Errors Associated With Amazon Gift Cards & How To Fix Them
Amazon is an American Multinational Tech Company that operates as a retail store and sells almost every type of product man can think of. For example; Items for Home decor, gaming, beauty, tech, travel, activewear, etc.
Their gift cards are digital assets that provide an additional avenue to purchase all sorts of items at Amazon. Both online and at the physical store.
Amazon Gift cards are flexible. Once the owner no longer needs the digital asset, It can be resold for cash. Although there are tons of platforms where you can sell your Amazon gift card for cash, the best platform is still Cardtonic.
On Cardtonic, you are offered the best gift card rates and your transactions are processed swiftly. However, there are times when your trade comes back as failed. Then you see a certain error message and you are confused. I would be elaborating on those error messages and what you can do to fix them.
Three Common Amazon Gift Card Error Messages
1. Claim Code Locked:
Mostly, the “Claim Code Locked” error message occurs when you are not the one that purchased the gift card directly. If this is the case, you simply have to Inform the person that purchased the gift card to contact Amazon support with the details of the gift card. Such as;
- Claim Code (14-15 Digit letters and Numbers)
- Serial Number (16 Digit set of numbers)
- Receipt.
If you purchased the gift card yourself, you can simply get in contact with Amazon support with the above-mentioned information.
2. Invalid Code:
The “Invalid Code” error appears when you have typed an incorrect code. However, on some rare occasions, the code is correct and it still gives an invalid response. After you have confirmed that you didn’t type the wrong code, contact Amazon support with the details of the gift card and the receipt for a resolution.
3. Cannot Be Loaded/Redeemed in this Region:
If your gift card “Cannot Be Loaded/Redeemed in This Region”, it means you have to redeem it in the correct location. Amazon provides gift cards in different currencies for different countries. If you try to redeem a US Amazon gift card on a Canadian account, you would get this error. However, on some rare occasions, the country is correct and it still gives this response. Contact Amazon support with the details of the gift card and the receipt for a resolution.
Although these messages may be frustrating, it is nice to know that it’s not final and that there are solutions to fix them.
