Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any problems during the redemption process, consider the following solutions:

• Invalid Code Error: Double-check the code for any typographical errors. Ensure you’re entering all characters correctly, paying close attention to similar-looking characters such as ‘0’ (zero) and ‘O’ (capital letter O).
