iTunes codes explained: where to buy, how to redeem, and more!

iTunes codes are a quick and easy way to top up your iTunes credit, which you can use to buy apps, games, music, movies, TV shows, and much more! In this article, we cover everything you need to know about iTunes codes, including where to buy them and how to redeem them.

What is an iTunes code?

An iTunes code is a unique code you receive after purchasing an iTunes Gift Card. These gift cards are available as physical cards and digital codes. If you buy a physical iTunes card, you’ll find the iTunes code on the back of the card. When purchasing a digital iTunes gift card code, the code is sent to your screen and email immediately after payment.

What can I do with an iTunes code?

After redeeming your iTunes code, the credit is added to your Apple ID. You can then use the credit to purchase any digital Apple product or service, such as:

  • apps
  • music
  • movies
  • TV shows
  • iCloud+

You can use your iTunes code on the following Apple platforms:

  • Apple App Store
  • Apple Arcade
  • Apple Music
  • Apple TV+
  • iTunes
  • Apple One
  • Apple Fitness+
  • Apple iCloud+
  • Apple News+
  • Apple Books

You can't use your Apple account balance to:

  • Send gifts or gift cards.
  • Start certain subscriptions in certain countries (you can check the restrictions on the dedicated Apple support page).
  • Pay for recurring subscriptions unless another valid payment method is linked.

Where can I buy an iTunes code?

You can buy iTunes codes only from Apple or official retailers like Startselect.

  • Physical iTunes card codes are available in Apple Stores or stores like REWE, Lidl, and Saturn.
  • Digital iTunes gift card codes can be purchased via Apple’s website, the App Store, or certified sellers like Startselect.
