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.
