You can choose a certain amount in a store or at the affiliated online stores. You pay this via credit card, iDeal or PayPal. After payment you will receive a code by e-mail, which represents the value you have chosen. You enter this code on your Apple device and you can then use it for your App Store or your iTunes. What can you buy with it? Very much! Apps, games, music, movies, books and more.
To use this card you need a Dutch Apple ID. Since the credit on your card is then linked to your Apple ID, you can redeem the App Store & iTunes card on different Apple devices.
How do you link your App Store & iTunes card to your Apple ID? From your desktop, go to appstore.com/redeem and enter the code on your card (after you have logged in to your Apple ID). You can also go to your account in your App Store on your Apple device and then go to “Redeem gift card or code”. You can then scan the gift card so that the Apple device reads the code, or enter it manually. From then on you can use the value for the purchase of apps, games, music, movies, books and more. The credit is valid indefinitely.
