Redeeming an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or gift card

If you received an iTunes Store allowance, gift certificate, iTunes Gift Card, or promotional code, you can use it to buy songs, videos, or audiobooks from the iTunes Store.

To use an allowance, choose Store > Sign In.

To use an iTunes gift certificate or iTunes Gift Card:

  1. In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
  2. Below Account, click Gift Certificate or iTunes Gift Card and follow the onscreen instructions.
  3. If you don't have an Apple or AOL account, you have to create one before you can redeem the certificate or card. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of the certificate or card.

The amount in your account appears to the right of your account name. As you make purchases (by clicking a Buy button), the amount changes to show how much money you have left to spend.

You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased.
