Question 1

Can I use a US Apple Gift Card on a UK or Saudi Apple Account?

Accepted Answer

No. Apple only lets you redeem a card on an account set to the country or region where the card was sold. Pick the card that matches the country your Apple Account already uses.

Question 2

Can I buy an iPhone or AirPods with it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in every country we sell except Türkiye. Use the balance at apple.com, in the Apple Store app or at an Apple Store in the card's country. Cards for Türkiye cover apps, games, Apple Music and Apple Books only, not Apple hardware.

Question 3

Will my balance pay for iCloud+ or Apple Music?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Apple deducts eligible purchases and subscriptions, including iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Arcade, from your balance. Some purchases still require a credit card on file even when the balance covers them.

Question 4

Can I share my balance with my family?

Accepted Answer

No. Apple Account balance is available only to the account that redeemed it. It cannot be shared through Family Sharing.

Question 5

Apple says the card was already redeemed. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Check your Apple Account balance first. Apple suggests signing out of the App Store on your devices and signing back in to refresh it. If the balance still isn't there, contact Apple Support.

Question 6

Does the Apple code expire?

Accepted Answer

Apple's gift card pages state no expiry for the UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, and Apple's Japanese terms list the validity as unlimited. Apple's US and Canadian gift card pages and terms, and Apple's terms for Türkiye, list no expiration date.
