How to Top Up PUBG Mobile UC: With Your Character ID or a Voucher
Topping up PUBG Mobile UC only takes your Character ID, the string of numbers on your profile. No password, no login. There are three routes: buy from the in-game store, top up directly with your Character ID on a top up site (including Midasbuy, Tencent’s official recharge store), or buy a UC voucher code and redeem it yourself on the Midasbuy Redeem page. Below: finding your ID, the steps for each route, UC bonus packs, common mistakes and what to do if UC is late.
Before You Top Up: Check Your Character ID and Game Version
How to find your PUBG Mobile Character ID
The official PUBG Mobile Redemption Center and the Midasbuy help center point to the same place:
- Open PUBG Mobile and log in to the account you want to top up.
- In the lobby, tap your avatar in the top left corner.
- On your profile, the Character ID is shown next to your character name. Stores may call it Player ID, User ID or UID; it is the same number.
- Tap the copy icon next to it and paste it into the ID field. Copying is safer than retyping.
Your nickname will not work; only the numeric ID does. For other games, see our guide on finding your user ID before a top up.
Make sure your account is on the global version
The UC sold on Midasbuy and on top up stores is generally for the global version of PUBG Mobile. Two exceptions cause most wrong purchases:
- PUBG Mobile VN in Vietnam is published by VNG and has its own official recharge store.
- PUBG Mobile Lite is a separate game. The official Lite FAQ says each game needs its own account, so PUBG Mobile UC does not work in Lite. Lite uses a currency called BC.
Method 1: Top Up UC Directly With Your Character ID
Here the UC lands automatically in the account that owns the ID, with no code to redeem. The Midasbuy steps from its official help center:
- Open Midasbuy and choose your country or region.
- Select PUBG MOBILE and enter your Player ID.
- Choose a payment method and an item, then complete the payment.
- The UC is sent to your in-game account. Check the amount in the top right corner of the game screen.
At the time of writing, Midasbuy Indonesia lists methods such as QRIS, DANA, ShopeePay, GoPay, credit or debit cards and BRI, while Midasbuy Malaysia lists Touch ‘n Go eWallet, cards, MAE/DuitNow, ShopeePay, FPX and Maybank QR.
Other top up stores work the same way. For example, the PUBG Mobile UC top up page on ItemGame, which also accepts cash at convenience stores:
- Enter your Character ID in the User ID field.
- Choose a UC amount.
- Choose a payment method: QRIS, e-wallets (DANA, OVO, ShopeePay, LinkAja), bank virtual account, or Alfamart and Indomaret.
- Enter the email address for your invoice, then pay. Once the payment is confirmed, the UC is sent automatically, usually within a few minutes.
The third route, the in-game store, charges the Google Play or App Store account on your phone.
Method 2: Buy a UC Voucher and Redeem It on Midasbuy
A voucher suits gifts, or cases where you do not have the target ID yet. With the PUBG Mobile UC voucher, you do not enter any ID at checkout. The code appears on your invoice page and is sent to the email you provide. Its validity period is shown in the code details, so do not sit on it for too long.
How to redeem the code on Midasbuy:
- Open the PUBG MOBILE Redeem page on Midasbuy (the REDEEM tab).
- Sign in to your Midasbuy account, then enter your Player ID.
- Enter the redemption code and confirm.
- Go back to the game and check that the UC has arrived.
Do not confuse this with the Redemption Center on pubgmobile.com, which is for event reward codes: you enter your Character ID, the code and a verification code, and the reward goes to your in-game mail.
| Top up with Character ID | UC voucher | |
|---|---|---|
| What you enter at checkout | Character ID | No ID needed |
| What you get | UC straight into the account | A code to redeem |
| Extra step | None | Redeem on Midasbuy |
| Best for | Topping up your own account | Gifts, or when you do not have the ID yet |
UC Packs and Their Bonuses
The base UC packs are the same on Midasbuy and for UC vouchers: the bigger the pack, the higher the bonus percentage.
| Pack | Bonus | Total UC | Bonus on base UC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 UC | 0 | 60 | 0% |
| 300 + 25 | 25 | 325 | 8% |
| 600 + 60 | 60 | 660 | 10% |
| 1500 + 300 | 300 | 1800 | 20% |
| 3000 + 850 | 850 | 3850 | 28% |
| 6000 + 2100 | 2100 | 8100 | 35% |
Midasbuy also sells 30 UC and packs above 6000 UC, and direct top up pages add combined amounts such as 120, 180 or 360 + 25 UC. Note that 360 + 25 still carries only a 25 UC bonus, like 300 + 25, so one large pack beats several small packs with the same base UC. Example: 1500 + 300 gives 1800 UC, while five 300 + 25 packs give only 1625 UC.
Before choosing an amount, check the in-game price of the Royale Pass, crate or item you want.
Common Mistakes When Topping Up UC
- Wrong ID. UC goes to the ID you entered and cannot be pulled back. Compare the numbers once more before paying.
- Using your nickname. The ID field only accepts numbers.
- Wrong game version. PUBG Mobile VN and PUBG Mobile Lite accounts do not use global UC.
- Redeeming a voucher in the wrong place, or letting it expire.
- Panicking when the UC is not visible yet. The Midasbuy help center says to wait a few minutes if there are network issues. Restart the game and check the balance at the top right. If a Midasbuy purchase is still missing after 24 hours, contact Midasbuy support with your Player ID, country, item, payment channel and purchase time. For other stores, contact their support with your invoice number.
Staying Safe When Buying UC
- Never share your password or OTP. The PUBG Mobile End User License Agreement (EULA) forbids sharing your password and selling or lending your account.
- Avoid cheap UC offers that ask for your login. The same EULA says the publisher may cancel or revoke game currency if it suspects unauthorized or fraudulent activity.
- UC cannot be moved between accounts. Under the EULA, game currency is non-transferable and non-tradable, so ignore anyone offering to “send UC from another account”.
- Keep your invoice and code. For codes bought from a third party, the EULA says that seller handles any issues with the code.
FAQ
Do I need my password to top up PUBG Mobile UC? No. A direct top up only needs your Character ID, and a voucher is redeemed by you on Midasbuy with your Player ID.
How long does UC take to arrive? On Midasbuy, UC is sent once the payment is complete. On top up stores, usually a few minutes after the payment is confirmed. If you cannot see it, restart the game and check the balance at the top right of the lobby.
Can I transfer UC to a friend’s account? No. Credited UC cannot be transferred. To give UC, buy a voucher or top up your friend’s Character ID directly.
Does PUBG Mobile UC work in PUBG Mobile Lite? No. Lite is a separate game with its own account and currency (BC). See how PUBG Mobile, Lite and Flash differ in PUBG Mobile Flash, the new name for PUBG Mobile Light.
