I got a message saying my product code can't be redeemed through the EA app or Origin for Mac. What should I do?

Check the instructions that came with your code — they should list the URL where you should go to redeem your product code. The EA app or Origin will send you to that URL when possible, but double check the product code instructions to make sure you redeem your code in the right place.

Some codes may even give you extra content when you redeem them at a specific URL. Read all instructions carefully so you don't miss out!

It says my code has already been redeemed. What do I do now?

Your best bet is to go back to the retailer you bought the code from. They should be able to help you get a new code.

If you bought the game secondhand, it’s likely that the original owner used the code already. We can’t help with codes that have already been used on other players’ accounts.

What if my code is expired?

If the code you’re trying to use has expired, we aren’t able to help. Make sure you check expiration dates on codes for the games you buy to be aware of any redemption expirations or restrictions.

If you bought the code from a retailer and it was already expired, contact the retailer for more help.

I redeemed a product code, but nothing new appeared in my games. What happened?

Check to see if you bought the full game or other content. It’s possible you redeemed downloadable content (DLC) or a subscription that can only be accessed once you start playing the game.
