Redeeming an Apple Gift Card
Once you have the gift card, here's how to redeem it:

On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Open the App Store app.
- Tap your profile picture or your initials at the top right corner.
- Choose "Redeem Gift Card or Code." If you don't see this option, ensure you're signed in with your Apple ID.
- Follow the prompts to use your camera or enter the code manually.
On a Mac:
- Open the App Store.
- Click on your name or the sign-in button in the sidebar.
- Select "Redeem Gift Card" and follow the on-screen instructions.
On a Windows PC:
- Open either the Apple Music app or the Apple TV app.
- Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then choose "Redeem." Sign in with your Apple ID if necessary.
- Follow the instructions on screen, then click "Redeem".
The gift card balance can be used to buy various items such as apps, games, subscriptions like Apple Music or iCloud+, and more, but there are certain limitations based on the type of purchase. Always remember that Apple Store Gift Cards in India cannot be redeemed for purchases made from the Apple Online Store, Apple Media Services, at Apple resellers, for additional Apple Gift Cards, for cash, or for shipments outside India.
