Pretty sure you have to do the scratch/ganymede ones again, then go talk to DJ zero, and h attunes you. Then the new tips drop normally ( also can get them with 3 normal tips in your list).
It is much like when they added the requirement to the SSA Rewards that you had to have re-affirmed your alignment before being able to select the Alignment Merit. Even characters that had never changed alignment had to run an alignment mission first. I've been told by some that they had run several Alignment missions shortly before that change was introduded and that they had to run another after the change in order to get the Alignment Merit as a reward option.
Same basic principle.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Ok, TJ, I get you totally. I had to do this exact thing on several of my characters. Thanks for the explanation.

Note: after you do Ganymede's two-mission arc (again) with the help of a villain (only needed for second mission... and dual boxing a free account works) then you go back to Ganymede for another mission. Then he'll send you to DJ Zero to become 'attuned' to Valentine Tip drops.

They can replace any existing Hallowe'en tips if you receive one which would take you to more than 3 of either by the look of things. So if you still have one and want to keep it for some reason make sure you do the Valantine tips as they drop.

Ok, now that I can get the Valentine Tip drops, I have another question. Some of these tip missions say to go see an NPC in the Rogue Islands or Praetoria. Since I'm a Hero, how can I get to the Rogue Islands? Are these tips only for Villains? Then why did I get that one? And how do I go to Praetoria?

AFAIK, if the tip takes you to the Rogue Islands, it can't be completed by a pure Hero. Same goes for pure Villains who get tips that take them to Paragon City. These must be dropped/dismissed. Be aware that some of the Valentines that look like they would take you to the "other side" take you to a transport point instead, so these can be completed.|

Praetoria can be reached from the Studio 55 portal in Pocket D, and there are portals in Talos and (I think) either Sharkhead or Cap.
As for why you get tips that can't be completed, I can't say. My Bane got a large percentage of these, maybe 1 in 4 could actually be completed. I'm assuming that was just luck of the draw.
I have heard rumors of a new type of Tip mission rolled out this year, the Valentine Tip mission. This Tip mission is supposed to drop only for characters who complete the special contact's (Ganymede for Heroes, Scratch for Villains) mission arc. I completed these missions (both sides) in prior years, including the Snaptooth missions and have the Beautiful (Handsome for Males) and the Toothbreaker badges to prove it. So far I haven't gotten any of these new Valentine Tips yet (and so far, Paragon Wiki has not been updated with this Tip info yet either).
My questions are: Do these Tip missions exist, and what are the pre-reqs necessary to enable them? Can I get them having done the special contact missions in prior years, or do I have to do them again this year to enable these Tip mission drops?
