Using American Express Gift Cards on iTunes

Is there any way i can use my Amex gift card on the iTunes store? or to buy prepaid cards and email them to myself? Thanks in advance

No. The iTunes stores only accept credit cards or iTunes gift cards as well as PayPal in the US.
Your AMEX card is not a credit card.

  • Using American Express Gift Points on iTunes Plus

    Have been redeeming Amex points to download songs on iTunes. Does anyone know if this will work with iTunes Plus? What is the advantage of having iTunes Plus, or is it something one doesn't really need? Is there a charge for this? I like getting my songs free with these gift points, but I don't want to have to pay extra for anything!
    Thanks.

    American Express Points CAN be used for songs only. When upgrading your presently existing Library, iTunes hits your credit card for 30 cents for as many songs that needed upgrading.. Thanks to all who helped.

  • Using an American Express gift card in the itunes store

    I received an American Express gift card for Christmas and would like to use it in the itunes music store. I tried to use it like a credit card, but it was denied because of the extra code that's needed. Will I just have to take this card and purchase an itunes gift card? Please help!!!!

    I believe u would have to call American Express customer service (number should be on the back of the card) and then get it activated so u can use it online, they then should give u that special code u need, hope that helps!!

  • HT3702 Trying to redeem American express gift card

    How do you redeem a American express gift card

    You "SHOULD" be able to use the american express gift card like any other credit card.  That said, there may be a problem where the system (itunes store) is unable to verify the card because there is no associated address.  If that is the case, and you want to use the funds in iTunes, buy iTunes gift cards with the card (at a physical store like Walmart or BestBuy), and then redeem them.  If you check around, you can sometimes find iTunes cards that you can purchase where you pay less than the face value (a $50 card for $45, or similar).

  • American Express Gift Cards/BestBuy online

    This is a strange issue but i hope i can get some help on it.  I would like to purchase a Roomba 880.  According to you website and my check a the local store, this can only be ordered online and ship to my place which isn't a big deal.  The problem i have is i have around 450.00 in American Express Gift Cards and from what i read they have to be manually scanned at the store for the cards to work.  So i guess the to questions i have can i go the the Best Buy store and use my American Express GiftCards to buy Best Buy gift cards and then use them to order the Roomba online or can i go to the store and order the Roomba to be shipped to my place but pay for it at the store using the giftcards.    

    Hello RickYohn,
    Welcome to the forum. No question is too strange for us. I can imagine it would be a little difficult to determine how you can purchase the Roomba if  American Express gift cards cannot be used online, and I would be happy to help you figure this out. 
    I recommend visiting your local store where you can purchase Best Buy gift cards to order it online. You can also inquire if they can order it for you to avoid any further hassle. Please let me know if you encounter any problems or have any further questions. 
    Thank you for posting here on the forum!

  • How to use a visa gift card in itunes store

    Can you use a visa gift card in the itunes store and if so how do you set it up?

    You cannot.
    Gift cards are country specific.
    You cannot use the U.S itunes store from the U.K.
    Send the card back to someone in the U.S who can use it.

  • If I were to order the iPod Touch 5th generation online, Could I use multiple visa and american express gift cards to pay for it and then charge the remaining on a credit card?

    I really want to have an engraving for my iPod Touch, but I have a couple gift cards and was wondering if I could use more than one to pay for the iPod Touch.
    Thanks for all your help!

    As far as I know is yes. Call Apple ad ask: 1800-MY-APPLE

  • Mastercard Gift Card and Itunes

    I have a mastercard gift card with about $14 left on it. I figured I would use this to buy apps as I come across them in the App store. I was poking around in Itunes and I couldn't find a place to put in a one time credit card purchase. I really just want to turn that $14 into itunes credit.
    Is there some way to do this? Like send myself a gift or something?
    thanks

    I don't believe you can use a Mastercard Gift Card in iTunes. It needs to be an actual credit card.
    You could purchase an iTunes gift card with it.
    well I already have a card attached to itunes that I would like to leave in place
    All you have to do is re-enter the card number.
    Also, I would not recommend leaving your CC entered in iTunes.
    I add it to make a purchase then remove it.

  • HT201209 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

    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.

  • Can I use gift card with iTunes to buy additional iCloud storage on my ipad2

    I need to purchase additional iCloud storage. My question is I have a couple gift cards with iTunes. Can I use one or both gift cards to buy this additional storage? Thank you. I await a response.

    According to Apple, payment methods accepted include iTunes store credit, credit cards, and debit cards.  Presumably this means that if you redeem the gift card to create an iTunes store credit, the upgrade would be charged against this credit.  If you want to confirm this, call the Apple online store at the number shown at the bottom of this page.

  • I live in the UK and want to purchase gift cards from iTunes for people in the US but It won't allow me to use my UK address and credit card. Can I or cant I?

    I live in the UK and want to purchase gift cards from iTunes for people in the US but It won't allow me to use my UK address and credit card. Can I or cant I?

    You would have to work with a retailer selling iTunes cards who would accept a non-US credit card. Best Buy is a possibility; they carry iTunes prepaid cards and will accept orders from other countries:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
    You'll have to have the order shipped directly to the person in the US (or at least someone with a US address, who could then repackage and resend the cards for you).
