Gifting not working

I've recently switched from ps4 to PC and want to gift some of the coming collection to my PC account. I only recently friended my PC account and played a couple of games with it. But when I look at the gifting list my PC account didn't come up. I understand that friends have to be in 'good standing' but don't know how to get into that list. I have friends which I've only played around 1 or 2 games with and they are in that gifting list.

  • Hello @Arrrrryan666,

    there is a couple of requirements for this, one of which is that you have to have been friends for two weeks before you can give someone gifts. As you said that you've only recently switched, I assume that it's been less than two weeks. 

    Here is a help article regarding gifting gifts in Apex Legends.

    Hope this helps!

    Hello @biothorin,

    if it says not eligible, then one of you most likely doesn't fulfil all the requirements listed here.

    Please ensure you both fulfil all the criteria. As I don't have access to your account details here in the forum, I can't tell why you might not be eligible.

  • I have the same problem I’m just wondering did the problem fix for u and if it did how to fix it if u know 

  • @EA_Pythia After I selected a friend gift, a page popped up saying that I had made a gift error, we have been friends for a few years, and all requirements were met
  • Why is this still not fixed a year later? I have been “friends” with most of my friends on Xbox for years, have played Apex with them, and they are still not appearing as being able to gift. 

    There are gamers that I may have played with one night with and they are showing on my list. My two brothers are appearing but nobody else does. Is this an EA account thing, because that’s lame. It also states nothing about the recipient needing to be EA Verified, only the gifter. So what gives? I meet all the criteria and am still denied. 

    “Send gifts in Apex Legends

    To send your friend a gift, you need to:

    “Receive gifts in Apex Legends

    To get gifts from a friend, you need to:

    Also, how am I supposed to send friend requests to people I’m already friends with in-game but not on EA? How the hell are you supposed to find friends when there’s no “friends” tab on the site? Only available on the PC app? Why is there no phone app yet? What a flawed system. 

    “Can’t find friend in list

    Your friend may need to accept your friend request in-game. Once they do, you can send them gifts once you’ve been friends in-game for at least two weeks.

    If you’re playing on PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam, you need to make sure you are friends in-game, not just on the platform.”

    Apex is now in its 20th season, you’ve had plenty of time to work this out! We shouldn’t have to defriend friends just to MAYBE fix the problem. This is an issue, not an ish-me. Get it sorted.
