Fortnite has been selling physical V-Bucks, skin and cosmetic reward vouchers for years. These can be purchased from stores in exchange for cash, and their prices have remained consistent due to Epic branding the standard price on the top-right of each card. The \u201819 Dollar Fortnite Card\u2018 even became a viral meme in 2021 after a man in a clip showed off the $19 Fortnite V-Bucks card for an alleged giveaway and told viewers to \u201cshare, share, share\u201d if they want it. However, one Fortnite player brought to attention on the FortniteBR subreddit that \u201cThe $19 Fortnite card is no more,\u201d alongside an image of the new $22.99 2,800 V-Bucks voucher card. According to the player and many others in the Fortnite community, the revised voucher code has started to be introduced in various stores. It has increased the price from the classic $19 to $22.99, making it a $3 increase for the exact same amount of 2,800 V-Bucks. Players flooded in to reminisce in the viral meme, \u201cRip $19 Fortnite card,\u201d the top comment read. \u201cWho wants it? And yes I\u2019m giving it away. Remember, share! share! share! And trolls, don\u2019t get blocked!\u201d Meanwhile, others chimed in to repeat the iconic phrase from the viral meme. Despite this, various other players were naturally furious over having to spend more of their hard-earned cash. \u201cJeez, even back before the price drop in 2020, 2800 V-Bucks were worth only $20, if I remember correctly. Why are the physical ones so expensive?\u201d one replied. \u201cWhere I live it was $26.79 and now it\u2019s $29.99,\u201d one Fortnite fan even stated, as another added: \u201cI have officially lost all hope in humanity.\u201d Despite the backlash, many players echoed that \u201cthey are still out there. you just gotta be strong enough to go searching for them.\u201d Therefore, the era of the \u201919 Dollar Fortnite card\u2019 has not ended just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
