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.

    It took asking for an escalation (ie talking to a senior agent or whatever MS refers to them as) but it got pushed along and Minecraft was added to my account

    This was the final email several days after the last escalation...

    “ Good day! We have updated your game for minecraft windows 10. Please check the store page and install it. Please reply on this email once you have access the game. 

    The license is already activated, so it should work now for you to access it. ”

    Did it

    Thank you so much!

    so now?

    I am checking now for an approval of the code for your Minecraft Windows 10 Edition.

    ok ok

    Yes please bear with me.

    Thanks for patiently waiting Davide.

    I am now going manually apply your copy of Minecraft for Windows 10 here on your account.

    oh, that's very kind of you <3

    I just want to help you on this.

    I will be right back.

    sure, tkae your time

    I'm sorry to keep you waiting Davide.

    no worries

    so, after a month, did I get my copy?

    For some reason, I kept getting an error when I tried to apply the license of the game to your account.

    I'm gonna cry

    I believe it is because your account is not signed in yet on any of our websites. Can you please go to live.xbox.com and sign in your account.

    sure, i'll try

    Thank you!

    ok now I logged in

    Okay thank you.

    Were you assigned a default Gamertag after signing in?

    dunno, I logged in with my microsoft account

    Did you sign in your email account ******@tiscali.it?

    yes

    Step 6: Congrats, you are signed in! Note Privacy and security settings on Xbox are managed at the individual account level, allowing you full customization of your Xbox experience. You will be able to see the default privacy settings associated with your Microsoft account, based on the age of the account owner. Default settings do not reflect any customization you may have already put in place.

    I followed the six steps to log in in xbox without an xbox tag

    Can you please try signing in on Xbox.com?

    I would love to, but is phisically impossible! I can't click the "Sign in" button because it's only a phrase without a link

    How about on this link? https://www.xbox.com/en-US/

    nope, it doesn't give me the permission to log in

    could I ask a question?

    Yes sure.

    It's a bad idea if I get the code that I can insert in the "Redeem your code or gift card" on the microsoft page?

    Not really but from our end, we do not have the option to generate the code. We can only apply the license of the game to your account which is giving me an error doing so.

    If I try to login, that's what appears:" We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found. The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available."

    Oh that is odd. How about on this link: https://account.xbox.com/en-us/social?xr=socialtwistnav&rtc=1

    We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found. The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available.

    same error

    If I try to login to xbox and after I put the email I clock next, that's the message that appears

    WAIT

    MAYBE I RESOLVED IT

    Yes, what is it?

    I got the error

    even if I try to login with my microsoft account, it keeps saying me I need to create the "xbox account", but when I click next to create it, it appears the message "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found. The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available."

    You can't give the code to my microsoft account instead of the xbox one?

    We cannot either generate code even if it is for Xbox One as we mentioned earlier, The reason why it is giving us an error apply the license of the game to your account is because your account doesn't have a Gamertag associated to it yet.

    Do you have the Xbox Companion app installed on your PC?

    yeah I just opened it

    Okay please try signing in your account on there.

    I DID IT

    FINALLY

    Thank you so much!

    Let me pull up your account again here from our end.

    Go ahead...my godness what a painful hour that was haha

    Yes that's weird why it was giving you an error signing in on the websites.

    not only, if I search "xbox" on google and try to sign in from there, it doesn't appears the button to sign in, just the words "Sign in"

    Anyway, I have already applied the license for your copy of Minecraft for Windows 10 game on your account. You should be able to install it now on your PC.

    I just need to go store and download it?

    Yes Davide.

    Vienna, thank you for everything...you are the best <3
