American Express Gift Cards/BestBuy online

This is a strange issue but i hope i can get some help on it.  I would like to purchase a Roomba 880.  According to you website and my check a the local store, this can only be ordered online and ship to my place which isn't a big deal.  The problem i have is i have around 450.00 in American Express Gift Cards and from what i read they have to be manually scanned at the store for the cards to work.  So i guess the to questions i have can i go the the Best Buy store and use my American Express GiftCards to buy Best Buy gift cards and then use them to order the Roomba online or can i go to the store and order the Roomba to be shipped to my place but pay for it at the store using the giftcards.    

Hello RickYohn,
Welcome to the forum. No question is too strange for us. I can imagine it would be a little difficult to determine how you can purchase the Roomba if  American Express gift cards cannot be used online, and I would be happy to help you figure this out. 
I recommend visiting your local store where you can purchase Best Buy gift cards to order it online. You can also inquire if they can order it for you to avoid any further hassle. Please let me know if you encounter any problems or have any further questions. 
Thank you for posting here on the forum!

  • HT3702 Trying to redeem American express gift card

    How do you redeem a American express gift card

    You "SHOULD" be able to use the american express gift card like any other credit card.  That said, there may be a problem where the system (itunes store) is unable to verify the card because there is no associated address.  If that is the case, and you want to use the funds in iTunes, buy iTunes gift cards with the card (at a physical store like Walmart or BestBuy), and then redeem them.  If you check around, you can sometimes find iTunes cards that you can purchase where you pay less than the face value (a $50 card for $45, or similar).

  • Using an American Express gift card in the itunes store

    I received an American Express gift card for Christmas and would like to use it in the itunes music store. I tried to use it like a credit card, but it was denied because of the extra code that's needed. Will I just have to take this card and purchase an itunes gift card? Please help!!!!

    I believe u would have to call American Express customer service (number should be on the back of the card) and then get it activated so u can use it online, they then should give u that special code u need, hope that helps!!

  • Using American Express Gift Cards on iTunes

    Is there any way i can use my Amex gift card on the iTunes store? or to buy prepaid cards and email them to myself? Thanks in advance

    No. The iTunes stores only accept credit cards or iTunes gift cards as well as PayPal in the US.
    Your AMEX card is not a credit card.

    Send the card back to whoever gave you the card. They'll have to give it to someone in the US.

  • Use American iTunes Gift Card to gift games to an European Account

    Hi!
    I was wondering if I can use a American iTunes Gift Card to buy games from the US Store and gift them to my main account (which uses Euroes).
    There some apps which are exclusive for US citizens and I would like to get some of them as well!
    Thanks

    Hi Marvin...
    Sorry but no. Gift cards can only be redeemed from the same country from which they were purchased.

  • Use Credit for iTunes Gift CARDS in Online Store?  No Deal!

    Apple has finally caught up with those of us who would hope to buy gift cards by mail from the online store. No deal!
    I attempted the transaction twice over the course of 2 hours and got the message:
    We are unable to process this credit at this time. Please choose another payment method.
    After I got the message, the whole Apple credit area was grayed out. Has this happened to anyone else?
    Has anyone gone to an Apple store and tried to buy gift cards?

    We just got disallowed because one of our iPhones was partially paid for with a $100 gift card (paid for with a full $100).
    Let's see how this shakes out. How could the rebate programmers have missed this major gaff?
    In any event, more work for me, the lowly consumer.
    Enjoy your 1 millionth iPhone sale, Steve.

  • HT201209 When you have paid for the gift card price online using an iPhone, does the card come in the mail or will you receive the code online?

    I have iPhone 3G S. I want to buy new apps on my iPhone online with 'App store' app. I pressed the button 'Send gift', I had entered all my financial information including my postal address. But now I don't know where I can get my Gift Card I purchased on my iPhone. I checked my emails on my PC nothing there. I applied it three times one email address which was old I think it was hacked in by somebody but it didn't work for me to gain access so I open another one which I changed the email address and opened it then looked in my Inbox, select the iTunes mail the I pressed redeemed on My PC.
    Please help?
    I don't know whether the Gift card posted by mail for me to practically scratch the back of the card for the code to redeem my Apple iTunes account?
    Please Help me.

    Hi mjallemand,
    Great question. I apologize for our delayed response.
    Per our Price Match Guarantee, it covers one price match per item per customer; as you stated you already received a price match at the time of sale, it would not be eligible for a second price match. The item is still within the Holiday Return & Exchange Promise timeline, however.
    If it did qualify, just the receipt and proof of new sale price would have sufficed to process the credit.
    Thanks for your post,

  • Using American Express Gift Points on iTunes Plus

    Have been redeeming Amex points to download songs on iTunes. Does anyone know if this will work with iTunes Plus? What is the advantage of having iTunes Plus, or is it something one doesn't really need? Is there a charge for this? I like getting my songs free with these gift points, but I don't want to have to pay extra for anything!
    Thanks.

    American Express Points CAN be used for songs only. When upgrading your presently existing Library, iTunes hits your credit card for 30 cents for as many songs that needed upgrading.. Thanks to all who helped.

  • Can you use a gift card (other then an iTunes gift card) to buy music?

    I've been trying to figure out if i can use my American Express Gift Card to buy music on iTunes and im starting to think i can't. Anyone know if i can? Or how to do that (if so)?
    Windows XP

    Go to Best Buy or Circuit City, wherever you like. Use the gift card to buy a iTunes gift card. Redeem the iTunes gift card in iTunes.

  • $1 Charge on gift card

    Okay, so I understand the whole other branch that's affiliated with the debit or credit needs to verify the account anf that the charge is definitely only temporary... My question is how does that work with a gift card? Let's say it's an American Express gift card, would the verification notice go to American Express? And, just a shot in the dark, what is the usual time frame for the return? I understand I can't get a definite answer so an estimate or educated guess is worth just as much as the real deal.I know it's just a dollar.I'm curious as to when because under certain circumstances the value of just one dollar can raise very rapidly.  Thanks! -S.E.H.

    Double check the email address (and have your daughter check her SPAM or junk mail folders).
    Otherwise, contact iTunes support: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action
    It may take a little while for someone to get back to you.
