Why did my year old gift certificate expire?

why did my "year old plus"itunes/music gift card expire?

We can't answer that. Maybe the battery is bad and is swelling inside the phone. Maybe someone else dropped it and didn't tell you about it.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and see what they say.
If it's over a year old, then it's not covered under warranty.

  • Limit to I just recieved this message when trying to email a itunes gift certificate, "This purchase would exceed the maximum Gift Certificate purchase amount for this Apple ID".Why I am limited to gift certificate and not other purchases.?

    I just recieved this message when trying to email a itunes gift certificate, "This purchase would exceed the maximum Gift Certificate purchase amount for this Apple ID".Why I am limited to gift certificate and not other purchases.?

    Chris CA,  62,910 points.  Dang...that's a lot of support.  Before I start, let me say Thank You!  You need to answer a lot of people's questions to achieve that.
    1)  You slightly misunderstood my letter through no fault of your own.  It was a generic compilation of information submitted by members of this discussion turned into a letter by me for use on the Apple Feedback site.  I myself did not receive an e-mail.  I actually was prevented from purchasing any more iTunes gift cards at a certain point and was given a cryptic response from the iTunes store that my request could not be processed.  It was only after investigation on my part that I found out the reason was the $100 max per 30 day rule.  I'd try to find where in the Apple's support site I did find that information...but, well, you are just going to have to trust me.  However, others in this discussion stated they received the information in an e-mail.  I used that fact in my letter as it seemed to create a less "cumbersome" feedback submission.
    2)  "Why look for iOS apps?"  That's a good very good question!  I miswrote.  I should have said "OS X apps."  That is where iTunes is located on the Feedback Site.  Good catch.  As you know (62,910 points is a lot of "knowing"), when you submit feedback you must click on the item of which you are going to write.  I must be so ramped up for the impending release of the new iPhone that I had iOS on the brain.  My bad. :-)
    3)  In all the time this discussion has been alive (over a year), and in all my googling, I never read about an option to contact iTunes support and ask them to remove this limit from my account.  It is too bad you didn't come to this discussion when it started in May of 2011 to offer that piece of advice!  Surprisingly, that information wasn't anywhere on the Apple site where I read about the $100/30 day limit.  Maybe it is there now.  But, it sure wasn't there when I read it.  It would have been very helpful.
    4)  You say "(which they can do and often have done for many people here)."  I am curious, what do you mean by "here."  Not "here" as in "here in THIS discussion forum."  Right?  I don't see anyone in this discussion aware of that information and posting it for others to read.  By "here" I assume you mean the ENTIRE Apple Support Community.  Unfortunately, until you arrived on the scene, none of those from that gigantic "here" came across THIS discussion to share their good fortune and knowledge about removing the $100 limit on iTunes gift card purchases per 30 days.
    Well, I think that wraps it up for another day.  I am off to iTunes support to get this limit removed from my account.
    Adios amigos!

  • Did not realize GCU gift had expiration of 1/31/15

    I received a gift card for GCU for Christmas, and I haven't been able to get to a Best Buy recently. I was going to go today, so I pulled out the card, and I noticed on the back, it says "Redeemable through 1/31/2015". Is there anything that can be done about this? I don't want to make the drive to the store only to find out that my gift is worthless.
    Also, why would they make a gift like this only available to be redeemed for a little over a month?

    Hi there Ltrain23/flix1-
    It’s awesome to hear that someone (or maybe yourself ) decided to give you the very best membership in gaming, our Gamers Club Unlocked membership!  I can completely understand your concerns about being able to redeem your memberships with the expiration date on the cards having passed.
    We have instructed our stores to continue to accept and redeem these gifting cards, so you should not run into any issues with getting your memberships set up.  The store should simply follow the instructions on the back of the card and if they have any questions, there is a support team (plus their management) that they can contact for assistance.
    Welcome to the Gamers Club and I hope you enjoy the benefits of doing so in the near future!

  • Do Gift Certificates Expire?????

    Fill out the form and someone from the store will email you, usually within 24 hours.

  • Why is my year old iphone 4s saying I need to activate it again?

