REDEEM GIFT CARD IN DIFFERENT COUNTRY

How come I can't use a gift card given to me by somebody in a different country?

Yes. They are registered to the country associated with the Apple ID that purchased it. That's why you cannot redeem it. The person who gave you the gift wasted their money because only someone in that person's country can redeem the gift card.

  • HT201209 How to redeem iTunes gift card in different country?

    I'm from Malaysia. But my iTune gift card is from U.S. . When I tried to redeem it, it told me to redeem at U.S. storefront. Can anyone help me?

    You can't redeem it outside of the USA. You also can't change the iTunes Store country while any of its balance remains.

  • HT5622 Redeeming Gift Cards from another country?

    My daughter has been given an Apple gift cert bought in Ireland but her ID is UK store based, it states that she needs a new ID to use the Ireland store front. Which she moved to but it asked her to set up a new ID. If she has two ID's surely she will have two sets of music in two different locations?
    Any ideas on how she can redeem this inot her UK iTunes ID so she can manage her music & videos in one location?
    Thanks

    - You can only use the iTunes/App store in the country you are located. An iTunes gift card can only be redeemed in the same country's store in which the card was purchased.
    - If she is in Ireland then shed can redeem the card into her existing account.existing . However, if she still has a balance for the UK store she has to remove that balance before she can change country store and redeem the Ireland card.

    Sir,
    I thought So too but then I went to Itunes Library and try and buy a single song from an album for $1.29.  Now my Itunes Gift card balance is $ 7.10 as I mentioned earlier. it still did not let me buy and kept trying billing my Visa card.
    Should I restart my PC and Itunes and retry. What do you suggest?
    regards

    iTunes will not use the redeemed gift cards on my account, I have a $30 credit and when I try to purchase a song it goes right to my credit card on file. Why does this keep happening???

    Any time you've changed anything in your billing, it does this once to very things.

    Hi ChuckN,
    I have installed the update at home on an older 27" iMac, a new retina macbook pro 15", an older macbook air  and a recent 21" iMac and on none of them does the redeem by camera option show up.
    I would say to our north American friends this is something that has been working for you for a while and has only been announced as available in AU with the latest update for our region this week. Sadly updates don't always work straight up.
    I am hopeful there is something I have not turned on but think I may need to wait for another update.
    good luck Chuck!

  • I get error 5002 when trying to redeem gift cards , what do I need to do to fix this.

    I get error 5002 when trying to redeem gift cards, what can I do to fix this?

    http://store.apple.com/us
    I have been trying to fix this myself and just found a way tonight. This started happening after I downloaded a new version. I tried several other approaches and was unsuccessful until I was directed to the support website.  I searched for 5002 error.  I chose specific conditions and alert message.  Then chose "Error 5002" which gave a little detail. 
    Basically I had to go to the above site and change my password and some other account information.  It didn't work when I tried in my actual ITUNES application.  I think because my account was so old and they upgraded some security items like stronger passwords etc., so the old stuff was no longer good enough.  I have now redeemed two gift cards.  I hope it helps.

  • TS1292 do i have to have my ipod touch with me to redeem gift card or can i loan via computer to the ipod so it will be available on the ipod

    do i have to have my ipod touch with me to redeem gift card or can i loan via computer to the ipod so it will be available on the ipod

    All the music should be on the computer so you can just sync the music back to the iPod after you restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. Regarding app data, just export (email/file sharing etc) as much as possible so you can import it back.

  • HT201209 how do i fine out my account balance when i redeem gift cards

    If I redeem gift cards, where can I see my account balance?  Also, if I purchase apps, games, etc., How does it know to use the gift card vs. my credit card on file?
    Thx!

    My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iOS devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
    When purchasing items from the store your account's balance should be automatically used first (you can't gift content from your balance) - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

  • HT2105 is there a limit on redeeming gift cards per day? how about purchasing in app?

    is there a limit on redeeming gift cards per day? how about purchasing in app?

    AFAIK, there's no limit to how many gift cards can be redeemed in a 24 hour period. Same for In-App purchases.
