Can’t Buy Valorant Points 2023? (FIXED)

Riot Games has a reputation for including a bunch of in game items. If League of Legends, their golden child MOBA has Riot Points that can be used to purchase items, then Valorant, their FPS game, has Valorant Points. However, players have often come across various problems that stop them from buying Valorant Points.

If you aren’t able to buy Valorant Points, then there are a couple of things you can do, such as restart the Riot client, and check the server status to ensure there isn’t ongoing server maintenance or reported overload. The problem might also be related to your payment method.

We’ll be going through the various potential fixes to this issue of yours to ensure by the end of the day you’ll have all the Valorant Points you need.

Method #1: Restart the Riot Client

This might be the most obvious one, but it’s also the most common one. Oftentimes when players try to purchase Valorant Points, they do so after having their PC on for some time all the while running the Riot Client in the background.

Because of this, if an update comes out during that time, then there’s no way for the client to install it, as it’s important to restart it first. Therefore, attempting to purchase Valorant Points from an outdated client version can lead to the purchasing page timing out, but simply restarting the client s and installing the new update should fix the issue in no time.

Method #2: Check the Server Status

The reason you aren’t able to purchase Valorant Points might be because either the servers are under maintenance because of which certain features are limited/unavailable, or the servers have been overloaded (this usually happens when a big update drops which include new episodes, new acts, and new agents).

If you’re getting an error saying “There was an error opening the VALORANT Points purchase page. If this persists, please contact Player Support”, then chances are there’s a problem with the server

If this is the case with you, then unfortunately the only thing you can do is to wait it out. You could go to the official Riot Games server status website to see if there have been any reported server issues.

Method #3: Ensure Your Payment Method Isn’t the Problem

There are a couple of things related to your payment method that could also stop you from being able to purchase Valorant Points. The most common one is that players forget to check if international transactions are enabled on their debit or credit cards. This can usually be fixed pretty easily simply by contacting the customer support of your bank and asking them to enable the feature.

If international transactions aren’t a problem, then the reason you aren’t able to purchase Valorant Points might be because you either don’t have enough balance in the card you’re using, or there’s a cap set on the card you’re using that’s stopping you from crossing a specific amount when purchasing anything.

At the end of the day, however, payment method related problems are usually solved by contacting your bank.

Method #4: Buy Prepaid Cards

If you tried all the methods listed above but still weren’t able to fix your Valorant Points buying problem, then the only solution left is to buy prepaid cards. Fortunately, prepaid Valorant Point cards are rather common and should be found online pretty easily.

There are four different types of prepaid Valorant cards that can be found in the market. All of them are priced differently but the price of the card you buy determines how many Valorant Points will be added to your account.

• The $10 prepaid cards add around 1000 Valorant Points to your account
• The $25 prepaid cards add around 2500 Valorant Points to your account
• The $50 prepaid cards add around 5000 Valorant Points to your account
• The $100 prepaid cards add around 10000 Valorant Points to your account

When you’re done buying a prepaid card all you have to do to redeem it to your account is:

1. Log in to Riot Game Client with your game account. Ensure that the account you’re logged in to is the one you want to add Valorant Points to and not a smurf.
2. Click on the “Store” button. 
3. Click on the “Purchase RP”. 
4. Select the “Prepaid Cards” option and enter the digital code at the back of your prepaid card.
5. Finally, click on submit and the Valorant Points should have been added to your account.
