How to buy and redeem Battle.net gift cards without the hassle
Why Battle.net gift cards still make sense
If you play anything on Battle.net, you already know the platform covers a lot of ground. World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, Hearthstone, StarCraft, and Call of Duty all run through it. A gift card lets you load balance directly into your account, so you skip the credit card screen every time you want something.
That matters for a few reasons. Maybe you do not want a card on file. Maybe you are buying for someone else. Maybe your bank blocks international transactions and you need a workaround. A gift card handles all three.
What we stock and what it costs
Our store carries Battle.net gift cards in two currencies: Brazilian Real and Canadian Dollar. Prices are approximate and convert to USD at checkout.
Brazilian Real denominations
- BRL 30 card for about 6 USD
- BRL 50 card for about 10 USD
- BRL 100 card for about 20 USD
- BRL 150 card for about 32 USD
- BRL 300 card for about 63 USD
Canadian Dollar denominations
- CAD 30 card for about 21 USD
- CAD 60 card for about 42 USD
- CAD 100 card for about 70 USD
The BRL cards are the cheaper option if you are trying to stretch your budget. The CAD cards make more sense if your Battle.net account region is set to Canada or you want a denomination that lines up with North American pricing.
Which currency should you pick
This is the part people get wrong. Battle.net gift cards are region-locked. A BRL card works on accounts set to Brazil. A CAD card works on accounts set to Canada. You cannot apply a BRL card to a US account or a CAD card to a European one.
Before you buy, check your account region. Log into Battle.net, go to your account settings, and look at the country or region listed there. If it says Brazil, grab a BRL card. If it says Canada, grab a CAD card. If it says something else, neither will work and you should look for a card that matches your region.
Yes, you can change your account region in some cases. Blizzard allows it under certain conditions, but it is not guaranteed and can take time. Do not buy a card assuming you will change regions later. Buy the card that matches your current setup.
How to buy on our store
The purchase flow is simple.
- Pick the denomination and currency that matches your Battle.net region.
- Add it to your cart and check out.
- Pay in USD. The approximate prices listed above are what you will see.
- Receive your code by email once the order is confirmed.
Codes usually arrive within minutes. If something goes wrong or the email does not show up, check your spam folder first, then reach out to support@blinkcodes.com and we will sort it out.
How to redeem your code
Once you have the code, redemption takes about a minute.
- Go to store.battle.net and log into your account.
- Click on your account name in the top right and select Account Management.
- Find the section for gift card or code redemption. It is usually labeled clearly on the page.
- Enter your code exactly as it appears in the email. No spaces needed in most cases, but copy and paste to be safe.
- Confirm and submit. The balance appears in your account immediately.
If the code is rejected, double-check that your account region matches the card currency. A BRL code on a Canadian account will not work. This is the most common issue we see, and it is always a region mismatch.
What you can spend the balance on
Once the balance is loaded, you can use it for almost anything sold directly through Battle.net. That includes full games, expansion packs, game time subscriptions for World of Warcraft, and in-game currency or items for titles like Hearthstone and Overwatch.
You cannot use Battle.net balance for purchases made through third-party platforms or for physical merchandise from the Blizzard gear store. Stick to digital content sold on Battle.net itself and you will be fine.
Balance does not expire in most regions, but policies can vary. Spend it when you want. Do not stress about a ticking clock.
A few things to keep in mind
Buy the right region. That is rule one. Everything else is easy. If you are gifting a card to someone, ask them what region their account is in before you purchase. Sending a CAD card to a friend in Brazil means a support ticket and a frustrating back and forth.
Keep your confirmation email until the code is redeemed and the balance shows up. If there is ever a dispute, that email is your proof of purchase.
If you run into any issues with delivery, codes, or redemption, contact support@blinkcodes.com. We handle these regularly and can usually resolve problems fast.
Bottom line
Battle.net gift cards are a clean way to fund your account without leaving payment details on file. Pick the right currency, buy the denomination that fits your budget, redeem in under a minute, and spend on whatever you play. The BRL cards offer the best value if your account is in Brazil. The CAD cards are the play for Canadian accounts. Match the region, enter the code, and you are good to go.
