If you are an Apple user you can send an Apple Store gift card to anyone who uses a brand device. In this article I am going to show you how to do it, since it is a very common resource on many occasions.
What is an Apple Store gift card?
It is a digital product that allows you to send an amount of money that you decide so that whoever receives that virtual gift can spend it at Apple. It has the same operation as any card with similar characteristics such as Amazon, Netflix or Google. Even in some stores you can buy them in physical format, recharge it at checkout and hand it to whoever you want.
However, when you send an Apple Store gift card in digital format, that person receives it just at the moment you want, since shipping can be scheduled for the most appropriate date. For example, if you have a birthday in a month and you might miss the date, you can purchase it then and schedule it to ship at the right time. Once you receive it, you can use that balance by purchasing paid applications.
Before sending an Apple Store gift card you must know what that person’s email address is, which usually coincides with Apple ID. Take note to learn how to send an APP Store gift card from your iPhone or iPad.
Send Apple Store gift card
First of all, Locate the Apple Store icon. It is usually on the home screen or in the bottom bar.
You will enter the Apple Store, and You must locate the icon with your profile photo. It is located in the upper right.
Now you must click on “Send gift cards by email.”
The next step is to personalize your card and configure it for the person you want. Here you will have to enter the email of the person who will receive it, in addition to charging an amount. This will be what you receive in the form of a balance and you can use it to buy applications in the Apple store or products. You can also set the date, because if you don’t want to send it immediately, you can schedule it for when it best suits you. You can also put the message you want, I recommend that you be a little more original than me and don’t leave a simple Congratulations!
You now have the option to select a theme, i.e. How is that card going to be presented? Apple gives us the option of sending different possibilities, but it is always the apple logo with different presentations. Choose the one you like the most or the one that the person who receives the card will like the most.
Finally, we will confirm all the data and the moment we press “Buy”, that balance will be subtracted from our payment method, which can be a bank card or PayPal. If shipping is immediate, the recipient will receive it immediately and if, on the other hand, we have scheduled the shipment for a later time, you will receive it on that date.
With that gift card you can buy paid applications, but They can also be used to purchase company products. The balance of a gift card does not expire, which is a big advantage. A card purchased with a Spanish account can only be used in our country. Therefore, be very careful if you want to give a gift to a person who has their iPhone registered elsewhere. There is no doubt that it is a type of gift that always works and is very useful.
