Can i use my emailed apple store gift card to buy itunes store credit?

I bought an ipad and smart case, and with the purchase got a 50 dollar apple store gift card. I was wondering if i could use that to buy itunes gift cards? Preferrably just do it online and get the codes emailed, but if i had to i would go to the apple store and just use the card to buy the itunes cards there. My preference would be to save the trip but i will if theres no other way. Anyone know if either are possible or is that restricted? I would just really prefer to not have to spend so much more after buying all this stuff on the apps.

Apple stores, including online, won't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card - it can only be used to buy hardware/software from the store. Other stores might let you do so, or you could try selling the card

  • Can you use an apple store gift card in the itunes store?

    I have a $75 gift card that says "Apple Store," I was wondering if it will work in the itunes store.  Since I don't buy a lot from the itunes store I don't want to try to redeem it then have all that money sitting on my account that I may not use for years.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    An Apple Store gift card can only be used to buy at an Apple Store, not in iTunes Store. If the card comes with a key, you can try redeeming it in the iTunes Store in case it is an iTunes gift card.

  • Can't redeem Apple Store gift card to buy iTunes card

    I understand that this is the iTunes Store forum and I apologize in advance for posting here.  For lack of an Apple Store forum I am kind of forced to post here.
    I want to buy an iTunes gift card using my Apple Store gift cards.  When I go to checkout, there doesn't appear to be any way to redeem my gift cards...?  I can pay with a credit/debit card and there is a promo code option only.  How is this supposed to work?  Thanks

    Thanks ed2345, but I actually was trying to buy an ipad Air 2 along with the iTunes gift cards.  There doesn't seem to be an option to redeem gift cards on the payment screen...?
    Sefnerr,
    It is probably the same issue.
    If you do a separate transaction for the iPad, will it accept the card redemption?

  • Can i use my "back to school" gift card for both itunes and app store?

    I received the $100 "back to school 2011" gift card from apple when i purchased my mac book pro recently, i was wondering if i redeem this gift card within itunes would i still be able to use it to buy apps for my computer in the App Store? Will the gift card balance be put into my account for use on both stores, or will it only apply to itunes OR app store?

    Since the iTunes store and the App Store are actually one in the same, you can use the gift card for purchasing apps, yes.

  • How can i exchange an apple store gift card for an itunes gift card?

    I purchased an Apple Store gift card and received it with its PIN number via email. I did not intend to buy this; I wanted an iTunes gift card and bought this on accident. Is there a way I can exchange this Apple Store gift card for an iTunes gift card?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    No; it needs to be an iTunes Store gift card to do that.

  • Can I convert an apple store gift card into a itunes gift card

    Can I convert an apple store gift card into a itunes gift card. I bought the wrong one.

    Hey Carterc25, I have been dealing with the same issue this morning... I've talked to the senior adviser of Applecare and "Bruce" told me the only way to convert apple gift card to itunes is by physically going to an Apple Retail Store and buy an Itunes gift card. Many people don't understand the difference between "apple" and "itunes" in gift cards so it is only obvious more people will fall victim to scheme. My advice is DO NOT BUY APPLE GIFT CARD.

  • My father accidentally sent me an APPLE (not App or iTunes) Store gift card instead of iTunes, is there any way I can transfer the money to my iTunes? I've tried almost everything.

    Buy an iTunes card with your Apple card.

    or go to an Apple store.

    Hi, in my case It did not use the balance first.  I had balance but it used my credit card.  Do I have to sign in Itunes first?  Thanks.

  • How can I change an "apple store gift card" into an "iTunes gift card"?

    It recently was my birthday and so I got a 50$ apple gift card via email. I dont want a apple gift card though. I want an itunes gift card. I have tried to redeem both the PIN number and the Gift Card Number in itunes. Sadly this doesnt work.
    Please help me find were (or if) I can change the apple card into an iTunes card!
    Exta info:
    The email was sent to my secondary mail account. This account does not have an open iTunes account and I would like to keep it that way. I would like to use the apple giftcard on my primary account.

    I know that I can do that. I don't feel like spending any of my money or going and buying another card. I also doubt that im ever going to need more than 50 bucks on itunes. Im asking for a solution that doesnt require much effort, nor money, nor time. Also most stores sell iTunes gift cards, not just apple stores. And I do have a credit card... but thats beside the point.

  • Apple Store gift card vs. ITunes Gift Card?

    Not a question but more a comment on the EXCELLENT service and friendliness I received when I called in with this problem.  I purchased a Apple Store gift card by mistake and was EASILY with a 10 minute phone call able to transfer the balance to ITunes.  Thank you Sophie!

    They've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on the email account that you sent it to ?
    You should also be able to try resending it (and double-check the email address) : Resend iTunes Gifts.

  • How can I use the same Apple ID account in two different App Stores?

    I am from Greece and I use my Apple-ID account to download iPhone Apps from the Greek App Store. However I live in Germany and some iPhone applications I want are available only through the German App Store. When I try to download one of them I got the message that my acount cannot be used with the German App Store. Is there any way to be able to have on my phone applications form both the German and the Greek App store at the same time using or not the same Apple ID account? I have got both Greek and German credit cards if this is an issue. Thanks.

    If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
    Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
    Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
    As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.
    Regards.

  • HT201359 How can I use a credit card instead of gift card in the iTunes store

    Amex is running a special where you get $5 back on a $5 purchase or more at the iTunes store.  I have a gift card balance on the account and wanted to use my credit card for the promotion.  Anyone know how to do this?

    The work around.. would be to order a gift, then redeem the gift yourself. As gifts can not be paid for by your store credit.
