App promo code not working: fixes
Updated November 14, 2026
A promo code usually fails for one of four reasons: the batch is used up, the promotion has ended, the code is for the other store, or it was typed wrong. Check those in order, then ask the developer.

- Code rejected as used: one-time codes work once. Pick another app or claim a new code.
- App shows "Sold out" on GetFree: the developer's batch is gone. Check back later.
- Store says the code is not valid: it may be for the other store or a different account region. Redeem it where the app is sold.
- Code worked last week: the promotion may have ended. Ask the developer.
One-time codes
Google's developer help says one-time use codes are unique and can be redeemed once. They work until the promotion end date the developer sets, and a promotion can last up to a year.
Typos
Copy and paste the code. Google's help says custom codes are not case-sensitive, but paste one-time codes exactly as given.
What GetFree says
Its Terms say it does not guarantee that a code will work or stay available, and that claimed codes are for personal use and may not be sold or transferred. If a claim fails, email support@getfree.app. The contact page says it typically replies within 24 hours.
