iTunes gift cards offer the ideal way to shop music, movies and apps online; plus they’re ideal for paying subscription services such as Apple Music and iCloud storage!
As with any purchase, purchasing an Apple Gift Card requires taking certain precautions, including purchasing from a reputable seller and entering its code carefully.

1. Scan the barcode
Purchasing apps, games or subscription services like Apple Music is easy with an iTunes gift card. Keep in mind that Apple Store credit does not transfer across accounts so be sure to use it on the device where you intend to make the purchase. Likewise, it would be wise if investing significant sums of money in hardware such as an iPhone to sign up for Apple Care as this will protect your investment and give peace of mind for years.
If you own a physical Apple Store or iTunes gift card, its back should contain a 16-digit code which can be entered manually or scanned using your iOS device’s camera to redeem. Furthermore, Apple gift cards can also be redeemed online on any device supporting iTunes/App Store access.
2. Enter the code manually
Redeeming an iTunes gift card can be accomplished in multiple ways, including scanning with your camera or entering its code manually. You can also add it to your Wallet app so you can use it later for items such as music on Apple Music, movies on Apple TV or apps and games from the App Store.
Apple gift card codes consist of 16-digit alphanumeric strings that may contain mistakes when entering them; be wary if one doesn’t work; this could indicate it belongs to a different region, or was not activated at purchase time.
Integrating an iTunes gift card into your Wallet app makes it simple and accessible to make purchases on both the App Store and iCloud, or use its credit for in-app purchases such as Plague Inc ($0.99) – an engaging strategy game, or Geometry Dash ($1.99), which offers one-touch platforming experience.
3. Go to the store
An iTunes gift card is an easy and cost-effective way to add store credit to your Apple ID account, and is suitable for purchasing music, movies, TV shows and apps. Available both physically and online for purchase and redemption via either iTunes app scanning the code directly into the computer system or manually entering it manually into iTunes itself.
To redeem an iTunes gift card, open either iTunes Store or Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and tap your profile picture or Apple ID at the top of your screen before selecting Redeem Gift Card or Code from either “Use Camera” or “Enter Code Manually”. Follow these steps to redeem and add credit to your account; from mobile games such as Plague Inc. and Geometry Dash to ereaders such as iBooks it all awaits!
4. Sign in with your Apple ID
The process is quick, painless, and user-friendly; your gift card will be instantly added to your Apple ID so you can use it towards products, apps, subscriptions, games, music, movies, TV shows and more in the Apple Store app on any of your devices–from iPhones and iPads to Macs and Windows PCs.
If you own an iPhone, open the Wallet app and tap Apple Account before tapping Redeem. For newer devices with built-in cameras, select Use Camera so the code appears within its frame; or manually enter your code using Enter Code Manually as per onscreen instructions.
Once you redeem a gift card, the funds will be added to your Apple Account balance in Wallet where they can be easily seen and spent whenever needed. Apple gift cards may only be used towards purchasing products and services offered by them including iCloud and iTunes.
5. Sign out of the store
iTunes gift cards can be used to purchase much more than music and movies – they can also be redeemed against books, games, TV shows and other digital content such as books. To redeem one on all devices connected to Apple or iTunes Store, sign out first before signing back in so your balance can be refreshed.
if you receive an “invalid code” error, double-check that you entered the appropriate code and try signing out and signing back in to see if that resolves itself.
Apple Wallet integrates seamlessly with your account balance to facilitate payments for different services offered by the company, including App Store, iTunes Store and Apple Music subscription services. However, some may not be available in your country or region – for instance a UK iTunes Card can only be redeemed using an Apple ID registered to an address within Britain.
6. Redeem it
iTunes gift cards offer a convenient way to shop music, movies, TV shows, books and apps on both iOS devices and Mac computers. Redemption of iTunes gift cards is easy and straightforward across both operating systems.
To redeem an iTunes gift card, tap either your photo/profile icon (iOS) or App Store app (Mac). Next, select “Redeem”. Scan or enter your code through either camera or manually and once verified your balance will appear in your account.
iTunes gift cards offer an efficient and straightforward solution to rewarding employees or customers, acting as customer thank-yous, promotional incentives and contest prizes alike. Not only are these convenient rewards ideal for business marketing, they make thoughtful presents for friends and family members – never expiring and can be redeemed on any device!
