Cannot buy gift card

I'm trying to buy an e-mail gift card, but iTunes produces a loop with no way out but Cancel.
From the main menu, clicked Buy iTunes Gifts.
Clicked Buy Now next to Email Gift Certificates.
Filled in the form, selected $50, and clicked Continue.
Filled in my Apple ID and password.
On the verification screen, clicked Buy.
Got the verification screen again with a red text advisory to fill in my Apple ID and password and then click Account Info. But there's no interface for doing that.
Checked the previous page, came back, tried clicking Buy again. Same problem. Checked my account settings and verified my credit card info. Tried again. Same problem. Cannot buy gift card.
Any other suggestions?

Check to make sure you're connected to the correct country's iTunes Store. Go to the bottom of the iTunes Store main page (in iTunes) and look for the My Store pulldown and if it's incorrect, change it to your country. Note that the Store you're using must be the same one in which you have your account. You cannot purchase a gift card from another country's iTunes Store.
Hope this helps.

  • How do I use my Best Buy gift card on BB eBay?

    Dear best_buy,
    I have been trying to order a specific Playstation 4 bundle through the Best Buy website (which allowed for in store pickup of this bundle ONLY) however, there are none available!
    So I was very excited when I found it on Best Buy eBay, but I want to know if there is a way I can apply my 2 Best Buy gift cards ($55 total value)?
    Also, upon purchasing the system from Best Buy eBay - would I be able to obtain an itemized receipt? Because I would like to purchase a 3 year extended warranty from Sony and they require an itemized receipt.
    If need be, I am willing to go into the store to process the gift cards.
    Thank you for your time,
    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi Skunnyss,
    It can be disappointing to find the item you’ve got your heart set on isn’t available for purchase, so it’s exciting to hear you found your PS4 console through our eBay page!
    Please know that according to our Best Buy store page (found here), PayPal is our exclusive payment partner on eBay. This means our gift cards cannot be used towards an eBay Best Buy purchase. Additionally, I’m unsure if the receipt provided at the time of purchase gives an itemized list of what is purchased. While I’d think it would, please let me know if this is not the case. I should be able to pull up your eBay order and provide you an itemized list if you end up purchasing the console with our eBay store.
    I hope this helps,

  • HT2736 why am I getting a message suddenly that I am exceeding the gift card limit on my iTunes id for buying gift cards?    I have never had a problem before and have a good credit card on file.

    why am I getting a message suddenly that I am exceeding the gift card limit on my iTunes id for buying gift cards?    I have never had a problem before and have a good credit card on file. I bought a $50 card for my son and then went to buy another one and it was refused and has continued to be for a week telling me a I am exceeding the gift card limit for my account? Insights here?

    Interesting.
    Didn't know Apple accepted PayPal as a payment option in some Stores. Cause they sure don't over here.

  • Unauthorized use of Best Buy gift card (Need Advice)

    I purchased a Best Buy gift card off of a craigslist seller yesterday.
    I was told the back of the card was not scratched off, so I thought it would be safe to buy.  When the seller and I met, I scratched off the back to reveal the digits.  I called to confirm the amount.  I handed him the money.
    After about half an hour later I check the Best Buy card again and the balance went down to a penny.  The card was used online.  It would seem the person that sold it to me is the one that used it, but he didn't know the number.  So I can't say for sure he used it.
    Anyways, my question:  If I file a police report, would BestBuy.com look into this even though I'm not the original owner of the card?  I still do have the physical card with me.
    The person that used the card without persmission used it online.  I called BestBuy.com to try to get them to stop the order and to put the credit back on the card, but they couldn't.

    Hello bldade128-
    It takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch. Unfortunately, not everything that is purchased online is in good faith, and I apologize that you were a victim of online fraud.
    Best Buy sees the original purchaser as the only one entitled to a refund, as long as a proof of purchase is provided, there generally is a credit issued only for the remaining balance of the gift card.
    The person, who used the gift card without your permission, could have requested a refund and because it was reported to Best Buy, we will more than likely be looking to accommodate their request.
    I encourage you to reach out to your local authorities, just like dragonkid suggested.  It’s also important to document your report with Best Buy. Please log into the forum and select the private message found after my signature, to send me the gift card serial number and contact information.  As soon as I get the information, I will compile a report of my findings so you can share with your local authorities.
    Again, I am sorry for the experience that you are going though, I hope someone is able to catch the people that participating in this type of fraud and hopefully you can find closure.
    Sincerely,
    Karina|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • HT201209 read the article and still cannot redeem gift card because it keeps prompting to give CC info. why?

    read the article and still cannot redeem gift card because it keeps prompting to give CC info. why?

