Don’t take back to retailers. They can’t help you, because Apple is a third party. I bought 6 cards which weren’t properly activated. Went to retailer. Even came to this site and no help.I do have alternative for you. You call Apple Support. It has a menu, say “gift cards” and you will be routed according. I got case # first time I called. They were so pleasant. Each person I encountered with was a 10.

honestly . They sent me a link to send front and back of cards and a full receipt showing all corners. Easy. After receiving and viewing, they will call you back. I waited 2 days and the I called them back . With my case #, I got kind of transferred to different dept. but finally ended up in right department. I talked to a advisor supervisor. It took 2 1/2 hours, so be patient and kind. It goes a long way. We got 5 out of six taken care of. I only had one card that had 14 digits. He said that would take a little longer to investigate. This Monday (tomorrow between 9-12. He will be calling me to wrap up. Praise God!!! So if this can help you and others. Will make me so happy. Good luck

16-digit code, see -> How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card

How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card - Apple Support

⤵️

  1. Find the 16-digit code on the back of the card. For some gift cards, you might need to peel or gently scratch off the label to see the code.


Are you sure you purchased Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card?

Go back to Target and get your money back.
