I purchased a gift card yesterday, after entering the code it says the money is remaining on the card. It is locked. How can you help me resolving this?

Hi Kcpraiz,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you've purchased a Gift Card but you're unable to redeem it, is that right?


If so, check out the steps you can take to help isolate this behavior further here: If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card

You might need to provide:


•An image of the full front and back of your card.


•A sales receipt showing when your card was purchased.


•The serial number from your card. 


Find your serial number


The serial number is not the same thing as the code that begins with "X" that you use to redeem the card. Serial numbers are located on the back of your card. Here are some examples of where you might see the serial number:


Gift card with serial number centered below the bar code.


Serial number begins with "GCA"


Gift card with serial number at bottom right.


Serial number begins with "60"


Gift card with serial number above the bar code.


Serial number begins with "60" (Australia Gift Cards)





Gift card with serial number at bottom left.


Serial number begins with "PBH"


Gift card with serial number at bottom left.


Serial number begins with "EPY"



We hope this helps.


Take care!
