iTunes Gift Card Not Working

Could you give more specific information, instead of saying "none of them worked"? For example, how did you try to redeem them? Did you get any error codes or messages when you tried to redeem them? The more SPECIFIC information you post, the better the chance there is that someone can help you.

I purchased an iPOD nano for a co-worker who has cancer. I thought it would be a nice gift while going through chemo. So..here I am at home, trying to get some stuff downloaded onto it with a itunes card. It's not working..meaning it saying, "The code you entered is not recognized as a valid code". I even tried a gift card I received for Christmas with the same results. Hmm..since Tuggernet is also trying her card today, maybe they are having technical difficulties? I have 2 versions of a gift card. One is an actual plastic card that can be removed from the cardboard. The other is one attached to a cardboard/paper deal that you have to tear off. I sent what I thought would be the card serial number for the removable plastic card. It doesn't recognize it. I was able to send the card serial number for the one attached to the cardboard/plastic. This is the first time I've used a gift card and I hope it's just a fluke them not working. What's the next step?

Does this page contain anything useful?

i too had the same problem today with my $15 itunes card. it said the number was not recognized as a valid code.

I am having the same problem today with a $25 card purchased from an at&t store.

I wonder if there is some kind of computer problem with the cards today...

make sure if you have what looks like a letter O, it is actually a number 0 (zero), itunes is very good at confusing people like this

I am having the exact same trouble with two separate cards received as gifts. One $25 and one $15. Seems like the cards are not working.

I too did the exact same thing and got the exact same messages. Is there a solution yet?

I tried using some gifts cards I have, but they don't work either. What is up?

I just bought 4 $50 itunes cards from a grocery store and all 4 say "invalid code". I've already e-mailed customer service but I'm glad to hear it's not just me. Sounds like maybe something on Apple's end is not working right.

Yeah, I was kind of ticked when I thought it was just my card that was bad. I'll just wait to try again later.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I just purchased a 50 dollar gift card and guess what, it doesn't friggin' work.

I'm having the same problem, and I typed it in with every possible combination I could think of that would fit the code on the card. (my code had a lot of "B's" in it, which, could be "8's")
I will say I've NEVER had a problem with a code before, so I generally know what I'm reading and typing.

I bought this one in dec. @ a Target.

Something must be wonky, I did update itunes today. I'm sure Apple will get it taken care of.

Am also having the same problem today. Was really looking forward to downloading the new Mars Volta, but my card won't work. At least I'm not the only one.
