Online payment method.

Hello, I was about to redeem some credit card points for an Apple gift card since I am interested in getting a MacBook Air.


I added everything to my cart to see what the total would be and at check out there is a statement at the bottom that states, “You can use up to 8 Apple Gift Cards. Apple Gift Cards can't be used with Apple Pay, PayPal or split credit card payments.”


Does that mean I cannot use a gift card AND credit card to pay for an order online? I’m using the online website and not the app if that matters.

Just looking for clarification before I even get the gift card since I don’t have an Apple store near me.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Using more than one payment method

You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and gift cards:


Credit card(s) - up to two

Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight

Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight + one credit card

Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight + Apple Account Balance

Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight + Apple Account Balance + one credit card

Apple Account Balance + one credit card

Apple Gift Cards and Apple Account Balance cannot be used with Apple Pay, PayPal, or split credit card payments.


In this instance, it looks like you're wanting to use a gift card and a credit card. That looks like it would be allowed. Make sure that the card you get is an Apple Gift Card, and not an iTunes. Learn more here:

Cheers!
