First you need iTunes, which you can download here if you don't have it already: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/


Run iTunes, and click iTunes Store about half way down on the left bar. When the Store appears, look on the top right under quick links and click Redeem. Enter the code from the back of the gift card, under the scratch off panel.

On your iPhone or iPod Touch, open up your iTunes app (the purple one with the white music note).


Tap "Music" on the bottom of your screen.


Scroll down all the way to the bottom of the page and tap "Redeem"


Enter in the code on the back of the gift card that you scratched off.


Once your code is entered, tap "Done" (top of the page)


The gift card balance should now be applied to your iTunes account 🙂


(To check, go into your "Settings" app, scroll down to and tap "Store", then tap "View Apple ID", enter your password if prompted, and you should see your balance on the top of the page)


You should not need to register a new username to do this.

If you already have an iTunes Store account, please follow these instructions to redeem your iTunes Gift Card.

1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website at:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.

2) Click this link to launch iTunes and be taken to the Gift Card redemption page:

https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/redeemLandingPage

3) Enter the 16-digit activation code beginning with "X" and click the Redeem button.

4) To complete this process, click Redeem Prepaid Card.

Once your Gift Card is successfully redeemed, your store credit will appear next to your account name. Each time you make a purchase, funds will be deducted from the credit until the credit is used up. If you run over the credit amount, iTunes will ask you to enter a credit card number. You do not need to redeem your Gift Card again when you want to make another purchase.

Alternatively, if you have not yet set up an iTunes Store account, follow these steps to redeem your iTunes Gift Card:

1) Download and install the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version free-of-charge from the Apple website at:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

2) Open iTunes.

3) To ensure you are signed out of the iTunes Store, from the Store menu, choose "Sign Out" if it is present. If you see "Sign In" as an option instead, continue to the next step.

4) Click this link to launch iTunes and be taken to the Gift Card redemption page:

https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/prepaidWizard

5) Enter the 16-digit activation code beginning with "X" and click the Redeem button.

6) Now you will be able to create an account. While setting up your new account, you will have the option to enter your credit card information. If you do not wish to enter a credit card number, click the None button on the Payment screen.

I got this answer when I asked iTunes Store Suport advisors when I have the same inquiry.
