Used iTunes gift Cards I purchased this afternoon 2 iTunes gift cards to send to someone for their birthday via email. I took pictures with my iPhone with receipts and back for pin number and sent to my laptop to send via e-mail. When they tried to use them, it told them they were used. I checked to see if the amount was mistakenly added to my id and I don't show a balance. Please advise.

Gift Card Deception I ordered an iphone SE on Black Friday by selecting the gift card option, then purchasing the iphone. I did not receive the $50 gift card and contacted Apple. After hours of trying to get to the bottom of it with Apple, they are saying it only applies to unlocked iphones. Yet, the Apple website clearly states that all iphones are unlocked when buying from Apple. It seems obvious that this gift card offer is extremely and intentionally deceptive. I've been an iphone fan and owner since the original iphone was introduced and a Mac fan for even longer. But I feel they've become greedy and there are better options from more ethical companies. I think I'm done with Apple.
