Minecraft Java Edition before October 18, 2018, you will see a button that says “Redeem” in your account.

·       If the button is grayed out, you’ve already claimed the code. Log in to your Microsoft account to redownload the game.

·       If you don’t have a Redeem button, you purchased Minecraft Java Edition after October 18, 2018 and are not eligible for this promotion.

update: 17th April 2020

Mojang are aware that there are no codes available at the moment, for those eligible. They are actively working on this and will get it working before the deadline.

Update: 18th April 2020

Mojang have posted that this problem with the codes has been resolved, and you should see the option to get your code if you are eligible. Please try redeeming your code now.

Update: 21st April 2020

Offer has now ended and you will be unable to redeem your Windows 10 Minecraft code now.

    no i think that was it thank you!

    If that was everything, I'd like to thank you again for contacting Xbox Customer Support. To properly end the chat session, please click on the "End chat" button on the upper right hand corner of the chat window.

    Have a wonderful rest of your day!

    THIS^^^ i just finished talking to a rep and i have the game on my account. just follow this and hope to get a rep that can help. please be kind to the customer support they are very helpful and do their best being toxic toward them will only hurt your chance to get the game.

    I followed the link, spoke to Finn and after providing a screenshot and waiting a very short amount of time, they managed to redeem the code on my microsoft account for me. They even stuck around while I was having sign in problems, and offered to use remote access to assist me further. So I can confirm that this works. I've been trying almost every day since November the 15th to get the code. Only took me two support chats in total to finally get it. I'm ever so happy :)

    edit -- just to add, i've also been following this thread since pretty much the start, so it's taken me a while but i've finally got it, don't give up if you're still trying :)

    Worked like a charm! I was chatting with Dalainne P., and she was super nice and helpful.  Good luck, guys!
