Thank you for reaching out. 🤗

According to Apple:

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

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.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

Going forward …

Exactly why gift cards should be redeemed as quickly as possible onto your account. (For safekeeping)

Until the card is redeemed, any remaining value is subject to being entirely lost by: Physical loss of the card, damage to the card, or compromise of the card’s code.
