HT201209 EVERY TIME i REDEEM AN ItUNES GIFT CARD, MY PREVIOUS BALANCE DISAPPEARS! HOW MANY DOLLARS I HAVE LOST IS UNKNOWN TO ME! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

Today I redeemed a $15 gift card. I had .95 on my account from a previous redemption. As soon as I redeemed, the balance disappeared, and left my balance as $15. I noticed this happen before several times and assumed that Apple was keeping track. I dont think so, I think I am being ripped off!

Because your iTunes Store credit can't be spent on content for anyone else or transferred to anyone else's iTunes Store account.

I am having hard time in redeem my iTunes gift card that I just got

I am having hard time in redeem my gift card I just got

That is very vague.
Perhaps if you were to explain the problem, then someone could help.

HT201209 When can I redeem my itunes gift card?

I was advised today that I have to wait 24hours before redeeming the amount. Is this true? I've never noticed this condition before and in the past, I've redeemed the amount the same day. So, can I redeem the card today or do I have to wait until tomorrow? Thanks for your help.

If you purchased the card at a retailer and they had to activate it, it may perhaps take a bit of time for them to either submit the activation or for that to make it through the various systems. That might be what they were referring to. If you try to redeem your card and it reports as not being activated, try waiting until the next day.
Regards.

Do you have to redeem your iTunes gift card every time you buy something? Or does it take money off the card automatically?

As far as I know redeeming a card simply adds the value to your account.
When I credit a gift card I get a credit appearing in my iTunes account.
Every time I buy something the cost is deducted from my 'iTunes credit', the card is no lobger needed or usable after redemption.

HT201209 I recently changed my email address, and my old one is listed on my itunes acct. I redeemed an Itunes gift card, but it went to my old acct. How do I transfer mt gift card to the new acct.? I tried, but it said it has already been redeemed

Okay... I redeemed my itunes gift card, under my old ID. I had since updated my new email address, but didnt realize i redeemed it under the old ID. I tried to redeem it under my new ID, but i couldnt. Is there a way to switch my gift card amount to my current ID??

No, it's not currently possible to transfer a redeemed card to a different account, and you also won't be able to use it to gift content to the newer account (you can only gift via a credit card) - so the amount will remain linked to that old account

HT201209 If I redeem an iTunes gift card on an account that does not have a credit card or NONE as payment, can I gift apps to other accounts? It will not let me. Please advise.

If I redeem an iTunes Gift Card to an Apple ID that does not have a credit card (or NONE is selected as payment option), can I gift an app to another account?
I can purchase apps on that account but it will not allow me to gift an app from an ipad or via the itunes store (on the computer). Do I need to have a credit card on the account to be able to do that?

You can only gift via a credit card - you can only use your account's balance for buying content for yourself.

I redeemed my itunes gift card on my sisters ipad and I would like to get something for my dad but it says that the card has already been redeemed. Is there a way to unredeem or transfer the credits? Thank you!

No, once you redeem a card to your account, it is permanently there, until you spend the amount you have redeemed.

HT201209 I have a problem with my ID i redeem my itune gift card at a different ID i cant used the money it is on it at a specific game what may i do?

I have a problem with my ID i redeem my itune gift card at a different ID i cant used the money on a specific game what may i do?

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

I'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out". does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message?

i'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out." does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message in stead?

I've been having the same issues too, and thought it was just my outdated computer or account?!
Every time I try to purchase a song, "session has timed out" shows up after I click "agree" to the terms!? I seem to be in the exact same scenario as 'SportsBarn' above: Itunes support have replied repeatedly with the same "solutions" but nothing has helped or even been applicable. I have an older laptop, 2005 Powerbook running OS X 10.4 Tiger so it's not compatible with the latest iTunes 10.5.2 which requires minimum OS X 10.5. I've been using the balance already in my iTunes account (from redeemed giftcards over the past few years) with no problem, until recently (my last successful purchase was October 2011). I wonder if it's the older OS or just a redemption glitch even with newer computers?

Is there a way to redeem an iTunes gift card via the serial number

Is there a way to redeem an iTunes gift card via the serial number

yes there is
I used this when accidentally scratching off some of my code
Open iTunes and go to Redeem
Enter any code and click Redeem, it will prompt you for a correct code
do the same a couple more times until a new item pops up saying "Please re-enter your code or Get Help"
The 'get help' bit is a link so click on that, you will then get to a Code Redeem Support page where you can input the serial number, providing the serial belongs to a card that has not been previously redeemed then you will get the amount credited to your account
i can't remember how long this took to credit, but i was just glad that it worked
