HT201209 Every time I type in the code for my iTunes gift card, it says the code is not properly activated.

I'm trying to redeem my iTunes gift card, and every time I type in the code, it says the code hasn't been properly activated.

Are you able to take it back to the store that you bought it from and ask them to activate it properly ? If not 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

  • Can I access the balance on an iTunes gift card without the actual card

    Is it possible to access the balance on an iTunes gift card without having the actual card still?  Thanks.

    Once an iTunes Gift card is redeemed the balance is transferred to your iTunes and Mac Store associated accounts, so once redeemed the card has no value. There is a number of ways to check your balance. On the iPad open the iTunes or App Store app and from one of the stores main pages scroll to the bottom to see your credits. You can also see this balance by logging into the iTunes Store in iTunes on a computer as well.

  • My ITunes gift card I brought, the Reemdem code had bin wide out so I can no longer see that code what do I do

    My ITunes gift card I brought, the Reemdem code had bin wide out so I can no longer see that code what do I do?

    "bin wide out"?
    If you mean you cannot read the code on the back of the card take it back to the store you purchased it from. If the numbers are not visable because you scratched them out I don't know if the store will replace or refund that. If you can read some of the numbers you could just keep trying a combination of letters and numbers to replace the missing ones. This will take a while depending on how many inputs are missing. You will have to use 0 through 9 and I am guessing A through Z.

    For the code issue this may help.

    For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.
    What is making it think that you own money for an app upgrade?

    BTW, this forum is for questions about iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you want to ask your questions in the general iTunes forums.

  • I purchased an app last night but instead of deducxting the credit from my itunes gift card balance, it charged my credit card instead.  Why? (I don't live in Canada)

    I purchased an app last night but instead of deducxting the credit from my itunes gift card balance, it charged my credit card instead.  Why? (I don't live in Canada)

    I've seen this question a dozen times, and nearly every time, the first person to answer assumes it was a gifted purchase. Weird.
    Same problem here. Books are going to credit card despite sufficient balance on iTunes credit. Seems to be a common problem.

  • Does the balance of a iTunes Gift Card that is "loaded" to my iTunes ? App Store account have an expiry date ?

    Does the balance of a iTunes Gift Card that is "loaded" to my iTunes Store / App Store account have an expiry date ?
    I know that the actual card/s have an expiry date, but when I load the card value into my iTunes Store / App Store account, will this balance have an expiry date ?
    I can't find an answer.

    UPDATE
    Last night, approx.11:00PM  I sent a "Express Lane" enquiry regarding my question.
    I received the following e-mail back at 11:30PM:
    I have read through your email and understand that you would like to know if there is any expiry time for Store Credit on your account. My name is ******* and I thank you for letting me help you with this.
    That is a very good question *******, and the answer is once on your account there is no time frame required for you to spend it. It does not collect interest, but it will certainly be there for you, ready to be used when you find something that interests you.
    Thank you for choosing iTunes as your source of entertainment, *******. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me as I am only an email away. Have a great day!
    I have removed the names and highlighted the answer to the question I asked the forum.

  • If i set up family sharing will my family loose the balance of their iTunes gift cards?

    If I set up family sharing, will my other family members loose the balance of their iTunes gift cards on their devices?

    They shouldn't lose the balance on their account (the balance is linked to the account, not the device), and when they buy something it should automatically be used : Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card.

  • Can anyone tell me how to check the balance on an iTunes gift card that is not yet scratched?

    Can anyone tell me how to check the balance on an iTunes gift card that is not yet scratched or activated?

    If it's not printed on the card, then you'll need to check the receipt from the purchase of the card. There's no way to check the value from the card itself without redeeming it.
    Regards.
