Gift Card already redeemed Issue

Hello

I just bought a $50 Apple gift card from Target, I unsealed it, scan the code using my camera, and it says it's already been redeemed. How is that possible?? Support tell me 'your code has no value, it was already redeemed by another account and we cannot tell you by whom". Unbelievable!! It feels like a total scam! And apparently there's nothing to do! Really unbelievable that a company like Apple uses/don't do anything against scam like this...

If I saw this sooner I would’ve stop trying to get my 50 bucks back. As someone who doesn’t work and is a teen it’s a lot of money. I went back to target 3 times already which sucks and called apple multiple times saying that target has to replace them is a joke. I do not blame target because it’s a third party item apple is the one that needs to fix this **** error.

It happened to me and when i contacted the support they say they can’t do anything about it. Scam. Scam. Scam.

That has nothing to do with this discussion. This discussion is the fact that “Apple” gift cards that are sealed and supposedly tamperproof or showing up after purchase as already being redeemed.

If they are able to enter random numbers and combinations then APPLE SHOULD BE SUED FOR LACK OF SECURITY. Imagine wanting to gift a $500 worth of card and it has already been redeemed by someone else

The same thing happened to me yesterday. And I was told the same thing as you. I am out $50 now. This is so unjust. How is the customer protected?
