As someone who does handles a lot of gift cards, it's not hard at all to cover the code back up. They sell little peel and stick things online, or it's not hard to make your own. There are people that go around to stores, take unactivated giftcards, scratch off the sticker to get the code, and will then reapply another one and put it back in the store to be bought and activated by someone, meanwhile they are periodically checking whatever website you can see the balance on to see if it's been activated yet so they can use it or sell it out from under you. So my guess would be Amazon doesn't take returns on giftcards in the first place. |

Look at the hundreds of people online who bought Battlefield 2042 from Amazon. They ship a CD case with a slip of paper inside which has a code.
Hundreds of people tried to redeem codes that had already been used.
This happens to every code-consumption-based retailer. Thankfully Amazon still eats the cost of "doing business" currently.
