I have had a few parents text me in the last few weeks asking how to redeem an iTunes gift voucher on an iPhone or iPads. Apparently there is a new trend in giving iTunes vouchers as communion and confirmation gifts

Step 1:  From your home screen open the App Store

Step 2: On the bottom left hand side, select the featured menu (the star icon)

Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the page

Step 4: Tap on Redeem

Step 5: Sign in to your iTunes account.

Step 6: Choose how to redeem your voucher.

1. Click on “Use Camera” point the camera at the gift card and follow on screen instructions; the code will automatically be redeemed
2. Click “You can also enter your code manually” and enter the 16 digit iTunes voucher number. Tap Redeem on the top right corner. 

Step 7:  Your account will now be credited with the value of the voucher. You can use your credit to purchase all products from iTunes and the App Store. If an App or Album costs more than the credit on the account the credit card associated with the apple id in use will be charged the balance.
