CARD DETAILS

Where to Find the Apple Gift Card Code

Current Apple Gift Cards use a 16-character alphanumeric redemption code. Apple may call this code the card’s PIN, but it is not a separate four-digit PIN.

  • On a physical card, find the 16-character code on the back or card insert; you may need to peel or gently scratch the covered area.
  • For a digital Apple Gift Card, the code or Redeem Now option appears in the delivery email.
  • Do not enter an Apple order number, receipt number, device serial number, or Apple Account verification code.

Redeemed cards work differently

Once the gift card is redeemed, its value becomes part of the Apple Account balance and the original code cannot be used again. Check the account balance instead of repeatedly entering the card code.

COMMON PROBLEMS

Apple Gift Card Balance Troubleshooting

Try these Apple-specific checks before assuming the card has no remaining value.

The card says it was already redeemed

Sign in to the Apple Account that may have received the card and check its balance and purchase history. A redeemed code cannot be applied a second time.

The 16-character code is rejected

Enter the code exactly as shown, check similar-looking letters and numbers, and make sure you are using the redemption code rather than an order or receipt number.

The Apple Account balance is missing

Confirm you are signed in to the correct Apple Account. Sign out and back in, then check the App Store, Apple Music, or Apple TV account screen again.

The card was purchased in another country

Apple Gift Cards are country- or region-specific. A card purchased in Canada must be used with a Canadian Apple Account and Canadian Apple services.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Apple Gift Card Balance FAQ

How do I check an unredeemed Apple Gift Card balance in Canada?

Open Apple’s official gift-card balance support page, follow the balance link, sign in if prompted, and enter the card’s 16-character redemption code or PIN.

How do I check a redeemed Apple Gift Card balance?

After redemption, the value becomes part of your Apple Account balance. On iPhone or iPad, open the App Store and tap your account photo. On Mac, check below your name in the App Store sidebar. On Windows, check Apple Music or Apple TV.

Where is the code on an Apple Gift Card?

Physical cards show a 16-character code on the back or card insert, sometimes beneath a peel-off or scratch-off area. Digital cards provide the code or a Redeem Now button in the delivery email.

Is an Apple Store Gift Card the same as the current Apple Gift Card?

No. The current Apple Gift Card replaced older Apple Store Gift Cards, but remaining value on older cards can still be valid. Legacy cards can have different use restrictions, so follow the instructions printed on the card.

Can I convert an Apple Gift Card to cash in Canada?

GiftCardsForCash may review eligible, unredeemed Apple Gift Cards and provide a non-binding offer when there is current demand. A redeemed Apple Account balance is different from an unused gift card and cannot be represented by the original code.
