Can I still redeem a scratched Apple Gift Card?

If I buy a new gift card and i scratch too hard on the code, is it still possible for me to receive my money or granted a new card?

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! 👋🏼😉
