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.

    I put inquiries on the official Minecraft help site, and at the end of the wait I got the code!

    I sent a mail to Nov 24, 17:02 UTC.

    If you still haven't received the code, you can get it by sending an inquiry.

    Like I received.Please understand if my sentence doesn't look natural. I used a translator.

    Hey there,

    _______________________________________________ (What I sent)

    I am the one who bought Minecraft before October 18, 2018. So I want to get the code for Minecraft Windows 10 edition for free. Because the method was written on Minecraft's official homepage. But I didn't get the code. For four days! It always shows the same error message. We don't have enough code in stock!

    When can I get a free code?

    I'm wondering if it's absolutely correct that you're still providing the free code.

    I bought Minecraft JavaEdition in 2012, but I didn't get a free code for Minecraft Windows 10 edition.

    Don't resent my accent. It was written with the help of a friend of a kind translator. Because I am Korean.
