$73 USD Fortnite in-game Product Confusion for New Fortnite Creator Account Holders

Summary

Hi there. We are brand new creators who would like to publish our first games on Fortnite, but we are confused as to how to go about being eligible to publish as soon as possible.

We note that either you get an account if 30 days old and 7 days uefn work, or, “Spent and redeemed USD73 in the last 90 days on Fortnite in-game products. Gift cards and V-bucks do not apply to this spending threshold.”

We are fine to spend the USD73, but we are confused as to what Fortnite in-game products mean? We also were advised by other creators that this has not worked for them. They still had to do a 7 day in UEFN. So can you please advise us with the correct information:

  1. What exactly do we spend USD73 on? (Do we login to our Fortnite account and purchase Vbucks from the shop there, and then that vbucks purchase worth USD73 counts that we made purchase of $73?) Kindly advise. Because it says in the T&C that vbuck spends does not count. So what counts?

  2. If we spend the $73, there are no other T&Cs? We can start publishing maps right away?

Confusion about what is the “Spent and redeemed USD73 in the last 90 days on Fortnite in-game products. Gift cards and V-bucks do not apply to this spending threshold,” actually means, because if you can’t buy vbucks then what exactly tdoes the USD73 spend mean?
