Today, I bought an iTunes giftcard worth $50. I tried to scratch off the little silver thing covering the code with a pair of scissors. I scratched so much that it's now unreadable. FML

Today, I bought a $50 Nintendo eShop card to redeem on my Nintendo Switch. As I was scratching the grey area, I scratched too hard, making it hard to see what it was. I tried randomly guessing and asking for help. Neither helped. Guess who didn't get $50 back. FML

Today, I received a $50 iTunes card for my birthday. I immediately sat down at my computer and starting buying all my newest favorites. Then I realized I never redeemed my card so the $50 was all charged to my account. FML

Today, I saw some random iTunes charge on my bank account so I called who I thought was iTunes customer support to figure out the $5 charge, then got scammed into buying $1,400 worth of gift cards. The man on the phone was not with iTunes and took all my money. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I asked everyone for iTunes money, pleased to finally be able to buy some new songs for my iPod. After receiving several gift cards, I discovered that my iPod had been stolen. FML

Today, I found out the gift card my friend gave me for Christmas actually has no money on it and was never purchased in the first place. FML

Today I bought a $50 voucher card to refill my phone. After I purchased it, I threw the receipt in the dustbin. When I got home, I found out that the 14-digit pin code was on the receipt. I basically threw 57 bucks in the dustbin. FML

Today, I found out that my boyfriend wrote 50 dollars on my gift card just to look generous, it's really only worth five. I found this out after I tried to buy an arm full of clothes. FML

Today, I scratched my car with a bottle of scratch remover deeply enough that the scratch remover couldn't remove it. FML

Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. FML

Today, behind a cabinet, I found a scratch-off lottery ticket I hadn't scratched yet. After scratching it off, I realized it's a $2,500 winner. The lottery commission won't accept it because they stopped using that game 2 years ago. FML

If you enter an incorrect code enough times it gives you the option to "get help" which lets you type in the serial number.

I've done that! But it wasn't worth $50. More like $15. But still, man, that sucks!

YDI for getting an iTunes Gift Card. Buy some Microsoft Points and use the Zune Store. Hell, go download Vuze and torrent the stuff. Anything's better than putting your money in Steve Jobs' greedy hands.

Absolutely agree with ya. Microsoft did a statistic that a 160GB iPod costs over 20,000 dollars to fill up with iTunes. Using anything else to get songs on your mp3 player is better then THAT -_-

why use scissors? coin or fingernail gets the job done and does not make the code unreadable.

Laziness? I did the same thing once because there were no coins in my room and my fingernails are too short. But all you have to do is email iTunes and they email you a new code.
