Why a Russian card is declined
Epic Games does not accept cards from Russian banks. Since 2022, Visa and Mastercard cards from Russian banks do not work abroad, and Mir Epic Games does not accept them, so the payment is rejected.
The P2D card is issued in USD overseas, so it can be used for purchases in the Epic Games Store and Fortnite.
Paying for Epic Games with a P2D card
For Epic Games use the P2D virtual card “Purchases and subscriptions”. You complete the purchase yourself in your account - you don’t need to give your password to anyone.
A month of Fortnite Crew costs $11.99: after debiting and a fee of $0.75, there will be $12.26 left on the card. For 800 V-Bucks, $9.74 is enough, for 12,500 V-Bucks, top up the card to at least $90.74.
For subsequent purchases, you do not need to pay for the issue again - just top up the card. Top-up via SBP with no fee.

If a Epic Games payment fails
First, understand where it all stopped: the card was declined, a verification code is needed, or the V-Bucks did not arrive.
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Card declined | Check that the card covers the payment plus the $0.75 fee, and compare the card details. If they are correct, write to P2D support with the time, amount and error text |
| The form asks you to confirm the payment | Confirm the payment the way your P2D account describes, and keep the payment window open until it finishes |
| V-Bucks did not appear | Restart Fortnite and make sure you're signed in to the same Epic account. On consoles, V-Bucks from different stores are not always transferred |
| Crew did not last | Top up your card with $11.99 and fees - Epic will repeat the charge |
| Purchase “in process” | Don't pay again, wait and check your Epic account transaction history |
Do not pay a second time until you have checked the first attempt. You can be charged twice. Never send the full card number or CVC to support.
