Re: Gifting not working

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 @Aqua_Gradient,

    did you read through the rules and requirements, and do both of you fulfil them? The gifting system is not region locked. What platforms are you and your friend playing on? Is it just happening with one friend?

    Hello @centurian17,

  • the problem is not on his end. i can't even gift; when i try it brings up the requirements to be allowed to gift, witch i have completed multiple times and, im guessing, it either hasn't updated or is bugged for me

  • @EA_Pythia my bf can gift to me, but when i try to gift him i can’t find his account. we’re ea friends and have everything that’s required completed

    Hello everyone,

    are you friends with the people you are trying to gift to on any platforms before you were friends in Apex? If so, I suggest unfriending on Apex and on the platform, then going into Apex, befriending them there first and then re-befriending them on the platform. You will have to wait to see if this worked, as you have to be friends in Apex for 2 weeks as per the requirements, but this has worked for some people in previous cases.

    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.

  • @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
  • hey ive done all of the requirements to send gifts but it still says login verification needed how can i fix this @EA_Pythia
