How to add an Apple Digital Gift Card to my Apple ID Payment Methods?

How do I add an Apple Digital Gift Card to my Apple ID Payment Methods, using an Apple Gift card I received as a gift? I would like to be able to use to pay for an upgrade to my iCloud storage, which of course is paid for per month. Right now I do not see how to add that to my Apple ID payment methods as a gift card credit. I think my question makes sense. Has anyone here already done this and can you please explain to me the detail of How?

Hello inahut,


We see you're coming from the If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store page. Here's a resource that will show you How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card. We've also listed the steps here for convenience:


1. Find the 16-digit code on the back of the card. For some gift cards, you might need to peel or gently scratch off the label to see the code.
2. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, open the App Store app.
3. At the top of the screen, tap the sign-in button  or your photo.
4. Tap Redeem Gift Card or Code. If you don’t see Redeem Gift Card or Code, sign in with your Apple ID.
5. Tap Use Camera and follow the instructions on the screen. If you have trouble redeeming the card, tap Enter Code Manually, then follow the instructions on the screen.
6. Tap Done.



Keep in mind that the same does not apply for Apple Store gift cards. Those need to be used at an Apple Store or the Apple Online Store. We hope this helps.


Take care.
