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 I use a visa prepaid gift card on the App Store? Because whenever I try to use it, it says payment method declined.

    I got a Visa gift card and I want to buy a few apps but when I try to use it, a message comes up saying that my payment method was declined. I know that I haven't used the card at all. If I am doing something wrong, please tell me.

    Try another payment method or contact iTunes:

  • 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!!

  • Can you use a Mac Apps gift card to purchase products from the Apple store online?

    I was just wondering if you can use that $100 back to school gift card to purchase something from the apple store. (for example: the headphones)

    No, Apple Online Store is a different family from the MAS. You can use it on the iTunes Store though.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Will I get a receipt when I purchase a gift card from the iTunes store?

    I need to purchase (via the iTunes store) a gift card to be added to my work account and then claim the money back.
    Does anyone know if I will be sent a receipt of purchase when I buy an online gift card?
    Thank you in advance!

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. If you didn't make the purchase then you can contact 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

  • I have not been able to redeem my iTunes gift card in the iTunes store.  I have received teh same error message that the store is not available at this time.  It has been over 24 hours.  I downloaded the software yesterday as well.

    Has the iTunes Store really been unavailable for the past 24 hurs?  This is the message I keep receiving when trying to redeem a gift card.

    Far out I got a iTunes Card Code and it redeemed just fine! If you want one go to freeitunesforever|d●t| com

  • HT1918 I was tryin to use a gift card at the itunes store. My account was charged 19.99. Is there anyway for me to return the ibooks and have the charge put back in my account? This was my 1st purchanse and I did not realize I would not be given a choose

    To continue from above. I have changed may payment to none. So in the future I have a choose on how to pay. Can my i book s be returned and I start all over with gift card. I would like all my i books to be turned and the 19.99 put back in my account and the $20 gift to be put back so I can start all over. Last night was my first time using itunes and I only wanted to spend the gift card.

    You can't choose how items are billed - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
    So if you have a balance on your account then that should be automatically used up before your credit card is charged for any remainder or additional purchases (unless you are gifting content, that can only be done via a credit card).
    All purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you 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 I transfer funds from a Visa debit gift card to the itunes store?

    As the subject line implies, I received a Visa gift card and would love to transfer the funds to my itunes account without actually buying an iTunes gift card.
    Seems silly to shuffle funds indirectly.

    Never mind.  Found my answer.

  • Can I transter my USA Apple Store gift card to the Australia Apple Store?

    I have a $150 Apple Store gift card from the USA where I was previously living.  I have now moved to Australia and would like to use the gift card in the Australian Apple Store.
    Would it be possible to do this?  The gift card says it is 'valid only in the USA' but given that Apple is such an international company generally with excellent customer service I would hope to transferring it is a possibility.
    Many thanks

    You can't. It's only valid in the US.
    There are complex accounting and tax reasons as to why this is true.

  • 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.
    Another reason to ditch Apple and be a Microsoft customer. #Microsoftisbetterthanapple
