Apple gift cards purchased but already redeemed

I just purchased a 50.00 gift card from CVS, got a msg. Saying it’s already been redeemed. I’ve had this happen before when I purchased a 25.00 Apple gift card. It does no good to call Apple support, they ALWAYS tell you to take it back to the retailer, the retailer tells you to contact Apple. I’ve got the receipt, both the retailer refuse to make it right. This has been happening for years, how does Apple allow this? People are getting blatantly ripped off. My local CVS PULLED ALL Apple gift cards because of so many issues, Albertson’s actually opens them and checks that the numbers match..guess that’s the safest way. I think Apple’s to blame they need to come up with a system to sop letting customers get ripped off.. I sit here with my Apple iPad my iPhone and they won’t honor the gift card..

Add a payment method to your account. See this link about payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID --> Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support then see this link about how to add a payment method to your Apple ID --> Add a payment method to your Apple ID - Apple Support

- Add money to your Apple ID balance - "Use a payment method, such as a credit or debit card, to add funds to your Apple ID balance." This takes the previous payment method one step farther by optionally using it to irreversibly add funds to an Apple ID account balance instead of having the card charged each time.

I'll let you peruse the Internet about this. The bottom line is I always redeem cards the instant I buy them. I don't even leave the cash register. I do it on the spot after paying. You should also check the cards for tampering.
