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!!

HT201359 How can I use a credit card instead of gift card in the iTunes store
Amex is running a special where you get $5 back on a $5 purchase or more at the iTunes store. I have a gift card balance on the account and wanted to use my credit card for the promotion. Anyone know how to do this?
The work around.. would be to order a gift, then redeem the gift yourself. As gifts can not be paid for by your store credit.

Can you use an apple store gift card in the itunes store?
I have a $75 gift card that says "Apple Store," I was wondering if it will work in the itunes store. Since I don't buy a lot from the itunes store I don't want to try to redeem it then have all that money sitting on my account that I may not use for years.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
An Apple Store gift card can only be used to buy at an Apple Store, not in iTunes Store. If the card comes with a key, you can try redeeming it in the iTunes Store in case it is an iTunes gift card. -
Unable to redeem a gift card in the itunes store on an iphoe
I purchased a gift card but there is no option on my itunes store or settings to redeem a gift card. Has it been removed from the iphone?

Behind the scenes, thay are one and the same store. The credits can be used with the iTunes Store or the Mac App Store. -

I got a Visa gift card and I want to buy a few apps but when I try to use it, a message comes up saying that my payment method was declined. I know that I haven't used the card at all. If I am doing something wrong, please tell me.
Try another payment method or contact iTunes:

To continue from above. I have changed may payment to none. So in the future I have a choose on how to pay. Can my i book s be returned and I start all over with gift card. I would like all my i books to be turned and the 19.99 put back in my account and the $20 gift to be put back so I can start all over. Last night was my first time using itunes and I only wanted to spend the gift card.
You can't choose how items are billed - 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.
So if you have a balance on your account then that should be automatically used up before your credit card is charged for any remainder or additional purchases (unless you are gifting content, that can only be done via a credit card).
All purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Can I transfer funds from a Visa debit gift card to the itunes store?
As the subject line implies, I received a Visa gift card and would love to transfer the funds to my itunes account without actually buying an iTunes gift card.
Seems silly to shuffle funds indirectly.Never mind. Found my answer.

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. -
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!

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).
