Galaxy of Heroes Apple Gift Card Promo Returns – Free Crystals & Rey/Kylo Shards (April

Good news for anyone who’s ever thought, “I should buy a gift card and get rewarded with a fully loaded Rey.” The Apple Gift Card promo for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is back for April and May 2025, and it’s raining Kylo and Rey shards like it’s a galactic meteor shower.

This limited-time promo lets you score in-game bonuses just by purchasing Apple Gift Cards from participating retailers — no lightsaber training required. And if you’re not in one of the eligible countries? Don’t worry. There’s a separate giveaway for Holotable Heroes across the galaxy.

Let’s break down how it works, where to shop, and what you’re getting in your Star Wars loot bag.

How the Galaxy of Heroes Apple Gift Card Promo Works

In partnership with Apple, EA is offering Galaxy of Heroes players a free bonus bundle when they purchase Apple Gift Cards from participating retailers. The promotion runs from April 22 to May 27, 2025, and includes retailers in the U.S., Canada, and the UK — if you know where to look.

Here’s the basic flow:

Buy an eligible Apple Gift Card at a participating store.
Redeem the card through your Apple ID.
Receive in-game Galaxy of Heroes rewards like crystals and shards of Rey (Scavenger) and Kylo Ren (Unmasked).

It’s like buying a cup of caf and finding out the cup also comes with a lightsaber.

What Are These Characters Worth?

You might be wondering: “Do I really need more shards of Rey (Scavenger) and Kylo Ren (Unmasked)?”

The answer: Probably yes.

Rey (Scavenger) is a strong early-game character and great in Resistance squads.
Kylo Ren (Unmasked) is a tanky beast and a key piece of many First Order teams.
Together, they’re an ideal duo for newcomers, and a shard refresh for veterans looking to clean up their galactic rosters.

Not to mention, crystals are always good. Whether you’re refreshing energy, buying gear, or hoarding for that next marquee event — more crystals = more options.

Final Thoughts: Buy a Gift Card, Get a Galactic Upgrade

The Apple Gift Card promo for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is the kind of win-win that doesn’t come around often. You get to spend money you were probably going to spend anyway — and in return, you unlock free shards and crystals that might just turn the tide of your next Arena match.

And if you’re outside the promo countries? That crystal giveaway might just drop a whole upgrade into your lap for the low cost of entering a form. Either way, this is the kind of galactic credit transaction that doesn’t involve a shady deal in a Mos Eisley cantina.

Just make sure you redeem by May 27, 2025, and keep an eye out for updates on the UK retailer issue.
