CODE DOESN'T WORK! STAY AWAY!
TLDR at the bottom.<br /><br />Shortly after the gift card shipped I received an email from Amazon stating that they had an issue activating the gift card and that they had sent a replacement to me free of charge. Both arrived the same day, but when I tried to activate them online it said they were not activated and to contact the retailer I purchased it from.<br /><br />After about 15 minutes of trying, making sure I didn't make any errors, I still could not get it to work. So I did what they said. Amazon support told me that I needed to contact epic games to get the card activated. Anyone who has ever purchased a gift card online or in stores knows this is not how it works. The retailer you buy it from is the person who is supposed to activate it upon purchase. After about 30 minutes of back and forth, he tells me that he won't send a replacement because they already messed up twice. Shouldn't that be my choice?<br /><br />Luckily I managed to get a refund but they still wouldn't refund my $5 promotional credit even though I would have to spend it on amazon anyway. He tried to explain that it was ok, because I would get to keep the gift card to "use, donate or discard it" but everyone knows that if a gift card is not activated you can't use it for anything. What am I supposed to do, give it to a child to play pretend shop with? Overall a horrible experience and I'm still short $5. I'll stick to buying them straight from the game and cut out the middle man from now on.<br /><br />TLDR: Amazon informed me that they had trouble activating the gift card and sent out a replacement which also didn't work. I managed to get a refund for all but $5.
