European iTunes Card with a U.S. account

I'm from the U.S. but I travel a lot & have friends overseas. I just got as a gift an iTunes card worth 25€ (euros) but my account is tied to my U.S. credit card and, of course, I therefore pay for all my stuff in U.S. dollars. Will the 25€ be somehow converted to its value in USD or will it somehow mean I pay European prices for purchases? What are the caveats here?

If needed, I can sell this gift card here & use the money to buy a U.S. card.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry, but an iTunes card cannot be used outside of its country of sale, so a European iTunes card cannot be used with a US iTunes Store account. You'll need to sell the card and buy a US iTunes Card.

Regards.

Great, thanks. I was too scared to punch in the code to redeem the card on my account, for fear it might somehow convert my account to European or something.