  • Yahoo App on Android for 12 Year Old

    Just bought 12 year old son shiny new phone and have just installed the yahoo app so that he can read his emails. However, when I enter his details it says he needs to be over 13. Not sure why a 12 year old isn't able to have his emails on phone.
    Is there any way around this, I've never keyed any kind of parental lock and can't presently find a way around this. Are there any override options, ie change his date of birth?

    It's down to American laws.  They don't have the same data protection laws as in the EU, but they do have strict limits as to what data companies may gather on under 13's.  Since Yahoo is an American company, their response (like many other companies) is to refuse service to anyone under 13.
    The usual solution is to lie about your age.

  • Gift certificate says its already redeemed but its not

    somehow a gift certificate got purchased on my account so im just using it anyways. and i went to itunes and clicked "redeem" to enter the code and use it. and when i did it said "the gift certificate or prepaid code you entered has already been redeemed" BUT IT HASNT!

  • Why did I lose my old documents on Pages and Numbers? I didnt need a new version. Ive been printing out the same handouts for 8 years

    Why did I lose my old documents on Pages and Numbers when I updated my computer. I didnt need a new version. I have been using the same hand outs for 8 years. Some I can see, some say you cant open unless you buy numbers.....again

    The old version of iWork should still be on your computer.
    Check in Applications (Command-Shift-A) for an iWork '09 folder.

  • Why did my screen crack while charging? It hasn't been dropped, every time I charge it a new crack appears I'm tired of this it's only a year old!

    Why did my screen crack while charging? It hasn't been dropped, every time I charge it a new crack appears I'm tired of this it's only a year old! If its not covered under warranty never again will I go apple I've had nothing but issues so far.

  • Why can't I set up an account for my 7 year old to redeem his gift card? Is there a way I can put it on my account but NOT use it for my purchases?

    My 7 year old received a gift card, but I cannot set up an iTunes account for him to use it. When I redeem it on my account, a credit is given to my account against all purchases, including my own. If I want to purchase a song now, it will use HIS gift card to do it. I can't see any way to sidestep it so that I can charge my credit card until the credit on my account is all used up. I would like him to have his own account with the gift card so that I do not end up using it. Any way to do this?

    Unfortunately, the minimum age is 13 for an iTunes account.

  • Why do I keep getting an error when trying to buy gift certificates

    I keep getting an error message saying "This purchase would exceed the maximum Gift Certificate purchase amount for this Apple ID."
    1) Who ever knew there was a limit. Where was it, if ever, disclosed? Why does it even exist?
    2) Is it a limit on the Purchaser's ID or the Recipient's?
    3) What are the parameters of this limit? Is it $xx/week, /mo, total credit balance, pending transaction limit, lifetime gift certificate allowance? This error is terribly vague.
    4) Other options available to me.

    sorry that meant to read i DID cut and paste some pictures into my document.

  • Hi, i have a MBP 13, late 2012. Its over an year old since purchase and now out of warranty. This morning the computer did not boot so i went down to apple store and they looked at it and said its a logic board failure requiring replacement worth£350

    Hi, i have a macbookpro 13, late 2012. I bought it last year october and its an year old and now out of warranty. This morning the computer did not boot, so i went down to apple store and they looked at it and said its a logic board failure and needs replacement worth £350. The tech at apple store gave no explanation, why suddenly, my computer decided not to start at all and said to me it was a logic board failure for no apparent reason and requires replacement. I have maintained the laptop in a pristine condition. Now I feel I have been cheated. This clearly means the product is substandard as a £1100 laptop is not expected to fail in just over a year. My last laptop PC which was worth £450 served me for 4 years before it crashed and lived for another 2 years until I decided to get a mac. This is ridiculous. I don't have apple care at the moment which translates as pay to get it fixed. Anybody in my situation ? I want to sue apple for selling me a substandard good . Any thoughts? Should I go for another pc for £500 because there is no guarantee even after the laptop were fixed by apple for £350 it would last for another year. I need a reliable machine.

    This morning my MBP just woke up from sleep and is working without any glitches. I don't know what to say about this.

  • Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    And the processor limitations.
