To her dismay, the barcode on the back of the card had been whited out. It was as if someone had intentionally made the gift card unusable.

Confused and frustrated, she couldn't understand how such a thing could have happened. She had always trusted Target to provide quality products and exceptional service. How could they have let her down?

Determined to find a solution, she immediately contacted Target's customer support. She explained the situation and hoped they would rectify the issue promptly. After all, she had spent her hard-earned money on the gift card.
