How do I redeem my Apple iTunes Gift Card? (2024)

How does an App Store & iTunes Gift Card work?

With an Apple Gift Card you can top up your Apple ID credit. You can then purchase apps in the App Store, download music or activate your music subscription in the iTunes Store. Perhaps you like reading books? Take a look at the iBooks app. You can also use your Apple ID credit to upgrade your iCloud storage. That really comes in handy if you have many important photos or documents that you want to keep safe.
