iTunes gift card for iCloud storage

Can I redeem an iTunes Gift card for purchasing more storage on iCloud? And if so, how does it handle the fact that the purchase available is deducted on a monthly basis? Does it redeem the chosen amount which it then puts against payment of a certain amount of months usage of say 50GB, which is 0.99c per month? So for arguments sake, it redeems some $12 for a year's usage of 50GB. 😊

Hi Apple 35,

I understand that you're looking to use an iTunes Gift Card to pay for an upgrade to your iCloud Storage. This is, indeed possible, although you'd need to first redeem the iTunes Gift Card to the iTunes Store account that uses the same Apple ID (your iCloud address), as iTunes Store credit is an accepted form of payment for iCloud Storage. Each monthly payment will first utilize existing iTunes Store credit to cover the cost of the subscription.

Accepted payment methods for iCloud storage upgrades include credit cards, debit cards, and iTunes Store credit. If you don't have enough iTunes store credit to complete your upgrade, you'll be charged the remaining amount. Apple Store gift cards aren't accepted as payment for upgrading iCloud storage.
