Some Important Notes:

Troubleshooting Gift Card Errors:

What to do:

A card is only redeemable in the country in which it was purchased. So, where did you get this card from?


Where was this Purchased?

A. Online?:

If this was purchased online (i.e. eBay) then contact the site, seeing if the seller can be held accountable and if you can get your money back.


B. In-Person?:

If this as purchased in person, then there may be nothing you can do but contact them, asking for your money back.


Or...


C. A Retailer?:

If purchased at a retailer, take it back, asking what your options are for return. Gift Card return policies vary by rules of law. So, talk to the Manager, asking if you can get a new card.


III. Avoiding Scams:

In all I , recommend getting it at a local retailer - that way you can easily avoid scams. Getting it online might result in scams (and plenty are reported). So, go to a retailer, and then add it to your Apple Account right then-and-there after the transaction goes through at the cash register. It'd be more safe, from what I read on these forums.
