How to add an emailed Apple e-gift card?

This is driving me crazy. I received credit with a gift card emailed to me. It says i can use it in the Apple Store, and also the ITunes & App stores....

I understand how to add wallets and have one for my Apple gift card, Apple Store with the credit, but How can i add the funds into my App Store & ITunes account (wallet) which I also have.


I try to add gift card for funds but it always asks for the PIN. Well it was emailed credit so I can’t scratch off to get the PIN. I tried several times to manually type in the card numbers it does?


I want the funds into my Apps & ITunes account so when I have reoccurring payments due or buy new app. This way it uses my credit. Right now it’s just sitting there and I’m wasting money daily from my bank account...


I hope this makes sense!? It’s been very frustrating not being able to figure out.
