Bought a £50 gift card from Tesco and still not activated yet ?
Receipt states could take up to 24 hours for card to get activated , went to apple store in Newcastle city centre and they checked card and there was no balance on card but card hasn't been redeemed by anyone ?
Will i be able to get full refund if card is not redeemable from store that i bought card from ?
Sounds like you’re the victim of a scam.

The merchant is responsible for selling a legitimate product and for security of the products they sell.
Report the scam to the store manager, local police and FTC.
The merchant you purchased it from should have activated the card in store. Apple cannot activate gift cards. You may need to return to the place of purchase, with your receipt, and have them active your Apple Gift card.
I bought gift card from tesco store , went to apple store to check to see if it was activated properly ?
found out someone else redeemed card not the person the card was intended for - meaning i have lost £50.
Contacted apple.com to ask them how long it takes for card to be activated and they checked card on their system and informed me the card was activated immediately - then when i sent code to my nephew someone intercepted the code and redeemed it into their own account
Meaning i lost £50 and my nephew is furious i didn't him nothing for his 18th birthday ?
Apple provides email gift cards. That is safer than method you chose. Sorry for your nephew. 😢😢
How do you know it was redeemed? Did you use the information in the support article I linked below?
If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card - Apple Support
Where did you purchase the card, an Apple Store? How is Tesco involved? I don’t understand what is going on?
A friend of my bought me a card from taco and they activated it with a wrong code now they say apple is at fault and apple says the fault is from tacos
how long does it take to get gift card activated when bought from tesco ?
