I received both electronic and hard copy gift cards from the Apple Store. I was easily able to put the electronic ones in the Wallet, but cannot figure out how to do the same with the hard copy ones. Any suggestions?
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4
Here's how I got it to work for me today:
I'll also mention that I tried this a bunch of times and I'd get the message to open Safari but it would just go to the Apple.com web site with no information about the gift card. Then, on a whim, I turned the phone off then back on and tried it and it worked. The world works in mysterious ways. . .
(iPhone 7 with the iOS 11.2 Public beta 2)
You would think Apple would make it super easy to add one of its own gift cards to the iPhone. The instructions do not work for me either. Specifically, the wallet will not scan the QCR code. Perhaps they don't want customers to use the card in hopes they will lose it.
Restarting did the trick for me as well!
Thanks. It was worth the $5.00 to make the app work.
Worked on first try following your instructions. Thank you.
Holy geez that should be easier and way more intuitive. Very in-Apple.
Hi Fran,
I have the problem with electronic e-cards. I am using iPhone 6+ there under wallet I have used + and took the picture and have no issues. Can you/anyone guide me for electronic cards?
I am experiencing the same issue - I cannot add the gc using either add a card or add a pass. The instructions on the gift card and online do not work.
Unfortunately that did not work as the scanned code came up with the message "No Pass Available for This Code," on two different Apple Store Gift cards.
I quit the Wallet app and even turned the phone off and then on to see this would have any effect to no avail.
I just realized that perhaps this could be an IOS 10 beta issue. IOS 10 beta 5 was just delivered, so I will install that and try again. If is does not work, I will look for another pass card to see if it can be added to Wallet. I will come back and provide the results whether positive or negative.
Thank you!
I still get the same error "No Pass Available for This Code" under the most recent version of IOS 10 beta. I don't know if it is the IOS or something else that is preventing the cards from being read.
You need to scratch off the gray film to the left of the letter pin code to uncover the square QRS code. That will be read by the Wallet App "Pass" camera. The card value will subsequently be recognized and added to your wallet!
This solution isnt working for me, either. Latest IOS release on iPhone 7 W Wallet and comes up with the same error as described by Fran.
Same problem as Fran. Arrrgh!!!
Anyone figure this issue out yet? I was able to scan two gift cards a few months ago but now I can't add any.
I am having the same problem. I've been on (and still on speakerphone) with Apple Support. They have no idea what's wrong or what the issue is.
Glad to see it's not just me doing something wrong. Please let me know what you find out. Happy New Year!
