Receipt states could take up to 24 hours for card to get activated , went to apple store in Newcastle city centre and they checked card and there was no balance on card but card hasn't been redeemed by anyone ?

Will i be able to get full refund if card is not redeemable from store that i bought card from ?

Sounds like you’re the victim of a scam.

The merchant is responsible for selling a legitimate product and for security of the products they sell.


Report the scam to the store manager, local police and FTC.

My brother got me Apple Card of £125 today around 12:03 afternoon at tesco shop and the card is bad Do I have to wait until after 24hours before I can use the card

Review the information provided here. There is no error message that says your card is bad, but there are several that you may see and the actions you should take.

Contacted apple.com to ask them how long it takes for card to be activated and they checked card on their system and informed me the card was activated immediately - then when i sent code to my nephew someone intercepted the code and redeemed it into their own account

Meaning i lost £50 and my nephew is furious i didn't him nothing for his 18th birthday ?

My Apple gift card 100£ is not yet activated

Gift Cards are activated at the retail location where it was purchased. Take it back along with the receipts to have them resolve the problem. Usually you will also have an Activation Number on the receipt when it was correctly Activated.
