Can I purchase a gift card?

Can I buy a gift card with a credit card? With my walmart card I tried to buy a prepaid mastercard and it wouldnt let me. Is this always true or does it depend on the merchant/cc company?

You can purchase gift cards with credit cards. Each merchant is different, for example: My experience ~ I went to purchase a gift card at my local Walgreens with my Citi Thank you Preferred card and it wouldn't go through. The cashier tried three times. Citi sent me a text from their fraud department to my cell phone asking me if I authorized this activity - text back one for YES or two for NO. I text back "1 - yes" and they immediately sent me a text back stating - please try again for immediate approval. Now, I was already back in my vehicle when all this was going on. So back to when I was in the store and the Citi card wouldn't go through, I immediately pulled out my BOA visa and it went right though with no issues. So again, yes, you can purchase a gift card with a credit card - but be prepared for the above to happen and have a back up credit card just in case. Hope this helps!

HT201209 Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use?

Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use? I have a brother that lives in Vietnam and I want to buy him a gift card that he can use there. I've read the iTunes gift cards are country specific.

What you have read is correct; gift cards are country specific. So only if iTunes cards are issued in Vietnam, and if they are if you can find a retailer there that sells such cards and would accept an out-of-country credit card, would you be able to purchase a gift card for your brother. The same would apply to any other country.

From the USA, how can I purchase a gift card or certificate to give to someone to redeem in the iTunes store of a foreign country?

From the USA, how can I purchase a gift card or certificate to give to someone to redeem in the iTunes store of a foreign country?

No, it means you switch from the US store to the other store. Afterwards you just switch back to the US store. You can theoretically have accounts in many different iTunes stores. Switching is simply logging out of one and logging into another after switching countries. There's a switch country link at the bottom of the iTunes Store.
Personally, it seems it would be much simpler to send a check to all of your friends. Far less trouble than trying to open bank accounts and get credit cards from different countries unless you frequently travel to them and don't mind maintaining cash balances in different banks across the world. Not to mention getting credit cards. Here in Vancouver they won't give me a credit card unless I maintain a $5,000.00 minimum balance in my Canadian checking account. If I did that I'd hardly have much need for the charge card.

Can I Purchase iTunes Gift card for US in India

Hello
I want to Giveaway iTunes Gift Card to my blog readers in US. I am resident of India.
Can I buy iTunes Gift Card(s) online with valid US postal addresse(s) of the winner (s) through my account?
OR
What is the best way to gift iTunes cards to US resident while I am sitting in India?
Waiting to hear from you
Thanks

Sorry, but you cannot purchase iTunes gift cards from outside of the country in which they are sold by any means I know of, since such purchases generally require a US credit card. You can try contacting Apple's corporate marketing group, though, and ask if there's anything they can work out for you:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/corporatesales/
By the way, this forum is for questions about iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with questions like this if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Can't purchase using Gift Card

Hi!
I purchased an Itunes Card because I didn't want to give out my billing information. I've created the free account already,and I can see the store credit in the itunes.
But when I try to click Buy Now, it takes me to the billing information page (which I have selected as none), and I can't buy anything? Please help me!

Ok, I feel stupid now. I looked more carefully at the card and asked my dad about it (since he got it for me as I was at work the whole day), and it says its an iTunes Music Card.
So, I can only download songs then? If I want to download apps for example, do I need to get one of those "general" gift cards? My dad said he asked the sales associate and he was told this card is just "older stock" and one can still buy apps, games AND music, not just music. -_-

I Live In US Can I Purchase a Gift Card For Sombody In Canada

Simple enough question. Talked to the itunes support and they said got to the Apple Canada itunes store. I did and when I try and purchase a card it opens my itunes account in the US where you can only buy US applicable cards. I suspect this is a futile effort.
Would appreciate any suggestions on how I might do this.
Mike

Dave, I understand the restriction, but follow the logic in this example (I hope it's logical. Feel free to punch holes in it). I think it could work (at least for e-mailed, virtual gift cards.)
We have a purchaser with an account in the iTunes store of country A, and a recipient who uses (or would use) the iTunes Store in country B.
1) The purchaser (in country A) is restricted to buying only gift cards in the online iTunes store of country B. No music, movies, TV shows or anything else copyrighted. Only gift cards. This is merely a matter of programming. Right now, I can go onto the US iTunes store and listen to the 30-second samples of tracks, I can browse the music and movies. I just can't purchase them. Lift that restriction for gift cards. They are geniuses out there at Apple. I'm sure it can be done.
2) In order for the gift card to be valid and redeemable, the purchaser must enter the e-mail address of the recipient's account - a valid, open account in the iTunes store of country B (meaning the recipient's credit card info is already known to Apple.) This way, Apple knows that the gift card purchased in iTunes store B will be redeemed by someone who has an account in iTunes store B, and therefore any music purchased would be from iTunes store B and the agreement between Apple and the record companies won't be violated. As explained in my last post, it would not be cross-border shopping, either, as the entire transaction (purchase & redemption of the gift card, and the downloading of any copyrighted material after the gift card has been redeemed) would take place in country B.
If the purchaser doesn't know the account address of the recipient, the purchaser can ask the recipient for it. I know, as it's a gift, it kind of ruins the surprise if you have to ask the recipient what their iTunes account address is, but I'd give up that surprise the first time around to be able to give gift cards to friends and family who live in other countries in the future.
3) If the Recipient doesn't have an account yet, in order to redeem the gift card, the recipient has to open an account on iTunes store B, using the e-mail address the purchaser used to send the gift card. But in order to open the account, the recipient has to enter valid credit card info for purchases in country B's iTunes store. If the recipient can't do that, the gift card isn't valid and the purchaser just has wasted their money. No music was purchased, and therefore, again, the agreement between Apple and the record companies isn't broken.
Does this make sense? I think it's do-able.

Does any balance show on your account ? My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iOS devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
You can check your account's purchase history via your computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store
If this is the first time that you've tried to download anything from the store, then unless you followed the instructions on this page when creating your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you are getting a message to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

Hello there, AniChirglyan.
The following Knowledge Base article talks a little about the purchasing order of items through the iTunes Store.
iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
iTunes may still ask you for information from your card on file if that information has lapsed or needs updating. The card information on file has to be correct, no matter what purchasing option you will be exercising for this purchase.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.
