Methods to Buy Discord Nitro Without a Credit Card
To subscribe to Discord Nitro or make any kind of purchase on Discord, all you need is a valid payment method. Discord currently accepts PayPal, Google Play Gift Cards, Google Pay, or a valid credit/debit card. So you’ve got three other payment options if you don’t have a credit card.
Here are the methods to buy Discord Nitro without using credit cards:
1. Use Google Play Gift Card
Using the Google Play gift card is one of the best and most straightforward ways to buy a Discord Nitro plan, especially if you’re using Discord on your phone.
With this method, you can buy and redeem a Google Play gift card on your Google Play account to get a Discord Nitro pack without using credit cards. So the first step is to buy a Google Play gift card from any digital service-selling shop or website.
Then, you need to redeem the Google Play gift card on your Google Play account to get enough credits to buy a Discord Nitro package. To buy Discord Nitro with Google Play, follow the steps below:
- Open the Play Store app on your Android device.
- Go to the menu by clicking on your profile picture.
- Select Payments & subscriptions.
- Choose Redeem code.
- Paste the gift card code in the input field.
- Tap on Redeem.
You will receive credits on your Google Play account after successfully redeeming the gift card. Now, use it to pay for a Nitro pack. Here’s how:
- Launch the Discord app.
- Click on the hamburger icon from the top left corner of the screen.
- Tap on your profile picture located at the bottom right corner of the app.
- Select Get Nitro and choose your preferred subscription plan & timeline(monthly/yearly).
- Hit Purchase.
The credits on your Google Play account will be used to purchase the Nitro subscription plan. You can also use a physical Google Play gift card to redeem and purchase a Discord Nitro pack.
In that case, first, scratch the code section of the physical card. Now go to your phone’s Play Store and click on your Google Play profile picture > Payments & subscriptions > Redeem code > Scan gift card. Then scan the code on the physical card and tap Confirm.

Another effective method is to use the G Pay service to buy a Discord Nitro plan. First of all, you need to set up a new G Pay account if you are a new user. You need to add a credit or debit account to your G Pay account to use G Pay.
You may also ask your friends to transfer some credits to your G Pay account if you face issues loading credits on your G Pay account. Despite that, If you are already using the G Pay service, you just need some credits on your account, and you are ready to go.
Now, time to integrate your G Pay account with your Google Play. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Open Google Play apps on your Android device.
- Open the Google Play menu by clicking on your profile picture.
- Select Payments & subscriptions.
- Choose Payment methods.

After adding the G Pay account, you are ready to purchase the Discord Nitro package. In case you’re having some issues with the payment methods, here’s how to fix unable to confirm payment method on Discord Nitro.
3. With a Debit Card
Do you have a valid/global debit card?

That’s about it. Make sure you have enough amount on your debit card to complete the payment process. FYI, check out the embedded article if the billing address shows invalid for Discord Nitro.
4. Via Paypal
Using a valid PayPal account is another easy way to purchase Discord Nitro. Unfortunately, you can use PayPal to purchase Nitro on Discord mobile, but it works wonders on the PC app or Discord web.
Follow the steps to buy Discord Nitro using PayPal if you don’t have a credit card:
- Launch the Discord app and go to Users Settings.
- Click on Nitro from the Billing Settings section and hit Subscribe.
