Re: Apple gift card : How do I redeem if a digit is scratched off


Apple support's online article:

What to do: If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card - Apple Support

says:

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

Also:

You might need to provide:

  • An image of the full front and back of your card.
  • A sales receipt showing when your card was purchased.
  • The serial number from your card. 


(NB: see at the bottom the above article: "Find your serial number" and illustrations.

The serial number is not the same thing as the code that begins with "X" that you use to redeem the card.

Hello and welcome to the thread.

You will need to contact Apple Support.


They may or may not be able to resolve this, or they might direct you to the store where the card was purchased.