    Do you have a Credit Card on your iTunes account? If so, it wants that CCV verified....just a verification - nothing else. Your Gift Card will be debited first for any purchases as long as it has a balance.

  • Unable to preview or buy gift card

    Hello,
    it looks like the buttons "Preview Gift Card" and "Buy now" have no effect on page:
    http://shop.skype.com/skypecards/e-gifts/?cardID=9&af=GC&val=carousel
    therefore I cannot buy any gift card. Is it a bug? I tried with several OS and browsers.
    Thanks.

    Hello Vigilante91-
    I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing some issues using your gift card on BestBuy.com to place an order.  With the recent issue you had with a ghost order, I’m sure that this is frustrating.
    I also received your private message as well, so as soon as I have some more information, I reply to that private message.
    Thanks!

  • Buying gift card online for another country

    I can't figure this out. I have an account with the store in the US and live there. I want to buy a gift card for someone in the Dominican Republic. She has an account in that country's store. How do I do this online?  Thanks.

  • Best Buy Gift Card was charged twice.

    I recently placed an order on Best Buy.com and it said there was an error. After I tried again, it went through, but I noticed that I had only $3.28 left on my gift card. My gift card balance before the transaction was around 77 dollars. I thought that was peculiar. The trade-in I made a couple weeks ago on 12/26/14 gave me 77 dollars for trading in Assassin's Creed Unity and Call of Duty Advanced Warfare on the PS4 for 26 and 21 dollars respectively. Additionally, there was a 50% bonus trade-in that week for video games and on top of that I have Gamer's Club Unlocked, which gave me an extra 10% on video game trade-ins.  All that would have came out to $77.55. 
    I think that BestBuy.com charged my card twice, but there is no way to confirm it. Either that or Best Buy had given me less for my trade-in. 

    Hello lucknotluck,
    Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear you were having troubles when placing an order on BestBuy.com. It certainly would be frustrating to be charged twice for one order, and I'm truly disappointed this has caused you to cancel your order. 
    Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to view the order, and transaction history. It does look like your gift card was charged twice, but the good news is that our customer support agents have sent you a new gift card with the missing balance. You should see this card arrive within 10 - 12 business days. If you do not see it arrive within this timeframe please let me know. 
    Thank you again for visiting the forum, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

  • Itunes Cannot Finalize Gift Card Purchase - Security Questions

    I've already gone to my appleid settings at appleid.apple.com and set the answers for five questions, reset my password, added a recovery email, and scoured the internet for other solutions, and yet still when I click the buy button on the email gift card, I get the same message repeatedly. "To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose three security questions and answers."

    That would be nearly impossible. There's so many. If you scroll up towards the top of this page on the right side there's a box that says "More like This" and if you go further up to the search box and type in "3 security questions" they all come up.
    The common solution is to manage account through appleid.apple.com by going to Password and Security on the left side of the screen. Supposedly 3 questions are just supposed to be there however, like many of us there is only one security question offered. This must be problem with Apple itself so the only thing we really can do is try contacting them and hope they respond...

  • My apple id cannot purchase gift cards

    Itunes store states I cannot purchase a gift card for a friend because of my apple id is not authorized to make such a purchase

    inside the usa:

  • I cannot redeem gift card

    Whenever I try to redeem my gift card, it asks me for my password.  When I type it in and submit, it clears the field. My gift card balance shows as $10 in the corner by my name. ???

    I have finally figured out this very frustrating situation. Ok I had the same problem, I have a $16.00 balance but when I click on the price next to the item I wanted to purchase it said "do you want to buy" I said yes, then it asked me to verify my billing information...which is stupid because I'm paying with a gift card. So just say "yes" to the billing info and when it pulls up your information just click the "NONE" as your payment option next to all the credit card options. Then click "done" and then it will let you purchase with your gift card. Really weird and frustrating. Hope this helps some people.
