How can I use a gift card on App Store?

If it's an iTunes gift card, as opposed to an Apple Store gift card (which can only be used in Apple stores and the Apple online store), then you can redeem it onto your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
And as long as you are buying content for yourself (you can't use an account's balance for gifting content) then your balance should be automatically used for your purchases : 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.

    You cannot use that card. iTunes gift cards are only valid in the country of original purchase.

    How can I use my gift card to purchase? It says i already redeemed it but I haven't used the money in it.

    Does any balance show on your account ? My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iOS devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
    You can check your account's purchase history via your computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store
    If this is the first time that you've tried to download anything from the store, then unless you followed the instructions on this page when creating your 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 getting a message to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

    You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

  • How can I use my gift card, issued to me in the US, if I am currently in the Philippines?

    Hi,
    I bought my mac pro (first time owner) last July in New Jersey, U.S.A., and with this, I was given gift cards with the said purchase.  I am currently in the Philippines and will be here until late next year, and would like to use the gift cards to purchase apps in the app store.  Unfortunately, I was informed that I can only use it if I go back to the U.S., since the address I indicated in the purchase is my address there.
    Is it possible for me to use them here in the Philippines, because my next trip to the U.S. is still undetermined.  I can provide other needed info should it be required.
    Thanks and hope to hear a positive reply from you really soon.
    Regards,

    The Apple support community is a User to User forum. Apple makes no promise to read these postings, and NEVER responds here.
    I guess there are not a lot of readers from the Phillipines who can answer your question.
    You should try contacting the support numbers for the Phillipines and ask them if there is anything you can do.

When I try to purchase somethin in there, after entering my card number, it says that the number is incorrect. I am sure everything is ok. I also changed my transaction password but nothing happend then. I hope someone can help me with it.

  • How can I use a gift card with AppleTV?

    Orange (the UK mobile phone company) have a promotion called 'Orange Thursday' or 'Orange FilmToGo' where they offer a free iTunes rental of a particular film each Thursday.  I can get this to work on my iPad, on my iPhone and on my Mac - but not, sadly, on my AppleTV (and the TV is where I like to watch films).
    So my question is - how does one redeem an iTunes Gift Card on the AppleTV.  I'm using the original, Mac based, AppleTV - but I guess that this would be of equal interest to version 2 AppleTV owners.

    To be honest I'm not sure you can do do that from the Apple TV, but if you can you'd need to redeem in iTunes prior to rental, so it may be just as easy to rent your movie in iTunes too, then transfer it to the Apple TV 1.

    i bought an iTunes gift card but i don't want to buy any videos or songs i want to buy apps or games so i don't know how..... can anybody tell me how i do this with my Idevice not with my labtop

    When you redeem an iTunes gift card it is simply added as credit to the Apple ID of your choice. Once it is on the account as credit it can be used for anything you can purchase with your Apple ID (apps, music, movies, rentals... Anything ).

  • How can I use a gift card without a credit card?

    I have a gift card that shows $25 and when I try to purchase a song it asks for credit card info that I don't have.

  • How to use iTunes gift card in App Store

    My kids each just got an iPod touch with a gift card to iTunes ......how can they each purchase apps and things from iTunes while using my apple account? We redeemed the gift cards but I don't think it's set up right because the app price wasn't deducted from the credit total. I think my credit card will be charged instead of the iTunes gift card....

    A gift card balance is supposed to be used before the CC is charged. All you can do is contact iTunes by:
