Feb 27, 2014 9:49 AM in response to mjprzyby NacaciaBO,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.

Feb 27, 2014 9:54 AM in response to klhendersonby NacaciaBO,If you have any difficulties redeeming the gift code and would like to know the exact code for you, please consult or report it to iTunes Store Support to give you code. Make sure to provide the following numbers from your gift card so that they can check it through their system:
- One number that you may see is the GCA number. It starts with "GCA" and is followed by 8 or 13 digits. (Example: GCA12345678 or GCA 0000123456789)
- A different number you may see starts with PBH followed by a 6 and either 19 or 22 digits. (Example: PBH6123456789123456789 or PBH6123456789123456789012)
- Another number that may appear begins with a 6, is 16 digits long, and has a space every 4 digits. (Example: 1234 5678 9123 4567)
With this information, they'll provide you the exact code so that you may enjoy the iTunes Store and the credit from your iTunes Gift Card.

They ask me for this information when I have the same issue and contacted iTunes Store Support via email.
