A code that adds money to your Apple Account balance in the card's country and currency. In most regions the balance pays for Apple products as well as apps, games, subscriptions and media; the Turkish App Store Card covers digital content only.

### Step by step

You need the code from your order email.

#### On iPhone or iPad App Store

- Open the App Store and tap your photo, initials or the My Account button at the top.
- Tap Redeem Code. Sign in to your Apple Account if asked.
- Tap Enter Code Manually and type the code (or tap Use Camera on a physical card).
- Tap Redeem. The amount is added to your Apple Account balance.

#### On Mac App Store

- Open the App Store and click your name in the sidebar (or the Sign In button).
- Click Redeem Code.
- Click Enter Code Manually and type the code.
- Click Redeem.

#### On a Windows PC Apple Music or Apple TV app

- Open the Apple Music app or the Apple TV app.
- Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then click Redeem.
- Sign in if asked, enter the code and click Redeem.

#### Country and account rules

The card only works on an Apple Account set to the country or region where the card was sold, and the balance stays in that currency. A card bought in France cannot be redeemed on a US account, and a euro card from one country does not work on an account from another euro country. You can change your account country in Settings > > Media & Purchases > Country/Region, or at account.apple.com.

### Apple questions

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

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.

#### Can I buy an iPhone or AirPods with it?

Yes, where Apple sells the Apple Gift Card. Use the balance at apple.com, in the Apple Store app or at an Apple Store in that country. The Turkish App Store Card cannot be used for Apple hardware.

#### Will my balance pay for iCloud+ or Apple Music?

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.

#### Can I share my balance with my family?

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

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

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.

#### What if the code doesn't work?

Check that your account is set to the right country and that you entered the code exactly. If it still fails, contact us with your order number and a screenshot of the message.
