Does anyone know what this says? I got a bit too into it and now I can't read the code.

 

[Russ T]

P?HPH43N2_56__?_

the ?'s might be 0 or Q, i dunno

also the first P might be a B

also the 5 might be an S (but i'm pretty sure it's 5)

well i tried

 

[makingmusic476]

You're drunk.

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

Looks like 80HPH43N2█56██0█

EDIT:

You're fine, OP. I did the same thing about a month ago. Email support and they'll ask for a photo of the front and back of the card and your account info, they will most likely credit your account with the money if everything looks legit.

Just do this.

 

[TheGeniusArcana]

B/8 0HPH43N2-66--S-

 

[geeko]

This... This seems like a bad idea.... Almost like posting your credit card on the internet

 

[Skrams]

P0HPH4BN2 B 6 0

I'm only unsure about the first letter and whether it's an A or something

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Good grief. I have no clue. How mad were you when you scratched this off and what did you use?

Spoiler

my guess is a car key

 

[EightBitNate]

Scratch it more

 

[freenudemacusers]

Don't worry op I'm sure someone reading has it figured out

 

[valkillmore]

hit the undo button a couple of times, save, then scratch again

 

[Pinky]

 

[Bass260]

Did you check the receipt? I've seen codes on there before.

 

[MMaRsu]

Don't worry op I'm sure someone reading has it figured out

Haha pretty much

Remember that thread where some gaffer had had posted winning some sort of code and a lurker already grabbed it?

I think that was here

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I got it!!!
Thanks, man.

[Effect]

Yeah not sure if it was a good idea to put up the picture so big. I hope a lot of money wasn't on the card.

 

[FTF]

I got it!!!
Thanks, man.

lol

 

[jediyoshi]

This... This seems like a bad idea.... Almost like posting your credit card on the internet

I'd like to know what you think the extent of the damages of both of these things would be if revealed

 

[chrisPjelly]

Scratch it more

This. Also use soap and steel wool until the print above also comes off

 

[Ayumi]

Scratch it more

Oh look, you're back!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Scratch it more

He's back!

 

[tebunker]

it actually probably starts with an A, most codes do. so I think it is something like;


A0HPH43N2_B6__0_

best of luck,


where'd you buy it? Some places will let you exchange it even though you done goofed. I would also call Nintendo.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Why are so many people commenting on stealing the number?

OP was smart enough to black out three digits.

 

[MissileTrick]

If you tried some of the suggestions in this thread and get an error try changing the 6 to a G. I had 3 different cards where G's looked like a 6.

 

[EightBitNate]

Oh look, you're back!

He's back!

It's nice knowing people noticed I was gone :3

 

[Nosgotham]

call nintendo suppport. tell em when and where you bought it, they will look in their system and confirm it. send em a pic then get the funds in your eShop. pretty easy and quick. ive done it before

This same thing happened to me this week! I scratched too hard and couldn't read.

You don't have to do send them a pic though. They just asked me to read the bar code numbers at the very bottom of the eshop card and put the money in my account the next day, took less than 12 hours, it was quick and painless.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

This is exactly what I did. They resolved the situation for me rather quickly when I ended up scratching off a few of the letters/numbers.

 

[ameratsu]

These replies are awesome, thanks everyone. Still haven't cracked the code but ima call Nintendo

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I can guarantee you the first character is B by the way. Nintendo's eShop codes are basically progress in order instead of randomly, and currently we're in the B's.

Looks to me like B0HPH43N2_56_0

 

[EchoChamber]

I'm missed so much man.

Me too. Don't know my own strength I guess!

CAN CONFIRM
HAVE DONE THIS
DO THIS OP

 

[Jarrod38]

Done that a few times in the past. That is why MS had cards that used the pull tab style. Those were nice to have but don't think they use that style anymore.

 

[Goldenroad]

Also, take that pic down. People are probably getting pretty close to guessing it.

 

[Easy_D]

I swear we had this thread back when the Wii launched :lol

 

[GiantBreadbug]

CAN CONFIRM
HAVE DONE THIS
DO THIS OP

Yep same here

 

[ScaryShark]

It's legit making me nervous.

It's $20... If someone guesses it with 4 chars missing, they worked harder for it than I did

P0HPA43N2_B6_0

Nintendo's codes are nice because all of their numbers/letters are clearly definable.

They don't use o's because they're easily understood as 0's, additionally they use 0's with the line in them to make it very clear.

 

[Flunkie]

OP is a Mensa member

IIRC you can type in either 0 or O or o and it'll still register, too.

 

[thenexus6]

I think the missing is ps3ud0 8)

 

[Ban Puncher]

THANKS FOR THE FREE NINTENDO BUCKS SUCKA

 

[inner-G]

I think the missing is ps3ud0 8)

Lmao

 

[Rich!]

Uh dude

This code is likely already used now via someone here or on Reddit or 4chan. For gods sake take it down

 

[PerfectFlaw]

Thanks for the free dough, OP. Gonna use it to buy Metroid Federation Force just to make sure your cash got used in the worst way possible.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

B0HPH45N2_56__0_?

(And yep, take it down.)

 

[KHlover]

This is why I only buy digital eShop cards. Happened to a friend with his Dark Souls 3 key as well.
