Trouble purchasing Iphone 4s online with gift cards

Hi all!! 
I am trying to purchase a 64 gig Iphone 4s online but am not seeing a place to apply my gift cards that I got for christmas.  All it is asking for is my credit card info.  I have 170.00 worth of gift cards that I would like to apply to the balance before paying.  I'm just not seeing where to enter gift cards.  Any help is appreciated, thank you so much

Golly, all of my wasted effort could have been avoided. Who did you talk to at Verizon? I started with Verizon's online chat while trying to order the iPhone 4s, and then I was referred to customer service, and then VZW's twitter support account thought they'd give it a shot; and none of those 3 sources suggested that I could bill it to my phone account and then apply my gift cards to pay the phone account. The person who helped you was sure clever! Who did you talk to?
Meanwhile, because no one I had contacted could suggest a work around, I resorted to making complaints with both the Better Business Bureau and the FCC. I should be hearing back, soon. LOL.
I've been waiting for over 2 months for the iPhone to be "in stock". I've been carrying around $1100 in gift cards that were sold to me for the purpose of ordering an iPhone 4s 64GB online. I sure wish the sales rep in the Verizon Corporate Retail Store had known that gift cards would tie me up FOREVER.
You know, I was told by Customer Service that I won't even be able to purchase an iPhone 4s with my gift cards (or even with CASH, for that matter) at a Verizon Corporate Retail store if/when they come in, because the store orders through the same portal that we use to order online.
I don't generally sit back and take it when someone has tied up the use of $1100 of my money, so this is a new experience for me.

  • Setting up two  iPod Touches on one account with gift cards for app and in-app purchases

    I have multiple devices on one account - 2 iPod classics, one iPhone 3G and two recently acquired iPod Touches for my 8 year old boys.  They want to make in-app purchases (for Dragonville).  They each have their own gamecenter ID.  I want to set up each of them with gift cards for their purchases.  Is this possible?
    If not, what is the recommended approach to manage all devices in one place while allowing individual devices to have a seperate payment mechanism?
    Thanks.

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her 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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    To make sure you only sync the media yoo want, configure iTunes syncing so that only checked media is synced to the idevices.

  • Connection issue with Gift Card

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem when trying to connect to iTunes Store to redeem a gift card. Whenever I push button "use code" (please apologize for translation: I'm using the italian version), I get a message saying that iTunes Store could be busy and I should verify Internet connection.
    But when I run iTunes Diagnostics everything is OK.
    The issue won't happen (I think) if I buy a song normally.
    I'm using the newest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3) and I've de-activate Widnows Firewall but the problem still occurs.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance
    Riccardo

    Hello there sam234,
    Gift cards are always awesome to purchase, and even better to receive! I’m sad to hear that you seem to be having continued issues with one you may have purchased from us. Generally speaking, we can usually resolve the issues with gift cards, especially if they are Best Buy gift cards.
    That being said, I am sending you a private message to gather further details about the $50 gift card you seem to be having troubles with. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum and clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Can you  buy from iTunes with gift cards rather than use a credit card?

    I have given my 17 year old nephew an ipod for his birthday and as he doesn't have a credit card can he use gift cards to buy from the iTunes store without one? Do you have to have a credit card to open an iTunes account? I wanted to give him a gift card to start him off with the iPod as he doesn't have many cd's to load on to it.

    Yes, he can create an account and make purchases with gift card.
    When he gets the gift card, have him open the iTunes store and click on Redeem at the top right under *Quick links*.
    Input the card number then select *Create new account*.
    Input the personal info and when it gets to credit card info, select None.

  • TS1424 Purchase itunes redeeming a itunes gift card...

    I tried to purchase itunes redeeming a itunes gift card on my laptop accessing my account which is on my Mac. My laptop is an asus with windows. It will not let me redeem with the itunes card. Help!

    Because iTunes Match is a service not an iTunes Store media item. You can only purchase items from the iTunes Store - Music, Books, TV Shows, Movies, etc. with a gift card.

  • HT201413 I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website.  I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it.  I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file.  Any ideas?

    I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website.  I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it.  I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file.  I have downloaded apps before with no problems.  This is the first music download I have purchased on my ipad2.  Maybe it has something to do with the security on the email I received from the artist containing the download.  I have the latest iTunes OS and apple iPad 2. O.S.  Any ideas on what to do?

    You can't download music via Safari on the iPad - you will need to download it on your computer, add it to your computer's iTunes, and then sync it to the iPad.

  • I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?

    I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?
    My wife wants to use my daughter's 4s phone instead of her CDMA iphone 4 with no SIM.  Does verizon need to do the switch since I can't just switch SIM cards and restore from backup?

    Unless the 4S was sold for Verizon, the CDMA module is disabled. Regardless, Verizon will not activate devices on their network that were not specifically sold for their network.

  • How to verify billing information when you are under aged and did not put a credit card in cause you only buy with gift cards?! HELP

    Hi Everyone.
    My sister and I have been having problems with our ipods. We both have the touch and because our dad bought both our ipods and our ipods were under the same name it was starting to sync eachothers music to each ipod instead of seperate. we also wanted to use 2 different credit cards. so we thought the best solution would be to just create her, her own account. Everything went smoothly and i realized there was an option to not add a credit card, being that shes under aged and only buys with gift cards anyway. Now im struggling because i entered her gift cards into her acount and every time she goes to buy a song it says confirm or varify billing information. I have tried re entering her account info, i tried adding a credit card, ive tried several things and it is not allowing me to varify the account and will tell me that my requist is unavailable at this time....
    does anyone know how to fix this problem soo she can buy songs
    THANKS

    You have to follow the instructions here and use an email address that you have not yet used with Apple before.
