HT201209 Where is iTunes code when you purchase online gift card? It is not included in the email to the receiver.

Support says:
In the text box, enter your 16-digit code which starts with an "X". (If you have an iTunes Gift Card, this is printed on the back of the card).
But no code is included in the receivers email when notifed about the giftcard. And they only way to 'redeem' it is to have a code. Am I missing something?

I just purchased a new MacBook to replace my old one.   I could have sworn my last laptop came with iWork (Pages, Keynote, Numbers), but this one does not have any of the iWork suite included and I have to purchase it for $80!  Good thing it came with a $100 iTunes gift card.  Perhaps I can use this to get the software I need.  I am shocked and really disapointed.   Does this bother anyone else?  I enjoy Mac products, but my wife and I always playfully jab back and forth about Mac vs. PC (she is not a big Mac fan).  I am hesistant to mention this to her as I am sure I will never live it down.   Thanks Mac! *heavily laden in sarcasm*  Any suggestions, commiserating and pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. 
Thanks,

No, I cannot recall ever seeing a new Mac shipped with a fully working version of iWork. Maybe a 'trial' version? Not even sure there. I have always had to purchase these programs if and when required. Apple are already selling their OSs for over $100 less than they used to be. So do you seriously believe that they will just give away every other Software package that they create?
Good Luck

  • HT201209 If you purchase a gift card on iTunes, will it come of your gift certificate balance?

    I have an iPod and iPad with different apple ID's, if I receive a £25 gift certificate, and want £10 of it on the other, when I purchase a gift certificate for the other account will the money come off my gift certificate balance?

    Gift certificates will always be charged to a credit card; this is also the case for any other sort of gift.

  • Will I get a receipt when I purchase a gift card from the iTunes store?

    I need to purchase (via the iTunes store) a gift card to be added to my work account and then claim the money back.
    Does anyone know if I will be sent a receipt of purchase when I buy an online gift card?
    Thank you in advance!

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. If you didn't make the purchase then you can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Do you get receipt from Apple when you buy via gift card?

    Yesterday I bought something through a gift card on the app store, however I haven't received any receipt from Apple yet, is this normal? Does Apple send receipt to your email when you buy something via the gift card?
    TIA!

    You may not get the receipt for a few days. This is not abnormal.

    Hi Kim ...
    Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
    Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
    what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
    If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.

  • WHEN YOU PURCHASE RV SHOWS FROM ITUNES ARE YOU ABLE TO PUT IT ON A DVD AND WATCH ON A REAL TV?

    When you purchase a TV show from itunes are you able to put it on a DVD to watch on a real TV?

    Sorry, but no, you can't. The content owners won't allow Apple to allow that feature. You can back up your videos, but you cannot convert them to any other format. If you want play video/movie content purchased from the iTunes Store on your TV, you'll need to connect your computer to your TV or use an iOS device or iPod (one with video out) or an Apple TV.
    Regards.

    As noted above iTunes Plus songs can be recognised by a plus sign beside them. If I recall the early launch information the iTunes Plus songs are predominantly EMI releases but other labels may also have iTunes Plus content available now: iTunes Plus FAQ
