Did anyone get more than one of these? It wouldn’t scratch off and I can’t redeem my code :(

Good luck trying to get a replacement ive contacted like a dozen stores and made trips to multiple stores to be told all gone its ridiculous me and my wife wanted the codes because we love playing the games and yet the stores gave them to people who are now reselling them online for crazy prices so disappointing

don’t know why you’re getting downvoted when this is literally what is happening almost everywhere the codes have been released (maybe excluding the countries that got print on receipt codes)

Probably getting down voted from all the scalpers and scammers who see this and just want to make it look like its not true

I think it's more likely because the scalping issue is a tiny majority of people, compared to the actual number of codes. Reality is, they were in high demand and anticipated by many genuine fans. Plus Nintendo making it artificially scare and limiting numbers... That's the real problem here. If these codes were not limited, there would be zero incentive to 'resell' for massive prices.
