    Silly questions, how many cards you can use when you trying to purchase a apple product in store?

    • impoze on 31/01/2023 - 13:21

      Don't you just load them up into your apple ID?

      • WookieMonster on 31/01/2023 - 13:26
        +8

        I wouldn't suggest that.

        The commenter is asking how many gift cards you can redeem instore, and you currently cannot redeem an Apple Account Associated Balance instore.

        • impoze on 31/01/2023 - 13:33

          Right, so in store just keep it as is but online add it to apple account?

          • WookieMonster on 31/01/2023 - 13:34
            +5

            @impoze: Yep, you're correct.

            The Apple sales hotline - 133 MAC - also accept Apple Account Associated Balance as a payment method.

            I know Apple in the US has a way for you to redeem an Apple Account Associated Balance instore (via Apple Pay), but it is not available in Australia yet.

          I wouldn't suggest that.

          I wouldn't either. However, less risk of card being hacked.

          In any case, how easy is it for your Apple GCs to be hacked while you hold onto them (i.e. do not assign them to your Account Balance)?

            @DoctorCalculon: Yeah this happened to me recently. Redeemed the cards to my account thinking they could just use that balance instore but they said they can't.

            So instead, they suggested I call Apple Support and try get the balance restored back to the gift cards they came from. Luckily, because I still had the physical gift cards in the bin, they were able to do this and then I went in store to purchase my item using them.

            Long story short - don't redeem the cards to your account if you want to use instore. You can only use the Apple credit online for now.

              @jay889344: Hmm, perhaps you could have just done a click and collect, and used your account balance that way…

              • jay889344 on 01/02/2023 - 11:29

                @JohnSy: Couldn't do…was a postpaid mobile phone sign up in store. You can reserve the phone to complete sign up/purchase of the phone in store, but phone has to be paid for then. Can't be bought before online at the discounted rate

            @DoctorCalculon: I would say you would have to be extremely unlucky if you had an Apple gift card code stolen for you.

            As always with these kinds of discussions, there are two factors to consider:

            • How many theoretical gift card code combinations there are
            • How quickly (and easily) it is to guess-and-check different gift card code combinations

            I will not publicly mention how Apple gift card codes are structured (for obvious reasons), but there are a lot of potential combinations. It would be far more likely for you to win Powerball Div 1 than to have someone randomly guess an Apple gift card code in your possession. I would not say the same about Coles Gift Mastercards or Coles Mastercard gift cards…

            In terms of guessing-and-checking, you only have limited options, including:

            • Using the gift card balance check tool on the Apple website.

            • Attempting to apply a gift card code in the online checkout when purchasing an item.

            • Attempting to apply a gift card code to an Apple account

            All options (at the least the ones I can think of) require you to go through Apple themselves, and require you to either log into an Apple account or provide basic contact information (e.g. name, email address, phone number, address). Obviously, for the latter, you could just put in dummy information, but I would like to think that Apple would move to quickly stop someone from attempting to guess-and-check more than a handful of potential gift card codes.

              @WookieMonster: your gift-card fu is truly next level. And specifically for Apple gift cards, is unmatched in OzBU.

              Thanks for sharing — I don't need to feel like my gift cards are in any imminent danger of being stolen.

    • Pixel Spam on 31/01/2023 - 13:24
      +11

      My advice is if you want to really buy instore, go instore do you research on what you want to buy load all the gift card to your Apple ID then buy online using your credit and collect from store or get it delivered.

      • dione on 31/01/2023 - 14:26

        I an able to input 5 gift card (the rainbow one) when purchasing online to be picked up at store.

          Thats if you redeem them as a regular gift card, you are better off adding the gift cards to your Apple ID first, that way you can use your Balance at check out. TBH I think this is the best thing apple have added giving the ability to use the credit across the entire apple eco system

        Really? I bought the new 12.9 iPad a few weeks ago with a large number of $100/$200 physical gift cards (as $200 was the MAX I could get at my JB) in Apple Chadstone. Definitely more than eight. Maybe staff discretion?

      The comments on this thread are so out of control 💁

      From the Apple website - "You can use up to eight Apple Gift Cards for one transaction at apple.com and the Apple Retail Store."

      • haemolysis on 31/01/2023 - 17:59
        +9

        Well, it’s out of control because so are the Apple rules.

        8 gift cards per transaction. However, unlimited per account balance. So effectively you can load them up in balance, and use it that way, bypassing the limit.

        Similarly, no balance usage in store. But you CAN apply balance to click and collect: in store…

        The “can” and “can not” are pretty blurry with Apple.

    • froddoog on 31/01/2023 - 17:12

      8 cards if I’m not mistaken

    • snvl on 01/02/2023 - 15:37

    • blah-blah on 31/01/2023 - 13:52

      Probably run out quite quickly. If it was 15% as points with max 5 per flybuys card then more chance of stock remaining.
      Either way not making special trip just for $15, but hope is in stock if I happen to go to a Coles during the promo.

    • hindo on 31/01/2023 - 14:33
      +3

      Yeah true but since you can only get the $20 denomination card that’s a lot of running around if say you wanted to get a new phone or computer. Not saying it can’t be done, just a lot more work than the variable loads or higher denomination cards

  • savemore on 31/01/2023 - 13:36

    Hopefully someone can answer this. Can Apple Gift Cards this be used for Netflix / Disney+ subscriptions through iTunes? Can it be for 1 month, or does it have to be for 12 months?
    TIA

    • ayoole on 31/01/2023 - 13:41

      Yes. Once gift cards are loaded into your Apple credit balance, any subscriptions made through your Apple account will automatically debit from your Apple account balance before going to a registered credit card etc.

    • burningrage on 31/01/2023 - 13:42

      I have my Disney+ subs paid for through Itunes credits which I obtained from discounted iTunes gift cards such as this deal. I always had mine set at 12 months auto-renew.

      Keep in mind when Apple releases they tend to use the AUD/USD rate at the time of release to set the price. Now AUD is much higher than when 14 was released so may not see an increase.

    • Nusername on 31/01/2023 - 15:41

        No, it must be under $100. Hence $99.99 is the max but you still get $2 back with $99.99 tap purchase (due to rounding)
