Hi All,
Just a warning for anyone buying an Itunes gift cards over the festive period (and any other gift card I guess).
Make sure they are activated in the shop and you keep the shop receipt for them.
Now the sad story of why:-
My daughter was given an ipod touch and 2 gift cards worth £40 for her birthday at the weekend. Both were bought from high street stores, but were apparently not activated at the till.
I contacted Apple but they refuse to help unless we provide them with a scanned receipt showing the purchase and the gift cards. As they were gifts, we obviously do not have the receipts. Net result £40 unusable credit.
I don't know how this can actually happen that a store does not activate them, but I have a very disappointed 8 year old who was hoping to get some new games and the new Olly Murs album.
So my advice is just be careful!
