An Apple gift card adds balance for apps, games, music, iCloud and subscriptions. Here’s how to redeem it.
On iPhone or iPad
Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then ‘Redeem Gift Card or Code’. Enter the code manually or use the camera.
The balance is added to your Apple Account right away.
On Mac or the web
In the App Store app on Mac, click your name and choose Redeem. You can also redeem at the Apple Account site.
The credit applies to the signed-in Apple Account.
If it won’t redeem
Apple gift card balance is region-specific — the card must match your Apple Account country.
Check for mistyped characters; persistent failures are almost always a region mismatch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I redeem it?
App Store > profile > Redeem Gift Card or Code.
Is the balance instant?
Yes, valid codes apply immediately.
Why won’t my code work?
Usually the card region doesn’t match your Apple Account country.
Where the balance can be used
Apple Account balance (formerly iTunes credit) covers the App Store, iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple TV, in-app purchases, and more. Once redeemed it is stored on your Apple Account and used automatically at checkout.
The card is region-specific — an Apple gift card is redeemable only on an Apple Account set to the same country.
Redeeming without mistakes
You can redeem in the App Store (tap your profile, then ‘Redeem Gift Card or Code’) or by scanning the code with your camera. Codes contain no spaces, so type carefully if entering manually.
If a code will not redeem, verify your account region matches the card and that it has not already been used before contacting the seller.
Can I send balance to someone else?
Give them the unused code — once you redeem it, the balance is locked to your own account.
Does Apple balance expire?
No, redeemed Apple Account balance does not expire.
