To activate an Apple gift card, you typically need to redeem it using either your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC. Here’s how you can do it:
- Using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Open the App Store app.
- Tap your profile picture or the “Sign In” button at the top right corner.
- Tap “Redeem Gift Card or Code.”
- Use your device’s camera to scan the redemption code or enter it manually.
- Tap “Redeem” and follow the instructions to complete the process.
- Using a Mac:
- Open the App Store app.
- Click on your name or the “Sign In” button in the lower-left corner.
- Click “Redeem Gift Card” and sign in if prompted.
- Enter the redemption code and click “Redeem.”
- Using a PC:
- Open iTunes for Windows.
- From the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Account > Redeem.
- Enter the redemption code and click “Redeem.”
Once you’ve successfully redeemed your gift card, the amount will be added to your Apple ID balance, and you can use it to make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, or for Apple services like iCloud storage.
