Issue redeeming a US iTunes gift card for Australia registered account

I received a US iTunes gift card for Christmas but currently have my apple ID registered in Australia. I tried to switch my iTunes store registration from Australia to the US to redeem my gift card, but am unable to do so because iTunes says "you still have rentals that have not expired". How do I delete the rental record so I can switch the country and redeem my gift card? Thanks

You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
Are you in the U.S?
Do you have a valid U.S billing address on your credit card?

  • I redeemed my $25 itunes gift card on a new account with no email address how do I get the credit on my regular itunes account?

    I got a $25 itunes gift card and tried to redeem it on my regular itunes apple ID account and I had a message saying the code was invalid so I made a new account and redeemed it on that account but it doesnt have a valid email address and I cant even remember what it was how do I get the credit from wherever it is onto my regular itunes apple ID account?

    Qauzzy,  The credit was applied to the account you used at the time you redeemed the card.  There is no way to transfer the credit to another account.
    You might as well just spend the $25 on the new account, and then stop using it and go back to your regular account..
    For future reference, do not start a new account just because you have a problem with the code.  Rather, follow the suggestions in this document: iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes

  • How do you use an iTunes gift card for in-app purchases?

    My kids received iTunes gift cards for christmas and want to use the $$ towards in-app purchases in Clash of Clans. We've already redeemed the cards to their iTunes accounts. Now they want to use them within the app.
    How do they do this? If they try to purchase something it seems to just go against a credit card, and not give them the option to use the iTunes credit.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    PinoFamily

    How do I know if the in-app purchase is deducting from the redeem credits or from my credit cards.
    Also, is it possible to check the remaining balance of the iTunes gift card?  This is the 1st time I deal with apple gift card... Quite confusing...
    Please kindly advise.
    Thank you for your attention.
    Purchases are always deducted from the credits first.  Look at the menu bar at the top for remaining credit.  My credit is $23.59.

  • HT201209 Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use?

    Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use? I have a brother that lives in Vietnam and I want to buy him a gift card that he can use there.  I've read the iTunes gift cards are country specific.

    What you have read is correct; gift cards are country specific. So only if iTunes cards are issued in Vietnam, and if they are if you can find a retailer there that sells such cards and would accept an out-of-country credit card, would you be able to purchase a gift card for your brother. The same would apply to any other country.
    Regards.

  • HT201209 Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks?

    Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks?  How?

    Yes, I've used them to buy from the ibookstore, app store, iTunes and the Mac App Store. They can be used in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (or via your computer's iTunes) in the same way as you use your account's balance to buy music or apps - so you first need to redeem a gift card so that it gets added to your account, and you can then buy things from the stores with it.

  • Cant use money I redeemed from my iTunes gift card??

    My account shows I have $15.73.  Im trying to purchase an app on my macbook pro that is $14.99 but when I get to billing info it doesn't give me an option to use my credit I redeemed on my iTunes gift card.  What am I doing wrong?

    How much is it after you add in tax?  I have never made a purchase at the iTunes Store but my understanding is even if your credit is insufficient to buy an item outright you should still be able to pay for it and pay for the balance with a credit card.

  • Can I use an iTunes gift card for icloud storage back up

    Can I use a iTunes gift card for icloud storage back-up

    You can use them to buy ibooks from the ibookstore - and also for items from iTunes, the app store and Mac App Store.
    I assume that you are going to give the card(s) as presents ? You can't buy a card, redeem it onto your account, and then use your account's balance to gift items from the store, gifting can only be done via a credit card (and ibooks can't be gifted).

  • My girlfriend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the Canada store and spend most of it with .02¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't.

    My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*

    You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged  to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

  • I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I want to use my credit card to pay for songs. It automatically uses my balance and doensn't give me the option of using my credit card. In detail how do I change it or must I use my balance first?

    I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I would rather use my credit card to pay for my music downloads. I cannot find an option to choose credit card over my balance, it just automatically uses my gift card balance instead. Is there a way to change this? I have gone to account settings but cannot find a way to do this. Does anyone have any detailed information on how this could be achieved? Is it even possible? Thanks so much in advance!

    Sorry, but there's no way to force the iTunes Store to use your credit card. If there's a credit balance available, purchases will be deducted from that first.
    Regards.
