If the store took your $100 and gave you the card back without activating it, then you will need to resolve the problem with the store. Normally when you purchase a Gift Card you will get a purchase receipt along with the Activation Receipt. You most likely only have the purchase receipt and will need to provide that to the store to resolve the issue.

If it was never activated, you should contact the retailer. When activating a gift card you should have received a receipt showing the activation number. If it was never activated and you did not get a receipt, then the clerk could have easily just taken your money and gave you the card back. Most retailers have cameras over the registers to monitor the actions of their associates.
