How to purchase electronic gift cards?

I want to purchase an iTunes Gift Card from Apple, but I don't want it to be shipped to me( as I'm located outside the US). Can Apple just e-mail me the code? Am I correct that the person that I will gift the code to should have an US account ? Can I somehow get the code from the gift card e-mailed and then pass it to the person to redeem it outside the US?

If the person is in a country where the iTunes Store for that country offers gift certificates - not all iTunes Stores offer gift certificates and prepaid cards - then yes, they could buy a gift certificate for another person in that same country.

  • How to purchase a gift card for EU iTunes Music Store

    I want to send gift cards for the EU iTunes store to some friends in Holland.I have not been able to figure out how, if I reside in the US, I can buy a gift card for iTunes EU. Anyone out there able to point me to the information? Or is this too impossible to do?

    As noted you need to have an account in the country that the iTS is associated with. There is no EU iTS.
    You cannot gift from the iTS US to the iTS UK etc. even if your friends have an account in iTS UK. They need an account in the iTS that the gift is from. Unless you have accounts in all those countries iTS then you could gift but only to the same country.
    This is due to the copyright holders not allowing cross border sales.

  • How to pay bill using Verizon electronic gift card?

    I have a Verizon Electronic gift card that I got from the recycling program.  I was told I could use this cash to pay my bill...I can't see anywhere on the website to pay my bill using this electronic gift card.  How do I use this card to pay my bill???

    The website is a huge headache! I just used my gift card to pay my monthly bill by calling the Verizon customer service hotline (1-800-922-0204). It was super simple. Just hit #2 for pay bill then the automated line with give you the steps to pay your card. Have your gift card number and pin ready, which can be found in the rebate email.

    When I try to purchase a gift card I get the message unable to complete purchase now try again later. This has been going on for a week and half. I've called support they say everything is fine, but when I try again same message comes up. How can I get this fix?

  • From the USA, how can I purchase a gift card or certificate to give to someone to redeem in the iTunes store of a foreign country?

    From the USA, how can I purchase a gift card or certificate to give to someone to redeem in the iTunes store of a foreign country?

    No, it means you switch from the US store to the other store. Afterwards you just switch back to the US store. You can theoretically have accounts in many different iTunes stores. Switching is simply logging out of one and logging into another after switching countries. There's a switch country link at the bottom of the iTunes Store.
    Personally, it seems it would be much simpler to send a check to all of your friends. Far less trouble than trying to open bank accounts and get credit cards from different countries unless you frequently travel to them and don't mind maintaining cash balances in different banks across the world. Not to mention getting credit cards. Here in Vancouver they won't give me a credit card unless I maintain a $5,000.00 minimum balance in my Canadian checking account. If I did that I'd hardly have much need for the charge card.

  • When I try to purchase a gift card I am getting invalid gift try later. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I Have tried to purchase a gift card, but keep getting the message this is an invalid gift card try later. Has anyone else got this message or know what to do?

    Nanas,
    Do you have a valid credit card on file for your account?  Apple does not allow using a store credit balance to purchase gifts.

  • Verizon won't allow me to apply the $14.13 that they owe me on the electronic gift card that they forced me to take as payment. What a bunch of sleazy scammers!!! With all the billiuons of dollars that you guys make, why do you have to scam me out of my $

    Verizon won't allow me to apply the $14.13 that they owe me on the electronic gift card that they forced me to take as payment. What a bunch of sleazy scammers!!! With all the billiuons of dollars that you guys make, why do you have to scam me out of my $14? I was told by on line chat that i could buy screen protectors with it. Ha! Or redeem it in the store. AT the store I was told I could redeem it online. Why do you guys have to cheat people and make so many hoops to jump through that all I want to do is never use your services again? You alienate me, all for $14. How much am I and all the influnce that i have over my friends and family worth to you guys? Obviously less than $14. FYI, I have started a social media campaign exposing your sleazy business pratcies!!! Thanks!

    Have you tried using it for purchase with customer service over the phone. I have used gift cards to pay part of my bill through the phone or online.

  • How to use iTunes gift card without shipping

    How can you purchase a gift card on Apples website and then use the credits immediately!?

    I'm sorry, but there is nothing that I can do to help you with this situation. I don't know why, but many people have problems when they try to buy gems in the Clash of Clans game. Personally, I wouldn't touch the game with a ten foot pole, but that's just my opinion.
    You will have to contact iTunes Store Support and ask for their help. You can email them from here.
