HT201209 I was bought a gift card but can't redeem it. The second time this has happened.

Any advice other than just not to bother buying gift cards in future?

Hello there, JohnP118.
The following Knowledge Base article has the information you would need on contacting iTunes Store support on the issue you're having:

Specifically:
Contacting iTunes Store Support
Go to the iTunes support page and select your iTunes country.
From the iTunes support page, choose Contact Support on the lower-left side of the page.
Follow the instructions to get iTunes Store support assistance.
