Epic Games is giving away a free backbling in Fortnite, and all you need is a Gift Card to grab it. Since this reward is tied to a real-world purchase, it is very unlikely to show up in the Item Shop later. So if you want it, now is the time to act. Here's everything you need to know about the Spring Bunzy Backbling in Fortnite and how to get it before the offer ends.

When Can You Get Spring Bunzy Backbling?

The Spring Bunzy is a limited back bling that Epic Games is handing out for free as part of a Gift Card promotion. It has a spring theme, fitting right in with the current season. The best part? You don't need to spend any V-Bucks to get it. You just need to redeem a Fortnite Gift Card to your Epic Games account, and the back bling will be yours.

The Spring Bunzy promotion runs until April 19th, 2026, so you have a little under a month to get your hands on a Gift Card and redeem it. Don't wait too long, though, because once the deadline passes, the offer is gone for good.

However, make sure that you are living in the regions where official Fortnite Gift Cards are sold. Here's a full list of eligible countries:

  • Australia
  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Canada
  • Czech Republic
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Ireland
  • Italy
  • Japan
  • Mexico
  • New Zealand
  • Norway
  • Poland
  • Portugal
  • Romania
  • Spain
  • Sweden
  • Switzerland
  • The Netherlands
  • United Kingdom
  • United States

If your country isn't on this list, unfortunately, the promotion won't work for you even if you manage to find a Gift Card.

How to Get the Spring Bunzy Backbling in Fortnite for Free

You just need a new Fortnite Gift Card to get this backbling for free, not the old V-Bucks cards. Epic has been phasing out V-Bucks Cards worldwide, so make sure you pick up the newer Gift Card version. Here are the steps to redeem it:

  1. Scan the QR code on the back of your Gift Card, or go to Epic Games directly.
  2. Type in the 16-digit code from your Gift Card into the redemption field.
  3. Click Redeem and double-check that you're logged into the correct Epic Games account.
  4. On the next page, click Continue, then hit Redeem Now to complete the process.

Once you log into Fortnite, the Spring Bunzy Backbling will be waiting in your locker. If this is your first time redeeming a Fortnite Gift Card, you will also receive the GHOST Monks skin completely free on top of the Spring Bunzy. That's two free cosmetics in one redemption!

Important Things to Remember

There are a few things worth keeping in mind before you head out to grab a Gift Card.

  • Make sure your card is new. Older Gift Cards or cards from previous years may not trigger the Spring Bunzy reward.
  • Use the right account. Before you confirm the redemption, check that you're logged into the correct Epic Games account. Once a code is redeemed, it can't be moved to another account.
  • Don't wait until the last minute. The offer ends on April 19th, 2026.

The Spring Bunzy Backbling is a very easy free cosmetic to grab if you're already thinking about topping up your V-Bucks. Since it won't be coming to the Item Shop, this Gift Card promo is truly the only way to get it. If you're in an eligible country, it's worth picking one up while the offer is still live!
