Apple Account daily limit for gift cards and purchases

Apple Account Balance Daily Limit


I just tried to add several apple gift cards to my Apple Account. When I tried to add cards in excess of $2,000 I was told that $2,000 was the daily limit. Is it safe to assume I will be able to add the additional cards tomorrow?


Also, can I assume the $2,000 daily limit does not apply to purchases?


Thanks

The only thing I can find by Apple is: Payment, Financing, Refunds and VAT - Shopping Help - Apple

which does not mention a limit. On the other hand I have links to 6 other threads through the years where others mention a $2,000 daily limit.


I myself winced when I saw your post. I have also see multiple threads where some people say they have run afoul of Apple's fraud/misuse detection system by trying to make big dollar purchases with gift cards. In theory there is nothing against it but the system might be sensitive. In your position I would to go to an Apple Store in person to make your purchase.
