I purchased a loadable Apple Gift Card from Walmart and had customer service activate it because the cards were kept behind the desk. I loaded $20 onto a card labeled for amounts from $10 to $500, but Apple says the card isn't valid when I try to redeem it. I still have the receipt, yet Walmart has refused to refund me. Apple's phone support only gives me an automated message. Is there a way to recover or use the money, or do I need to pursue this with Walmart?

Since the card came from Walmart and you have proof of purchase, Walmart is likely the party that needs to resolve an activation or point-of-sale issue. Ask customer service or a manager to verify the card’s activation status and investigate the transaction. If they still refuse to help, you could ask your card issuer about its dispute process, though you should provide the receipt and explain the situation accurately.
Apple phone support may not be available around the clock. Try calling during its published support hours, or use Apple’s support website to request help through another available channel.
Start with Apple’s official troubleshooting steps for cards that won’t redeem. Check that the card was properly activated, that you’re entering the code correctly, and that your Apple account region matches the card’s region. The exact error message—or what happens after you submit the code—can help identify the problem.
