I need my gift card to be activated

I don't understand what happen to my gift after trying to buy some stuffs

Gift cards for any retailer require P. O. S. activation, to prevent stolen cards from having any value for use.  This means that when you pay for the card, the card's serial number will then be automatically activated.  If this did not occur, you should call the telephone number on the back of the card.  This is a user-to-user forum, so an Apple employee will not usually respond to any topics.

    how i can active my apple id in first time?does it have need to gift card for activity?

    Either add a credit card or maybe another payment method will work
    or
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    You are not talking to iTunes Support here, only fellow users and a few Apple staff who reply on older unanswered posts - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
    Are you in the US ? If not then you won't be able to have a US iTunes account - you will need to be in the US with the US billing address to have a US account.
    Filling in the gift card field is not compulsory on an account, it is an optional field, you can use a credit card instead, or create an account without a payment method - but you need to be the country where you are trying to create the account

  • Microsoft 25 Xbox Gift Card Green Not Activated

    Hi, I bought this card on the 24th, got it a day ago and imputted it today, and it saids this code is not active yet. I am wondering if you can activate it for me. If it helps, my order number is: {removed per forum guidelines}
    Thanks a lot
    Solved!

    Greetings inventrex3601, and welcome to the Best Buy forum,
    An Xbox gift card that has not been properly activated is really nothing more than a piece of cardboard, so let's see what can be done to correct that for you.  I pulled up your account using the email address that you registered with the forum and it looks like Heidi has already replied to a Twitter email you sent us.  Based on her email response, your gift card should now be fully active.  Please let me know if you have any other questions and I will see what I can do to help.
    Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us and enjoy your gift card!

  • ITunes Gift Card code "cancelled​"

    I have a $25 iTunes gift card that I typed the code in for and it kept saying that it was invalid.  I was unable to read some of pthe code.  Due to this, I contacted the iTunes Support Team and gave them the serial number from the gift card so that they could retrieve my code.  Unfortunately, they said that, "it appears that the code has been cancelled by the retailer" and that I needed to "contact Best Buy to inquire as to why the gift card wa cancelled" and to "ask them if they can re-activate it" for me.
    Can my gift card be re-activated?  The serial number is {edited per forum guidelines}.  Unfortunately I do not have my receipt because this was given to me as a gift over a year ago and I am just now trying to use it.  Any assistance would be appreciated!

    Appears from what I have read that this is happening to lots of people http://ursecta.com/wp/2010/12/dont-trust-itunes-gi​ft-cards/
    I only came to find out about this as I was researching in to ways to send 2 codes I got for taking surveys in a nice gift type message other than just sending them in a e-mail I have to a relitive for a birthday gift as I dont have a ipod/ipad and dont plan on using them. its scarry reading that other are having this issue and how big it is and how it seems to be happening.

  • How do I redeem my gift card?

    I recently bought a 25$ iTunes gift card in the US and I live in Canada. When I go to redeem my card in the US store, it says my account is only valid for purchases in the Canadian iTunes store and when I go to redeem it in the Canadian iTunes store, it says the card is only redeemable in the US store.
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your help.

    In order to purchase from the US store, you need a gift card from the US and an address in the US to use for your iTunes account.
