This is a listing of the various games and how I get credits into them for my kid. Of course these aren’t the only possible ways, just the ways that I’ve chosen that seem to work for me.

I put this list here primarily so that I could use it. I have been getting the various methods mixed up, and futzing around trying to figure it out every time my kid asks is annoying.

Fortnite
  1. Log in to kid’s Epic Games account from a browser - use incognito mode to keep their account separate

  2. Approve purchase on adult phone - note, the price will now include taxes
