It\u2019s frustrating, especially when the card still holds value and you\u2019re left unsure of what to do next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re in the same situation, you\u2019re not alone. It happens more often than people realize. When it happened to me, I found a way to resolve it, and with the right steps, you might be able to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, I\u2019ll walk you through how to handle a scratched gift card and what to do if the code is unreadable. I\u2019ll also share a few alternative solutions in case the first method doesn\u2019t work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What You Can Do With Your Mistakenly Scratched Gift Card<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3341 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/usenosh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/poorly-scratched-card.jpeg\" alt=\"scratched gift card\" width=\"502\" height=\"359\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.usenosh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/poorly-scratched-card-1024x731.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.usenosh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/poorly-scratched-card-768x548.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.usenosh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/poorly-scratched-card-1536x1096.jpeg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 502px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 502\/359;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next step depends on how much of the code is still visible. If parts of the code are legible, note them down and keep the card safe. If the code is severely damaged or unreadable, further action will be required to retrieve the card\u2019s value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Contact Retailer\u2019s Customer Support<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin by contacting the gift card issuer\u2019s customer support. The contact information is typically printed on the back of the card or available on the issuer\u2019s website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you reach out, you&#8217;ll need to provide key details: the remaining visible digits, the card\u2019s serial number (if available), and especially the purchase receipt. You&#8217;ll also need to send images of the full front and back of the card, including any damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple Support, for example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/thread\/255773206?\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">asks for the receipt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, photos of both sides, and the card\u2019s serial number when a code is damaged. These documents verify your ownership and show that the card was legitimately purchased.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Consider Selling the Gift Card For Cash<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3342 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/usenosh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nosh-app-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Nosh app\" width=\"672\" height=\"376\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.usenosh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nosh-app-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.usenosh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nosh-app-1024x573.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.usenosh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nosh-app-768x430.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.usenosh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nosh-app-1536x860.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.usenosh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nosh-app-2048x1147.jpeg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 672px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 672\/376;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the code on your gift card is still readable, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/usenosh.com\/gift-card-to-naira\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">selling it for cash<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a practical alternative especially if you no longer intend to use the card. Several online platforms allow you to exchange gift cards for cash, offering a quick way to recover value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if a small part of the code is unclear or partially erased, you can still try selling the card by entering your best guess for the missing digit. Some platforms may accept the attempt if the rest of the code is accurate and matches their system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most reliable options in Nigeria and Ghana is the <\/span><b>Nosh App<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
