Redeeming iTunes Gift Cards

iTunes gift cards are a common gift in today’s society.  They allow you to buy anything in the iTunes store from music to videos to apps.  Before you can use the gift card you first have to redeem it.  Redeeming a gift card places the dollar amount of the gift card as credit in your iTunes account.  Redeeming a gift card is easy, just follow these steps:

    1. Open iTunes
    2. Go to the iTunes Store by clicking on the button labeled “iTunes Store” in the top right of the window.
    3. Toward the bottom right of the window is a section called “Quick Links”.  Click on the “Redeem” link in that section.iTunes Store Quicklinks
    4. If you aren’t already logged in with your AppleID it will ask you to log in.
    5. Now enter the code that can be found on the back of your gift card and click the Redeem button.

The amount of the gift card should now be added to amount of money that can be seen next to your AppleID username toward the top of the window.  Now you no longer need the physical gift card because it is associated with your account.  You can use this money from any of your devices (Computer, Phone, Tablet) as long as you are signed in with your AppleID.
