Hello and welcome to the thread.

Nobody here represents Apple, or whoever sold these cards, or can assist with a gift card issue.

In short, contact Apple Support directly.

Apple may send you back to the store, as well.

Apple support told me I had to take the unreadable gift card back to Walgreens. Who refuses refunds or exchanges of gift cards. No more Apple gift cards for me, I will neither purchase as gifts or request as a gift.

Apple's gift card policy, like all major retailers, is the same:

Gift Cards are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund (except as required by law), exchanged, resold or used to purchase Gift Cards.

Regardless, Apple simply cannot process a refund because you didn't buy it from them.

According to Apple (If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card - Apple Support):

If you can't read the code on the back of your card because it's scratched or damaged, contact Apple Support.

The included link gives some instructions on contacting Apple Support for a gift card issue.

Apple doesn't have a support channel via WhatsApp. Use this link to contact Apple Support instead.
