Yup that’s really odd.

Did you keep all the packaging? Any signs of a scam? Is the barcode you scanned different?

Yes, do still have all the packaging. It doesn’t seem to have been tampered with.

Looks like the code that Tesco printed out on the activation receipt is on the card envelope, not inside on the actual card. They both look very similar but they have a few different digits.

Apple says the receipt should match the serial number on the card, not the envelope.
