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!

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.

    Of course not, people should be made aware of what there doing, and its not just mojang, look at who owns mojang, its microsoft, and they are claiming no responsibility just because its a off branch of theres. as i said in my posts before, if you read them storm, i will no longer buy microsoft products or blizzard products. Buying there crap knowing what there doing just boldens them more, and soon they will consider them self a church and just have there hand out for nothing at the rate things are going.

    Problem is how do you get 1 millon people to wake up and stop buying there products, to many people dont care till it affects them, and there is a lot of people out there with so much money they can offord not to care.

    Mojang, microsoft, its not much different then multi branches of burger king or mcdonalds really. Unless people actually band to geather, something people dont do now since they would rather sit around crying then action. Nothing will change unless your able to hurt there name. At this point the only way to get results is simple since people wont band to geather, and that is to post every where what is going on and get, reviewers and youtubers and others on board to post about it.

    The only real fear a major compney has, with so many morons are out there and careless spenders, is there image getting sladered, and a few 100 people posting here on there own fourm they could care less that why the fourm is still even around.

    I was kinda surprised when they dident lock it after the first few posts, like they have in the past.

    The problem is what should we do now. We have been waiting for more than a month. Should we purchase game again? Should we waste money on thing we already own? Should we give mojang extra money just because they are careless about their customers? Well i dont think so purchasing game again makes any sense..

    Its no bug, they done this a few times before, its simple on what it is. Giving out the codes is a possible loss on people buying the win10 version that simple, they are trying to force us to just give up and pay them more money.

    Its a very simple tatic they have used a few time before, this is not at all the first time this has happened and wont be the last if they ever have it work again, try searching harder there is a ton of posts about this happening before.

    I barely scanned the posts search, under duck duck go, and with in the first 10 i seen some from 2017.....................................

    And it was litterly the exact same problem as now, a claim that they run out of codes, a probley that is fixable with in a week easily, let alone over a month, and the fact they will not even respond at all to there support tickets expect with a email saying they are back logged.... i wonder why, they are back logged probley 1000 people messaging them about this due to them not fixing it at all.

    If you took the time to read threw the posts you would see this was all said before, but lazy people reading 2-3 and commenting on a 11 page forum is kinda, well use your brain and figure it out.
