Thankfully, Nintendo was actually able to help me with a portion of the code so I could obtain the cards funds!
Fyi-If anyone needs to call Nintendo, their number is 1-800-255-3700.

I learned this the hard way back on the original Wii when I was hoping to buy Super Mario 64. I scratched too hard and part of the code came off.

I usually use a coin or this.

A quarter or a dime. I think it's best to use a coin with ridges.

 

[Zoey Sutton]

Always use a 10 pence coin
