apple gift card says it can't be redeemed

Got an Apple gift card as a present and it gives an error when I try to add it to my Apple ID. Code is typed right, tried the camera scan too. What usually causes that?

Three usual reasons. The card was never activated at the till (you need the receipt and go back to the shop), the card is for a different country than your Apple ID, or a letter got misread. If someone asked you to buy it to pay them or pay a bill, stop there, that's a scam.
