I am very dissapointed, my hard earned money goes to waste, I buy here in Qatar an itunes card, it’s to late for me to know that this card is valid only in the us account. How can i use this here in Qatar and my account is in the philippines itunes account.

I see people all the time walking out of stores with iTunes cards… Well guess what???? THEY WON’T WORK!!!!! People should know how to scan the cards at the store, people should know how to make the card properly and usable (not you guys). We all want things that we pay for with hard working money, but Apple just doesn’t want to cooperate! Apple is a piece of shit!… Or maybe it’s the people at the cash register who think they know everything, but guess what you shitbags…. yo
YOU’RE MENTALY RETARDED!!!!!! I hate people, but not all just the ones who don’t have a lick of since. So there is my opinion…. Thanks!

Gift cards are like cash so have to be activated at the time of purchase. The reason? Gift cards are easy to steal –just lift off the rack and out you go. Until they are ‘activated’ no money is on that card. So: Never buy gift cards at a discount on line or at a discount store ( I heard some stores were selling iTunes cift packs at a discount –but only the first one in the pack was activated…so no deal there). At times when people receive gifts we don’t know how the cards were purchased…on line? (eg ebay?)at a store ?..we may not know. When giving gift cards..always include the receipt.
I know there are cases..where you have the receipt..clerk just didn’t activate it….I’m not talking about those situations.

Robert…you don’t happen to be in NC do you?!!? My husband purchased a $15 gift card from a lady (old, caucasion) at Walgreens on NC I-74 in Indian Trail. I tried to use it on June 14th and not only was it invalid, but iTunes didn’t recognize my account or password at all. I’ve been using this account since 2005 and have all my email receipts for purchased music. I got in touch with iTunes support and was told someone with the username beginning in ‘super’ had already redeemed the code. Of course, they wouldn’t give me any more information, but I just thought it would be really ironic if you were ‘super’ and in Indian Trail,and having the same issues as me, and purchased the card from the same woman the day before. I have the receipt and I called Matt, the manager of the store where this was purchased and he said I would have to work with iTunes support on this, but also verified that they do not have any access whatsoever to any redemption codes from the card once they’re activated. I am like a badger when it comes to things like this and I won’t quit bugging Bekkie at iTunes until it’s resolved. They haven’t even address the sign in issue for me yet. If I already have an account I shouldn’t be able to sign up for a new account using the same exact information. This is it…if they don’t fix this one, I’m no longer an Apple customer. I know they don’t care…I don’t care that they don’t care. I’ll be interested to hear back from you Robert! Jenna

Pissed with iTunes. Cannot redeem card, get a message that it has already been used, no response from Apple. Will never purchase again. Anyone interested in doing a class action law suit against these people? Leave a message. They cross state lines to do business, this falls under RICO. Wonder how much money they have screwed people out of, for them, that is pure profitt.

Got an iTune gift card for Christmas and it doesn’t work…very frustrating entering and re-entering the code and getting “invalid code.” Nice scam iTunes.
