Can I redeem a gift card from the country I am in even though my account country is different?

Can I redeem an iTunes gift card in Euros as I live in Europe but my account is under the country United Kingdom? Or can I only use GBP gift cards? Hope somone can help.

OK you have 2 options lets say for example you live in the UK and the iTunes card is from the USA.
option 1) go to eBay and sell the card to someone in the USA.
option 2) use the itunes card.
if option 2 you will need to use the following steps
1) Move to the USA <------- This is just so you are following Apples rules ;-)
2) you will need a USA iTunes account, now that you live there so make a new Apple ID. To do this go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US and the 1st thing you are going to want to do is go to the bottom of the page and make sure that next to "Choose Your Country or Regin" you have the US flag (or what ever flag matches the place you just moved to to use the card) if it doesnt then click on it and change it. Put in all info to setup the account, (if for some reason you cant remember the address of the place you just moved into then use google maps). if you dont get an option to make an iCloud email address then you can make a Gmail account and use that as your new Apple ID.
3) you have now moved and made a new iTunes account you can now use your gift card. You will have access to the content in your new country and it will be at their prices.
4) if you want content from both accounts, I assume you already have content purchased from your old account then login to your iTunes/iPhone/iPad with 1 account and download what you own then logout and login with your second account.
enjoy and good luck getting your green card, hopefully the place the iTunes card came form is nice ;-)

  • HT201209 My daughter lost her gift card for ITunes but we still have the receipt from the purchase. How can we redeem her gift card without the card?

    My daughter lost her ITunes gift card but we still have the receipt. How can we activate the gift card?

    Go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They usually will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt, so you should contact the person who gave her the card and ask if they can send you a copy of the receipt. Many resellers provide a gift receipt for just this sort of purpose.
    Regards.

    Can I use the gift card number somewhere to still redeem the itunes gift card?

    If this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes support (you will need to give them as much of the serial number and activation code from the card as you can read) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • How can i redeem my gift card from my email

    My friend sent me a gift card worth 1200 yen to my email add but  i have not received any gift card to be redeem but my friend received a confirmation that the gift card has been sent already....how can redeem it?

    You can't if you haven't received the email. You've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on the email account that your friend sent it to ? If it's not in spam then ask your friend to try resending it (and double-check the email address) : Resend iTunes Gifts - Apple Support
    If the resend doesn't arrive within a few hours of resending it then your friend could try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    Or he/she can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Can you transfer a gift card from one country to another?

    I used to live in New Zealand and a friend gave me a $50 gift card before I left as a going-away present. I currently live in the United States and am unable to use this gift card. Is there any way I could transfer the 50 New Zealand dollars into the equivalent amount of United States dollars (about 41 US dollars)? I would not like to see $50 go to waste.
    Is there any way at all for me to use this money?

    Gift Cards are only valid in Country of issue.

  • I have an itunes gift card from the uk but i live in france and therefore have a french bank account. itunes won't let me redeem the money from the card because my itunes information is french. Can anyone help me?

    Hello,
    I have an itunes gift card from the uk but i live in france and therefore have a french bank account. itunes won't let me redeem the money from the card because my itunes information is french. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,

    Sorry, but you cannot use a UK iTunes card in any country other than the UK. Sell or give the card to someone in the UK and buy a French prepaid card.
    Regards.

    (Typing all in capitals is considered shouting, makes posts difficult to read and may mean that people are less likely to reply.)
    There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.

    If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How do I redeem a gift card in the South African storefront?

    How do I redeem a gift card in the South African storefront?

    Is the gift card from the South African store?  If not, you will not be able to redeem it in the South African store as the card must be redeemed in the country's store it was purchased in.
    If you can redeem it, open the App Store, and on the "Featured" tab, scroll down to the bottom to where it says "Redeem".

  • How can I redeem my gift card if I don't own a credit card

    How can i redeem my gift card if I do not own a credit card?

    Whether a credit card needs to be entered onto an account depends upon how you created the account. Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an 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 being prompted to review your account then you could see if the instructions on this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not then you will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
