So my grandmother purchased me a useless $100 iTunes gift card....
She lives in Canada, but I live in the US. Guess what.. apparently my 86 year old grandmother just got taken for a ride by Apple. She has no computer, no cell phone, just a kindly little old lady who knows her grandson likes music/games and has some Apple products. If I put on my glasses, I can find in the miniscule print on the back of the card - but come on - she's an elderly woman who went down to the drug store and bought me a birthday gift that's now not worth the cardboard it's printed on. I've looked but cannot find anyway of using the card, short of creating a second account and "saying" I live in Canada - and even then the music I bought would be in a different account from the rest of my stuff. Any thoughts or should I send the already scratched off card by to Grams with a thanks for trying card?
/sigh.
Perhaps a more distinctive label such as iTunes Canada or iTunes UK to delineate the cards and make the country a little more obvious to the buyer.
You can suggest that to Apple here, if you wish:

Although not a satisfactory resolution I cannot fault you on your friendly and speedy response.
I would hope you would not fault me since being just a fellow user, as is just about everyone else who responds here, I can only be a conduit for the information. I have no ability to change anything at Apple.
Regards.

Once credit card is billed for purchase, can I use an iTunes gift card to pay for it instead?
I have made a purchase wanting to use solely iTunes gift cards. However I did not account for the local taxes, and it exceeded the amount of gift card credits I had. Now my credit card has been charged, though I do not want to use it for various reasons.
Can I pay the balance using another gift card instead?If your account's balance didn't cover the total purchase price then the extra amount over your balance will have been charged to your credit card - it's too late after purchasing the item to change how you paid for it. You can try contacting iTunes Support, but they are probably unlikely to change how you paid for it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
If you don't want your credit card to potentially be charged for purchases then you could remove it from your account :
Changing payment details : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
If you don't get the 'none' option to be able to remove your card : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information -

When you purchase iTunes content, the balance from your gift card will be deducted automatically.
You can check the balance of a redeemed card here > Account Home - Apple Store -

Purchasing Apple Accesories with my Itunes gift cards
Help! I have loaded my IT Gift cards on account with the ITunes music site, however when going to check out with my purchase of speakers I can not find out how to apply my cards after the fact that they are already redeemed as credit in the IT Music store
Sorry, but Chris is indeed correct. Copying directly from the iTunes Music Store Music Card FAQ":
"What can I buy with an iTunes Music Card?"
iTunes Music Cards can be used to purchase music and audiobooks from the iTunes Music Store. At this time, iTunes Music Cards are not accepted for online Apple Store purchases.
So there's no way to use a redeemed iTunes Music card for anything other that music, audiobooks or videos. I think you're confusing the iTunes Music Store and iTunes Music cards with the Apple Store and Apple Gift Cards; they're completely separate, though both are run by Apple. -

I have made a wish list and I am unable to complete the purchase, I have a $25 gift card from itunes that was downloaded when I open the account it shows the 25 but I cannot purchase the music from my wishlist can someone help me with this issue.
Thank You Cynthia62Just locate the itunes folder on your laptop, then locate media files then music and just click and drag to move the music from the laptop to the S5. Just be sure to move the music to the music folder on your phone and you're good to go. You don't even have to change the file format when you're moving the music over because Galaxy supports the iTunes media files.

Purchase ipod with iTunes gift card
is it possible to purchase iPods or accessories with itunes gift cards? Thanks.
No, terms of use for gift cards clearly state that they can only be used for the purchase of content from the store, such as movies, music, games, etc.

HT2736 Trouble purchasing with iTunes Gift Card
When I try to purchase a song with my iTunes gift card, it charges to my credit card instead. I tried hitting the "redeem" button, but because I have already typed my code in, it will not allow me to access it. How do I get the charge on my gift card instead of my credit card?
If u don't want to use your credit card, delete its info by going to app store, select Apple ID at the bottom of the page, select edit payment method, then check if your payment method is set to none. That way you will be using your iTunes credits from now on...if u run out..then it will ask you your credit card cause it will know u have one...or it will ask u to redeem an iTunes card.
