These are not Apple Store gift cards, they're Apple App Store gift cards
I use apple devices all the time, but I wasn't overly familiar with Apple gift cards. I typed in "Apple store gift cards" into Amazon, and it showed me this. I bought it as a gift. It turns out the person wanted "Apple store gift cards" (as I typed in), but these are "Apple App Store & iTunes gift cards). I didn't realize there was a difference. I figured it's the same company, how could there be two separate ones? Surely they are interchangeable or convertible. WRONG! They definitely CANNOT be used interchangeably. I contacted support to see if I could do something to fix this (I read in forums of people converting them over via Apple support). So I did all the stuff the support site said to do, submitted the request. Then they got back to me and said since I bought them from Amazon, not directly from Apple, there was no way for them to convert them over for me. So I'm stuck with $250 dollars of app store and itunes credit and the person I bought these for (and myself) rarely ever buy anything from that. So yay! Flushing money down the toilet! And for reference, you CAN use xbox and microsoft store gift cards interchangeably. And no, I'm not an xbox/ms fanboy. I like apple devices, but this situation is bs.<br /><br />If you want to avoid all this bs, read up on the difference between apple store and apple app store gift cards and buy them directly from Apple or don't buy them at all. Don't buy them on Amazon because it limits your recourse if something goes wrong as I learned the hard way.<br /><br />I consider myself pretty knowledge on most digital matters, but I failed on this one. I pity the poor grandparent or other less-knowledgeable individual that has to deal with this. Two thumbs down.
