TCG redemption codes problems?

Archived from groups: alt.games.neopets (More info?)

So tonight I bought 8 packs of *sealed * original Neopets TCG cards
(because thay were on sale) and when I got home to input my codes it
said every _single_ one had already been used WHAT!!!!???? I miffed as
that is the main reason I bought the cards. Anyone else had this
issue/problem? Is it some weird glitch?

I think some corrupt types figured out ways to generate that codes. It
seemed to happen to a lot of people with both the TCG cards and the
Mcdonald's toys. I would try to make TNT aware of your problem and show
proof that you purchased the cards but bases on other people's experiences I
wouldn't hold out a lot of hope.

You know, I have a vacuum sealer. I can seal things pretty much back to
"original" with it. I do it with marshmallow bags all the time to keep them
from going hard.
Makes me wonder if someone might be doing that?

Superglue can also "seal" the packs if they were opened carefully
enough...I've run across that once or twice with the giveaway
being that the packs opened along the crimps a bit too easily.

My kids had the exact same problem with cards they bought last fall, but
I thought it was due to the codes having expired or something.

It sounds like something of a longshot that the codes would
expire, as TNT has no way of knowing which batches are purchased
when.

i doubt expirery is an issue since they still accept the original 10 digit
codes
