To redeem an Apple Gift Card on an iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, tap your account icon, choose Redeem Gift Card or Code (or Redeem Code), then scan or manually enter the code. App promo codes and in-app offer codes use related redemption paths, but they grant app access or an offer—not Apple Account balance.

How do I redeem an Apple Gift Card on my iPhone or iPad?

Apple’s instructions cover Apple Gift Cards, App Store Cards, and App Store & iTunes Gift Cards. The App Store method works on both iPhone and iPad. You’ll need the card’s code; Apple describes it as a 16-digit code. Apple Support: Redeem your Apple Gift Card

  1. Open the App Store.
  2. Tap the account button, your photo, or your initials.
  3. Tap Redeem Gift Card or Code. Depending on the interface, the option may appear as Redeem Code.
  4. Sign in to your Apple Account if prompted.
  5. To scan the code, tap Use Camera and follow the prompts. To type it instead, tap Enter Code Manually.
  6. Tap Redeem.

The amount is added to your Apple Account balance. Apple says that balance can pay for apps, games, in-app purchases, and subscriptions such as Apple Music and iCloud+. Some purchases may still require a credit card on file.

Can I redeem a gift card in Wallet?

On supported iPhones, Wallet offers another route: add an Apple Account card to Wallet, open Wallet, tap Apple Account, tap More, then tap Redeem. Scan the code or enter it manually. Apple notes that Wallet and Apple Account balance features vary by country or region. Apple Support: Add your Apple Account card to Wallet

Where do I enter an app promo code?

Start in the App Store account page: tap your account icon, photo, or initials, then choose Redeem Gift Card or Code or Redeem Code. If the developer gave you a redemption link, tapping it may open the relevant redemption flow. If the app supports StoreKit offer-code redemption, you may be able to enter the code in an in-app redemption sheet. Labels and prompts can differ by iOS or iPadOS version and by how the developer implemented redemption.

App promo codes

An app promo code is issued by a developer and can provide a free copy of an iOS, macOS, or tvOS app; it does not add money to your Apple Account. Apple’s App Store Connect documentation says each app promo code can be used once and is valid for four weeks from the date it is generated. Apple Developer: Offer codes overview

In-app purchase offer codes

An in-app purchase offer code can provide a discount or free access for a configured period. Depending on the developer’s setup, it may apply to consumables, non-consumables, non-renewing subscriptions, or auto-renewable subscriptions. Customers can redeem through the App Store, a developer-provided redemption URL, or an in-app StoreKit redemption sheet if the app supports it. Apple Developer: Offer codes overview

Developers configure who can use an offer and may limit its availability, so a code can be restricted to a particular customer group. Apple documents a maximum of 1,000,000 offer-code redemptions per app per quarter. Apple Developer: Set up offer codes

What is the difference between a gift card, app promo code, and offer code?

Code type What it provides Where to start Validity or eligibility
Apple Gift Card or App Store card Apple Account balance for eligible purchases App Store account page; Wallet redemption is also available on supported iPhones and in supported regions Card availability and balance features depend on country or region. See Apple Support and Wallet support.
App promo code A free copy of a specific app App Store code redemption flow Single-use and valid for four weeks from generation, according to Apple Developer.
In-app purchase offer code A configured discount or free access to an in-app purchase or subscription App Store, developer redemption URL, or supported in-app redemption sheet Eligibility and limits are set by the developer; see Apple Developer.

Why can’t I find “Redeem Gift Card or Code” or redeem my code?

  • The redeem option is missing: Sign in to your Apple Account, then check whether the card is supported in the App Store region associated with your account.
  • The camera won’t scan the code: Choose Enter Code Manually and check each character carefully.
  • An app promo or offer code is rejected: It may be expired, already used, limited to a different eligibility group, or for an app unavailable in your storefront. Developers control offer eligibility and configuration, as described in Apple’s offer-code setup documentation.
  • The code opens the wrong place: Use the App Store account page for a standard redemption attempt. If the developer supplied a redemption URL or the app supports an in-app offer sheet, use that route for the developer’s offer.
