UID top-up vs gift code: destination control

A UID top-up is assigned to the account named in the order. A gift code is generally assigned when someone redeems it, subject to its issuer's conditions.

Your next steps

  1. Check whether you know the intended game ID and server.
  2. If gifting, confirm the recipient's store country.
  3. Compare delivery timing and whether the recipient must take action.

The details that make a difference

The UID route requires an accurate destination before payment. The code route requires secure handling afterward, because anyone with the code may attempt redemption.

Neither route is universally available for every game or region. Start with compatible options and compare the final cost only after that.
