Just back from Sports Direct and 4 out of 12 wouldn't work. Luckily had only spent £70. Manager phoned up and said they had no record of these cards. Off to email Barclays now. Take it they have been sent out without being activated. Some of my numbers started with 6000428 not just the 6000429 that has been mentioned.

Looks like it might be a whole batch then, my 6000427 ones worked (i only know that code as i have a few left overs with £1 change etc on)
Might be worth ringing them i dont seem to get replys on email! 0871 663 5029 just incase!

if its any use to any one the dead cards all start with 6000429*** the last 3 digits ranging between the 100s and the 400s if you are in that sort of range im thinking chances of same problem are probably quite high!

Yep got a 6000429***, in the range stated, today, letter dated 13th January, for a win on the 12th Jan (according to my notes!) if that's of any help to anyone.

Can we assume that the dead cards relate to a dead batch from sports direct so will be numerically linked or are they from a certain days prizes? this is very worrying as like others i expect i wasn't intending to use all mine yet so may not know if mine are dead for a few months.

Im assuming numerically linked barcodes and a lot of mine run straight on from each other
I have 9 in a row, 8 in a row further along in numbers that are all dead!

Just looked all through mine - no 429's but have 3 starting 428 - do we know what number ranges starting in 428 were dead?

Oh no, quite a few of mine are within the same range. Was going to go tomorrow and get my dd a new backpack. Feel a bit nervous now though.

Hope you get yours sorted out quickly. xx

Just say to who cashier that there is a possibility that it could be a dead card as you won it in a competition and it looks like not all the cards have been activated or something on those lines.

Im fairly confident barclays will sort the problem quickly as soon as they know whats happened! They have sorted problems out on some of the £50 ones before people were even aware there was a problem so thats a positive sign at least!

I think you will be ok with 420s 427 potentially dodgy, fingers crossed they are ok
