I tried redeaming the card on my main google account but it said that it can only be redeemed in the XXXX. So I made a new account and tried redeaming it there, and then this new error about needing more information popped out. I filled it out and gave them the purchase receipt, the back and front of my gift card, name of the store, and location of the store. I got a response from them saying that either my gift card or email was invalid. I tried this 3 times but it resulted in the same answer, I also contacted their support but they just told me to fill in the form. So I did, and got the same answer.
