How to Buy COD Points Safely in the US and Worldwide (2026 Guide)
You want some COD Points, but where is the safest place to buy them? There are lots of sites, sellers and "special deals" online, and some of them are scams. This guide shows you how to buy COD Points safely in the US and in most other countries: the official options, how gift cards fit in, how parents can control spending, and the scams to avoid. I will keep it simple.
Quick answer
- CP means COD Points, the premium currency in COD Mobile.
- Safest option 1: the in-game Store. Tap the CP icon. You pay with your Google Play or Apple account.
- Safest option 2: the official CODM Web Store at store.callofdutymobile.com. Payment methods depend on your region.
- Gift cards: add a Google Play or Apple gift card to your own account, then buy in the Store.
- Never: pay a stranger, share your password, or use a free CP generator.
- Check the price first: use our In-Game Currency Converter.

Method 1: the in-game Store
- Open Call of Duty: Mobile and go to the Store.
- Tap the CP icon.
- Pick a CP pack.
- Confirm with your Google Play or Apple payment method.
It is the simplest way, and CP goes straight to your account. Your payment options come from your Google Play or Apple account, so you can use a card, a stored balance or a gift card, depending on what that account supports.
Method 2: the official CODM Web Store
Activision's announcements link to the CODM Web Store at store.callofdutymobile.com. The store says it is operated by Coda Payments, an authorized reseller. Payment methods vary by region, and may include options like Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal or cards, so check the checkout page.
- The Web Store often has offers that are not in the in-game Store. This season there is a Day of the Dead COD Points bundle and a free daily gift.
- Check your Player ID or login carefully before you pay.
- Read the notes on each pack, especially Battle Pass packs.
- Save your receipt in case you need support.
Method 3: gift cards (Google Play and Apple)
A gift card is not a CP card. You add it to your own Google Play or Apple account as balance, then use that balance for in-app purchases in the Store. This is handy if you do not want to enter a card.
- Buy from trusted retailers only. Use well-known stores, not random websites or strangers.
- Redeem it on your own account. Gift cards are tied to a country, so use the one for your account's country.
- Never send the code. Anyone who asks you to read out or send a gift card code is a scammer.
Stay in your own region. Use the store for your own country. Tricks like fake locations or accounts from other countries can cause payment problems and break app store rules.
For parents: how to control CP spending
Kids can spend money fast in games. These steps keep it under control:
- Turn on purchase approval. On Apple, use Ask to Buy. On Android, use Google Family Link.
- Require a password or fingerprint for every purchase.
- Set a monthly limit and talk about it with your child.
- Do not save your card on a phone your child uses freely.
- Teach the rules: never share login details, never buy CP from strangers, and never trust "free CP".

How much will CP cost?
Prices change by pack, region and tax, so I will not list numbers that go out of date. For a quick estimate, use our In-Game Currency Converter. It shows CP in USD, CAD, GBP, EUR and NGN. On that page, 1,000 CP is based on a standard store rate of about $9.99 USD, but real prices can differ, and tax may apply. Compare the same pack in the in-game Store and on the Web Store before you pay.
The Halloween Sale runs from October 28 to November 3, 2026, with discounts on seasonal Draws, Lucky Boxes and Crates. That discounts items, not necessarily the price of CP. See our Halloween Sale guide before you spend.
Before you pay, tap each item to check it:
Scams to avoid when buying CP
✗ Scam: "free CP generator" sites, surveys and anyone who wants your login.
✗ Scam: a stranger who asks you to pay with gift cards or to read out a gift card code.
✗ Scam: emails, DMs or ads with a link that claims to be the Store. Type the address yourself.
✗ Risky: third-party sellers who want your password or want you to pay a person.
✓ Safe: the in-game Store and the official CODM Web Store.
Activision's COD Mobile policy warns about illegally acquired content, and CP from unknown sources can put your account at risk. Read our guide on what to do if your COD Mobile account is banned.
What to do if the payment fails or CP does not show
- Check your payment method. Make sure the card is valid, the billing details match, and you have enough balance.
- Try another method. If the in-game Store fails, try the Web Store, or the other way around.
- Restart the game. CP can take a moment to show.
- Check your Player ID. Make sure you used the right account.
- Keep your receipt and contact the support of the store you used. App stores also have their own refund rules.
If the Store is slow or will not load, your phone may be the problem. See our COD Mobile lag fix for Android.
After you buy: spend CP wisely
Set a budget first. The Premium Battle Pass is a popular first buy because it includes extra CP. Learn what CP does in our guide on what CP means in COD Mobile, and new to the words players use? Read our gaming slang explained guide.
