For the US Monster Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 promotion, buy participating MW4 co-branded Monster Energy, Zero Sugar, or Zero Ultra cans with a code under the tab. You must be 18 or older, a legal resident of the 50 United States, Washington, DC, or Puerto Rico, and physically within that territory. A regular unmarked can or a code from an earlier Call of Duty promotion does not establish eligibility.
Claiming is a two-stage process: submit the Tab Code to Monster, then redeem the DLC/2XP code it issues with Activision. Use the Activision account linked to the platform where you play. These US instructions do not apply automatically to Canada or other countries.
Check the can and your eligibility before buying
The US promotion terms cover participating single cans and multipacks of MW4 co-branded Monster Energy, Monster Energy Zero Sugar, and Monster Energy Zero Ultra bought from retailers within the promotional territory. Each qualifying individual can has its own Tab Code. Check the actual promotional packaging rather than assuming every flavor or multipack qualifies.
You need a Monster promotion account and an Activision account. Monster registration can require SMS authentication. To use the rewards, you also need the game, an internet connection, the relevant platform account, and any applicable platform subscription. This promotion awards digital extras; it does not supply a Modern Warfare 4 game license.
Look for the MW4 promotional panel on the packaging, as shown above; the color of the can alone is not the qualifying mark.
Canada has a separate Monster gaming promotion and registration route. If you live outside the US promotional territory, start with your local terms and packaging. Similar-looking rewards do not make the US eligibility rules, deadlines, or retailer offers transferable to your country.
Redeem the tab, then redeem the Activision code
- Open the Monster Call of Duty promotion site and sign in or register. Complete any required account authentication.
- Open Redeem, select the retailer where you purchased the participating product, enter its Tab Code, and choose Submit Code. Read the code carefully: the US terms allow three attempts to enter Tab Codes correctly within your account. They do not specify when that allowance resets.
- Collect the DLC/2XP code Monster provides after your Tab Code is accepted. Your Monster Rewards page tracks the content associated with your redemptions.
- Sign in to the correct Activision account and confirm that it is linked to the platform account you use for MW4. Then enter the issued code at Call of Duty redemption.
- Restart MW4 if it was running when you redeemed the Activision code, then check your inventory.
Entering the tab on Monster is not the final game redemption. If no second code arrives, resolve that stage with Monster before treating the item as missing from the game. A code attaches to the first Activision account that redeems it; the US terms say it cannot be transferred to another account and a replacement will not be issued for choosing the wrong account.
The first five US cosmetic rewards
Rewards unlock in a fixed order, rather than letting you choose the next skin or blueprint. The Activision promotion FAQ names the first five items below; the US terms assign the same cosmetic types to qualifying cans one through five. Each of those cans also earns a code for a 15-minute 2XP Token, subject to the redemption limits.
| Qualifying can milestone | Cosmetic reward | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tagged | Large Decal |
| 2 | Green Light | Kilo Weapon Blueprint |
| 3 | OG Green | Coffey Operator Skin |
| 4 | Canned | Limax Weapon Blueprint |
| 5 | Zero Chill | Coffey Operator Skin variant |
The US terms list cans 6–160 as 2XP Tokens, with a mystery item attached to an additional 161st qualifying can only after an undisclosed DLC drop date. Activision's FAQ separately lists a sixth, unrevealed digital-content entry. That entry is not enough to promise a mystery cosmetic from your sixth can. Check the current US reward account and rules before buying more specifically for an unrevealed item.
Rewards are available in MW4 from launch. Activision says the digital content becomes usable in Warzone from Season 1 on the same linked account; a successful MW4 redemption does not establish immediate Warzone availability.
US limits and dates to keep separate
The US promotion runs from September 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, using US Pacific Time and Monster's clock. There are two separate deadlines:
| Action or limit | US rule |
|---|---|
| Create the Monster promotion account and submit qualifying Tab Codes | By March 31, 2027 |
| Redeem the issued DLC codes with Activision | By April 30, 2027 |
| Obtain 2XP DLC codes | One per day, regardless of qualifying purchases |
| Apply 2XP in-game | Maximum one hour per day |
| Total 2XP cap | 40 hours across the covered Call of Duty promotions, not an extra 40 hours for each offer |
Buying several cans together does not remove the daily code limit. Codes are single-use, and codes sold, traded, shared, or obtained outside the authorized methods are invalid under the US terms. Previous Call of Duty promotion codes cannot be substituted for this 2026–2027 promotion.
Activision distinguishes redeeming a code from using its banked token: the FAQ says you do not need to use your 2XP Tokens before the promotion ends or by the final redemption date. Submit the codes before their deadlines rather than confusing that statement with permission to redeem an expired code later.
The US terms also list a one-time bonus 2XP Token for a valid Tab Code uploaded October 23–25, 2026, subject to the normal restrictions. The earlier Black Ops 7 sticker/emblem registration bonus ended October 22, 2026; it should not be treated as a current new-registration reward.
Retailer offers can use a different claim route
Retailer-exclusive purchases may have different quantities, dates, validation, and code delivery. The ordinary under-tab instructions do not replace those offer-specific requirements.
For example, Activision lists a Yesway/Allsup's Weapon Charm offer from September 2 through November 3, 2026. It requires any three eligible 16/15.5 fl. oz. Monster Energy cans in a single in-store transaction at a participating location and a Yesway & Allsup's Rewards account. After purchase validation, the code is emailed to that Rewards account's address; it is then redeemed with Activision by April 30, 2027.
Check that retailer's current rules before paying. Other entries in the support FAQ still say details are coming soon, so a retailer name or advertised reward type alone does not establish its complete purchase conditions.
Match the problem to the right support team
| Where the process failed | What to check | Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Tab Code rejected on Monster | Correct promotion, exact characters, unused code and daily limit | Monster support |
| Monster accepts the tab but supplies no second code | Monster account and Rewards page | Monster support |
| DLC/2XP code rejected on Call of Duty redemption | Correct Activision account and current promotion code | Activision support |
| Activision redemption succeeds but the item is absent | Restart the game; check the linked platform account and the item's game availability | Activision support |
Avoid repeatedly guessing an unreadable tab within the three-attempt allowance. Ask Monster about the damaged code; the terms make replacement discretionary, so a new code is not guaranteed. For Monster account authentication difficulties, the US terms list 1-888-322-4466 for the authentication service provider.
