Can you use a APPLE gift certificate for iTunes music store?

I know that you can use an iTunes gift card but can you also use an Apple gift card?

I don't know if you can use it directly, but I bet you can use an Apple Gift card to buy iTunes gift cards.

Sorry, but no, you can't. Apple gift cards cannot be used in the iTunes Store and vice-versa. But as PT suggested, you can use the Apple gift card to buy iTunes prepaid cards.

As said before, you can't use an Apple gift card to get songs AND you can't use and Apple gift card to buy and iTunes gift card.

DWillmore is wrong - You CAN use an Apple Gift Card to buy an iTunes Gift Card...and then you can redeem the iTunes Gift Card on your iTunes Account.

Here is what apple says in regard to purchasing a gift card with a giftcard. And this is directly from their "About Payment Methods" box. "Please Note: If your order includes and Apple Gift Card or an iTunes Music Store Gift Certificate, you cannot pay using and Apple Gift card. You must use another payment method instead." If you doubt me, go to "check out" and click on about payment methods.

There's a difference between an iTunes gift certificate and an iTunes gift card. The Apple Gift Card FAQ specifically says:

" Can I use the Apple Gift Card to purchase an iTunes Music Store Gift Card? What about an iTunes Music Store electronic gift certificate?"

"Apple Gift Cards can be used to purchase an iTunes Music Store Gift Card. However, Apple Gift Cards can't be used to purchase iTunes Music Store electronic gift certificates."

Thats weird. I've tried to buy iTunes Store Gift Cards at the Apple Stores (retail) and told that you can't buy iTunes gift cards with Apple gift cards.
