HT1541 If i buy a itunes gift card on line - where does it go to ?

If i buy an itunes gift card online - where does it go to?

It depends on what precisely you mean. If you buy a gift card from the Apple Store (the one that sells hardware) or another such retailer, it's a physical card that will be shipped to you. If you buy a gift through the iTunes Store, it comes in the form of a redemption code in an email. Arrival can take anywhere from minutes to a day or so.

  • So if I want to buy an non-music app I need to buy an iTunes gift card?

    I bought gift cards for myself and my family so we could download apps onto our iPads.  The gift cards had the the little triangle emblem just like the App Store icon on our iPads.
    But nowhere on the iPad App Store is there a method to redeem the gift cards.  Phone Support just told me that I have purchased the wrong gift cards and that they are non-transferable.
    So if I want to buy an iWork app, I must purchase an iTunes gift card?  But I don't want to download music and I don't select the app from iTunes...I select it from the App Store
    And if I buy the gift card with the App Store triangle emblem then that card is only good at the online retail store and not for apps?
    It seems somewhat absurd to have 3 virtual storefronts (App, Online Retail, iTunes) that cannot take each others gift cards.  Why can't Apple be as easy as Amazon?  One gift card works everywhere.
    Is there any way to use our gift cards to download for-pay apps?  Or should I recover my money by disputing the purchase with my credit card company?

    Thanks for your reply.
    I took my iPad, my case #, my iPhone, and a printout of this thread to my local Apple store. What ultimately worked was to redeem the online store gift card through my iPhone Passbook and use the money to buy an iTunes gift card. Then I redeemed the iTunes gift card. 
    Not sure this will work with the gift cards I gave as presents and, if I lacked an iPhone (like my mother lacks) then I would have been S.O.L.  Apparently the emailed online store gift cards are incompatible (no GCA code). Something for Apple to fix. Not having Passbook on iPad is another thing.
    Thanks again for the help

  • Can and how do you buy an iTunes gift card with an Apple Store gift card?

    Hi. I received an Apple Store gift card as a gift and really want to buy an iTunes gift card with it. I looked it up and nothing returned, so just checking here to see if you guys know anything. Thanks!

    Apple Store Gift Cards can purchase this -
    Use your Apple Store Gift Card for the purchase of a new iPad, iPhone, Mac, or anything else at the Apple Online Store or Apple Retail Store.
    Basicly the Apple store gift card is for purchases such as devices/accessories etc.
    Sorry, to purchase an iTunes gift card will need another way to do so

  • I buy an itunes gift card from apple store u.s but code of this card is not active

    I buy an itunes gift card from apple store u.s but code of this card is not active. it's means when i inter code of this card for redeem it doesn't work and says your code is incorrect.

    What's the actual error message that you are getting, that the card hasn't been activated or that the code is invalid ?
    If invalid code (and your iTunes account has a US billing address on your account ; all gift cards are country-specific) and this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes
    You can also use that link to contact Support if the card hasn't been activated.

    You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

  • I bought the wrong gift card. I wanted to buy an itunes gift card but instead I accidentally got Apple store gift card via email. How can I buy an itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

    I Wanted to buy itunes gift card but instead I got apple store gift card accidentally how can I buy itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

    You can't from Apple, they don't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card. You could see if a different store in your country might let you (though they possibly won't), or try selling the card to somebody e.g. family, friend, eBay etc

  • Where is the best place to buy an iTunes Gift Card?

    When I purchased an iTunes Gift Card at a Wal-Mart store, the cashier scanned the card (like any other item), instead of sliding it, and I paid for it. When I got home to redeem it, iTunes said this message: "The Gift Certificate or Prepaid Card code you entered has not been activated. Please return to the original point of purchase for assistance."
    Luckily, I had the receipt, and, after lots of arguing, was able to get a new card (the cashier said that she slid the card), and when I entered the code, it worked.
    How are cashiers supposed to activate iTunes Gift Cards? Do they scan it, or are they supposed to slid the card like a credit card?
    Where can I buy a Gift Card without getting, "The Gift Certificate or Prepaid Card code you entered has not been activated. Please return to the original point of purchase for assistance."?
    I've seen some cards in which there is no black bar for sliding the card; instead, there's just a barcode under a window. How are those activated? By just scanning it?

    dlee--
    Usually, WalMart's pretty good with gift cards. Usually. (Stuff happens, okay? )
    Anyplace that carries them is usually pretty good, especially if you have your receipt. In my area, Safeway and Albertsons are pretty good. I also have a Mac Store (NOT an Apple Store, but carries Apple products) that's good, and Best Buy is also good.
    Hope this helps--
    Doc
