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

    There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
    If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    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

    e.g. log out of your account, find a free a free app in the store, click on its free 'price' :

    Agree to the terms and fill in the details, and you should get 'none' on the payments screen.

  • 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.

  • I don't own a credit card...   changing country?

    I will never own a credit card. I can't stand them.
    Anyway... how do I simply change my country without inputing credit card details? I hate Apple for this!
    I purchased the ipad in China, now I live in a new country. I can't access apps available in my country, and the only ones I can really view are in Chinese... annoying.
    Please can anybody help solve this? Grrrr Apple... just... grrrrr.
    Thanks.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    It doesn't have tobe a credit card, most debit cards also work. But if you don't see a None option in Payment Options, you will have to supply some form of payment. How did you originally set up the account without a bank card? Are iTunes cards available in the country were you live?

  • 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

  • How can I redeem my gift card ?

    I was given an iTunes gift card and I followed the directions to redeem it. I then went to download an album and it processed but I still have my gift card credit, meaning they took it off my visa card instead. I didn't want that, I wanted to use my gift card. Now what ? I want my money back

    After establishing the Credit Card account (i.e. after you have made purchases), you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID>View Apple ID>Sign-in>Payment Information

  • How can I redeem anitunes gift card when the redemption code was partially scratched off when removing label?

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