Apple Gift Cards are generally intended for use in the country or region where they were purchased. Therefore, make sure the gift card region matches the Apple Account region where you plan to redeem it.

For example, if you need a USA Apple Gift Card, make sure you have an Apple Account that supports the USA storefront before attempting to redeem it.

• Make sure you are signed in to the correct Apple Account.
• If the problem continues, contact Apple Support.

Never share your unused gift card code publicly or with unknown people.

❓ Is an Apple Gift Card Safe?

Apple Gift Cards are legitimate Apple payment products when purchased from an authorized source. However, gift card scams are common.

Apple specifically warns users not to use Apple Gift Cards to pay for products or services that are not sold by Apple.

If someone asks you to pay a bill, fine, debt, or another unrelated service using an Apple Gift Card, it may be a scam.

❓ Where Can You Buy Apple Gift Cards?

Apple Gift Cards can be purchased through Apple and, depending on the country or region, from participating retailers and authorized sellers.
