How to remove scratch off PIN cover label on gift/phone cards quickly, easily, cleanly!

  • Опубліковано 13 чер 2016
  • Do NOT use a coin to scratch off pin card cover labels, especially if the cards are of lower quality (cardboard or very thin plastic, like TARGET gift cards). You can easily scratch off or damage the number underneath, rendering your card useless!
    This method is the easiest and most practical way to cleanly remove PIN card cover labels!
    (sorry for the bandaid, I know it can be distracting... I assure you it was not due to a scratch off accident)

      Unfortunately no. Uber gift cards are notoriously terrible for this.
      Very very carefully try to see if you can still read the rubbed off
      number, or if it's just one number missing, you maybe able to just try
      it one at a time on a website (if you can, access it via the balance
      checker on the merchant's website, which should lower the chances of you
      being locked out of using the card)

      If you reseal it and sell it as though it had never been scratched, that's fraud (and if you send it through the mail, that's mail fraud and a federal crime!). If you sell it to somebody and tell them it's already been scratched (so they know ahead of time and still don't care), then they also won't need for you to reseal it.
