  • Why do I get an error message that says "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates?"

    I am trying to purchase a printable gift certificate from iTunes, and I keep getting an error message that says, "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates." You can purchase gift cards from retail locations. I can't do this because I live overseas. I've tried deleting and re-adding my credit card information, and I've submitted a support ticket to ask for help. I see from my Google search that this is not an uncommon error message to have, but I can't find a solution!

    No, I am a US citizen living overseas, but I am going through a VPN and I am using a US-based credit card. I have no problem purchasing apps, just purchasing gift certificates. I'm going to try gifting the app to the person I am purchasing for until Apple straightens this out for me.

  • Why is my apple id account not eligible to buy gift certificates?

    I just want to buy a gift certificate but it says my apple id is not eligible to purchase gift certificates.  I have checked my c/c details on my account and they are all fine.  This is seriously frustrating.  Any ideas?  Thanks

    Who knows?
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
    If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening.

    Do you have a Credit Card associated with your Account...?

  • HT2736 not eligible to purchase gift certificates

    So for many years I have been able to buy gift certificates, until now. I get a message saying my account is not eligible to purchase gift certificates. I contacted Apple and all they could say was yes, I am not eligible to purchase gift certificates, but they offered no explanation.
    This is lame, considering I have been buying gift certificates for years.
    Any ideas as to why?

    My account had a $0.48 credit balance and it said it was going to charge my credit card, which is what I wanted. I have since purchased something to remove the credit balance then tried again. Still no luck.

  • HT2589 apple ID not authorized to purchase gift certificate...why?

    Trying to buy daughter a gift certificate online.  Get this message

    Are you trying to buy an iTunes gift certificate online that you can either download and print or email to someone?  Are you getting this error? “This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates. You can purchase iTunes Gift Cards from a variety of retail locations.”
    It seems that Apple has been limiting certain accounts due to all of the fraud that has been happening lately. Hackers were stealing peoples passwords and buying gift certificates that they were selling on eBay or the black market.
    In order for your Apple ID to be eligible automatically you need to purchase something with your credit card from an Apple Retail store on apple.com.  Others have had success with removing all credit cards from the account and then adding one at the time of purchasing your iTunes Gift Certificate.
    I contacted apple by email and they resolved my account issue but took 24hrs.
    Hope this helps

  • HT2736 Account currently not eligible to purchase gift certificates?

    iTunes says my apple id is currently not eligible to purchase email gift certificates. Why is that? Could it be because I recently changed my address on the account?

    My account had a $0.48 credit balance and it said it was going to charge my credit card, which is what I wanted. I have since purchased something to remove the credit balance then tried again. Still no luck.

  • Apple id is currently not eligible to purchase gift certificates

     

    I finally figured out that this is a fraud prevention "feature," and Apple/iTunes is deadly serious about it. ... I contacted support. They emailed back a day later and asked me to send a copy of a utility bill to verify my address. Well, I live on a SEMINARY campus where all bills are paid. Here is an excerpt from the support reply....
    "I see that you have not been able to provide a copy of your electricity bill because all your utilities are paid. I'm sorry you are experiencing this issue. As a customer myself, I can understand your concern regarding this. Let's see what we can do to get you up and running.
    "Unfortunately without a document that proves your current residence at the location listed on your iTunes account we will not be able to reenable the account."

  • Account issue with not being eligable to purchase gift cards

    All of a sudden I am unable to purchase gift cards on my itunes account.
    It gets me to the screen to buy and then I get a message saying this account is not eligable to purchase gift cards at this time.
    I have changed my credit card number but that does not help.
    I have been able to purchase gift cards in the past.
    Anyone got an answer to this?

    Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and explain your situation to them. If they cannot fix the problem, they perhaps can at least explain it. With all the iTunes Store fraud going around, the iTunes Store may be limiting such purchases for some accounts due to suspected unauthorized access.
    Regards.
