Why can't I use a gift card from other country?  :(

My friend bought me a gift card and sent it to me. I try to activate it but it say "can use only in that country"
That's  mean it not activate in Thailand. Then we try to do the other way....by sent that app as a gift.
But still the same...because it was sent from other country :(
I think Apple brand is very popular for international. I would like to see it as an international thing.
By make it work or no limited  for that.
Because when people want to send a good thing to their friends or family they will not worry about this point.
But still...I would to see it work soon :)
Siri

Ok thank you very much....just wonder why :)
Actually just feel pity of the gift card because that a lot and my friend can't get it back also..
Anyway thank you for you suggestion.  :)

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

  • Why can't I use my itune card I redeemed

    Why can't I use a gift card I recieved to make itune purchases

    What happens when you try to buy something, what are you trying to buy (you can't use your balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card) ?
    If this is the first time that you've tried to buy something and you are being prompted to enter card details then unless you used the instructions on this page when creating it : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card after entering it.
    Or, and if you are being prompted to review the account, then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
    - go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
    - click on your country's flag
    - click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
    - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    - then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If it's a different problem ... ?

  • HT1918 Can i use credit card from other country to paid my unpaid bills in apple store?

    Can i use other credit card from other country to pay my unpaid bill in apple store?
    I cannot upadate or download bcoz of my unpaid bill!

    You can only use a credit card that is issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are based. If you don't have one of those then are iTunes gift cards available in your country ?

  • Can I redeem a gift card from the country I am in even though my account country is different?

    Can I redeem an iTunes gift card in Euros as I live in Europe but my account is under the country United Kingdom? Or can I only use GBP gift cards? Hope somone can help.

    OK you have 2 options lets say for example you live in the UK and the iTunes card is from the USA.
    option 1) go to eBay and sell the card to someone in the USA.
    option 2) use the itunes card.
    if option 2 you will need to use the following steps
    1) Move to the USA <------- This is just so you are following Apples rules ;-)
    2) you will need a USA iTunes account, now that you live there so make a new Apple ID. To do this go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US and the 1st thing you are going to want to do is go to the bottom of the page and make sure that next to "Choose Your Country or Regin" you have the US flag (or what ever flag matches the place you just moved to to use the card) if it doesnt then click on it and change it. Put in all info to setup the account, (if for some reason you cant remember the address of the place you just moved into then use google maps). if you dont get an option to make an iCloud email address then you can make a Gmail account and use that as your new Apple ID.
    3) you have now moved and made a new iTunes account you can now use your gift card. You will have access to the content in your new country and it will be at their prices.
    4) if you want content from both accounts, I assume you already have content purchased from your old account then login to your iTunes/iPhone/iPad with 1 account and download what you own then logout and login with your second account.
    enjoy and good luck getting your green card, hopefully the place the iTunes card came form is nice ;-)

  • Why can't I use my iTunes card balance to given an app?

    Hi,
    I have a balance from an iTunes card. I just sent an app as a gift, but iTunes forced me to use my credit card. Why can't I use my balance?
    Thanx
    Olivier

    From the article from which you came:
    Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you can't purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit.
    Why Apple has this restriction I don't know, but many other download stores do as well.
    Regards.

  • Why won't itunes use my gift card

    itunes says i have $15 but it keeps asking for my bank account and won't use the gift card, also when i go to billing info there is no none option

    This sounds like a question for the iTunes store. You can contact them about account problems at:

  • Can you transfer a gift card from one country to another?

    I used to live in New Zealand and a friend gave me a $50 gift card before I left as a going-away present. I currently live in the United States and am unable to use this gift card. Is there any way I could transfer the 50 New Zealand dollars into the equivalent amount of United States dollars (about 41 US dollars)? I would not like to see $50 go to waste.
    Is there any way at all for me to use this money?

    Gift Cards are only valid in Country of issue.

  • HT2736 How to purchase music using a gift card from my iPod touch

    It doesn't let me purchase music and I'm using a gift card and using my iPod touch to purchase it

    Assuming you sync with iTunes then there will be a backup maintained by iTunes. Just sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer everything from the backup to the phone.

  • App/itunes gift card from another country

    Hi
    For Christmas I was given an app/itunes gift card by a friend, the card was purchased in italy. Now I have just tried to enter the code and guess what? it tells me i cannot redeem it cos my store is Uk not Italy. If i try to change it to Italy it tells me I have to register with an italian bank account and address. How is this possible that i cant use an apple card on the apple store??? is there anyway to change this??? i have to say this is truly ridiculous...
    any suggestions are welcome...
