Q: E-gift card not valid for my country :(

I received an e-gift card from my nephew. When I tried to redeem it said it must be "redeemed in the US storefront" - So I tried to change to the US storefront and it said my Apple ID is only valid for NZ!!

HOW CAN I REDEEM my gift card please??? I don't want to create another AppleID

You cannot redeem a gift card from another country at all.
GIft cards are country specific.

You can ONLY use a U.S gift card if you are located in the U.S a nd have a U.S account. The same is true of each countries itunes stores.
