How to use the iTunes Card?
Once you have your prepaid card, you can use it to buy whatever you want on the App Store and iTunes Store. Now we'll explain how to use the iTunes Card in the best possible way. As you can see, the card has a silver band that you can scratch off. This band hides an identification code, which you need to use the card, along with access to the iTunes Store.
The first thing you need to do to use the iTunes Card is to access the store, launch the screen and click on the Sign In button at the top left. Then you have to sign in with your personal credentials and your Apple ID. You remember it right? If not, you need to retrieve it. Then click on Use code, which you can find on the right sidebar and enter the code that you find by scratching under the silver strip in the space provided.
Clicking on the Use code button immediately gives you the opportunity to redeem your credit. It is important that you make sure that the card credit has been associated with the account before proceeding to use it. To check, you need to log into the iTunes Store and verify that in the top left corner, next to the email address, there is the figure of the value of the card. If you have accumulated credits, you will see the figure appear added to the one already on the Apple ID.
You can use the iTunes Card not only from your Mac or PC, but also from various Apple devices, such as iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. The operation is pretty much the same. You just need to go to the Apple Store and click on the Use code button at the bottom of the page. When you see the screen appear, type the code that you find scratching under the silver band and you're ready to use your credit. Got an Android phone? No problem, you can use your prepaid card safely in the App Store and iTunes.
