Q: Checking balance on iTunes gift card

Log into the iTunes Store using the account under which you redeemed the card and your balance will be shown at the upper-right next to your account ID.

Regards.

How do I check the balance on my iTunes gift card

iTunes gift cards do not have a "balance." 

If the card has not been redeemed, it is worth the stated face value. 

Once it is redeemed, the card is worth zero, and the balance is in your account.

How to check to see if you have "redeemed" it without actually "redeeming" it? I think that is why the question of checking the balance on a card. Thank you

Sorry, but there is no way to check to see if a card has been redeemed other than by attempting to redeem it.

Thanks.

seems like ios7 doesnt allow us to check the balance of our itunes gift card. i want to make some purchases!

I have just redeemed an iTunes $30 gift card and did not get the face value into my account. $25.51 landed in my account, $4.49 has gone missing. Opening balance $20, closing balance $45.51

There is actually a link to check your gift card balance:

https://secure2.store.apple.com/us/giftcard/balance

However I just tried it with a new $15 card (scratched just now), and it claimed that the PIN was invalid. I copy-pasted the PIN to iTunes' redeem feature, and it worked right away.

So your mileage may vary...

That is for Apple Store gift cards (which can only be used in the Apple online store and their bricks-and-mortar stores), it won't work with iTunes gift cards

yes this is rediculuse each time I must call itunes to confirm if card was redeemed or not.

Look up the Support contact # from below link. For US - 1-800-275-2273

Explain the issue, and they will connect you to iTunes support center.

Associate here can look up the value on the card and if it has been activated or not, when you provide the PBHxxxxx or GCAxxxx at the left bottom of the card.
