Redeem card
Open the App Store and tap your profile photo or icon. Select Redeem Gift Card or Code, then Use Camera or Enter Code Manually. Enter the code from the card and press Redeem. If the card arrived by email, the email may contain a Redeem Now button.
Before confirming, check your Apple Account: it is usually impossible to return an already redeemed code to its original state.
App Store → profile.
Redeem Gift Card or Code.
Camera or manual input → Redeem.
02
Check balance
Open the App Store and profile again. Apple shows the available balance of the Apple Account under the name if funds are available. If the amount does not appear, refresh the account page and make sure that the code was applied to the same Apple Account.
Some purchases and subscriptions may have additional restrictions by country or payment method; check the terms and conditions of your specific purchase.
If the balance is zero, the line with it may not be displayed.
03
If an error occurs
Check the accuracy of the input, the status of the card, and the country of the card matches the country of the Apple Account. Do not change your account country hastily: existing subscriptions and remaining balance may prevent you from changing your region. Save the receipt and the exact text of the error for Apple Support.
Check the country of the card and account.
Check code characters.
Save receipt and error text.
