I had bought a $100 itunes card sometimes in the last 6-7months (it was 15-20% off)
I tried to activate it today only to find that i had probably not got that 'activated' from the store.
What can i do now ?
I don't have the receipt anymore.
I have another 2x$30 that i had bought in the last 2-3 months i am afraid to scratch them off, just incase i had forgotten to activate them as well !!!
No chance I reckon.
Even if you can prove you bought a card at some point in the past, how can you prove that it was that card ie that you haven't already activated the card listed in your transactions.
The card number would be recorded presumably? Not sure but worth a shot
What does the error notice say when you try to add the card to your iTunes account?
The cards are automatically activated when you purchase them. I don’t understand what you mean by "forgotten to activate", did you forget to pay for them?
Having worked on a register myself, I have seen cards fail to activate properly. This has happened after the customer has walked away with the card. Hopefully this helps you to understand how sometimes a card hasn't activated.
I don't think it has worked like this for a long time. The last 20 cards I have bought, activation is part of the payment process - it can't print a receipt until it activates.
I’d email the company. You never know they might add it onto your account anyway. I always upload them as soon as I get them so I don’t forgot or loose it.
Did you do a self checkout? That gets folks all the time.
Did you pay card? If you can find the transaction through your bank and the retailer is able to lookup your receipt by card, you might have a chance. Otherwise not going to happen
