apple gift card scam

I recently purchased a $500 apple gift from CVS. and once I tried to use it, it was wiped out.

I went back to CVS with my receipt, and they told me once they sell the gift card it become responsibility to correct the issue. I call apple and they said, I would have to take a $500 loss. and did nothing to help me to recover my funds.

Can a gift card be refunded by Apple? I was recently scammed into purchasing three $200 Apple gift cards. I now have $600 in gift cards with no use for them. My wife and I both have IPhones, IPads, and a Mac computer with no plans to upgrade any time soon. I have not activated the cards yet and did not forward information as requested as I discovered the scam in time. Is there anyway to return to Apple for a refund?Duane M [Edited by Moderator]

Apple gift cards purchased but already redeemed I just purchased a 50.00 gift card from CVS, got a msg. Saying it’s already been redeemed. I’ve had this happen before when I purchased a 25.00 Apple gift card. It does no good to call Apple support, they ALWAYS tell you to take it back to the retailer, the retailer tells you to contact Apple. I’ve got the receipt, both the retailer refuse to make it right. This has been happening for years, how does Apple allow this? People are getting blatantly ripped off. My local CVS PULLED ALL Apple gift cards because of so many issues, Albertson’s actually opens them and checks that the numbers match..guess that’s the safest way. I think Apple’s to blame they need to come up with a system to sop letting customers get ripped off.. I sit here with my Apple iPad my iPhone and they won’t honor the gift card..
