Gift Cards on Apple Store
Apple Store gift cards are flexible: redeem against any purchase, gift to others, and (for digital cards) deliver instantly by email. Here is the practical guide.
Buy a gift card
Search Apple Store for gift card or go to the dedicated gift-card section. Choose digital or physical, amount, and design.
Redeem a gift card
Open Your Account → Gift Cards and click Redeem a gift card. Enter the code; the balance loads instantly.
Check your balance
The current balance shows on the same screen. Balances usually do not expire; check Apple Store's terms for your region.
Gift-card scams
Never use Apple Store gift cards to pay bills, taxes, or "fees" requested by phone or email — those are always scams.
Frequently asked questions
Do Apple Store gift cards expire?
In most regions, no. Check the card's terms.
