iTunes Gift Cards not working Christmas morning?

[RAMDoubler]

Got a couple iTunes giftcards that say they were never authorized - guessing the authentication server is down...anyone else?

Mine worked, entered a code less than 30 min ago. This is the US Store.

 

[RAMDoubler]

US store, sorry

Cool, I'll try again and see if it works...

i,ve tried 2 cards this morning in the uk store and they aren,t working

Same thing 3 cards from 3 different people none of them worked. Probably because the iTunes store is overloaded today.

Worked in the uk store fine this morning.

 

[Cynicalone]

Whatever the problem was earlier my cards worked fine this evening.

 

[RAMDoubler]

figured it out - thanks all

looks like we tracked the problem to a 3 pack of iTunes giftcards from Target - none are working, so I think Target screwed up the activation. Guess my purchase of "Idiocracy" is going to have to wait until tomorrow

I got three GC and they all worked.

Christmas iTunes Gift Cards from Target

I also purchased a 3 pack of iTunes Gift Cards from Target. I still cannot get them to work and Apple will not help without proof of purchase which was tossed. Target won't help without a UPC number that was on the outer packaging. Does anyone have the UPC number or any ideas on how I can recoup my $30!
