An iTunes card is a gift card used in iTunes Store to purchase and download apps, subscriptions, and more. Before using the card, one should have a clear idea of two steps: one is activation, and the other one is redeeming. Once the card is redeemed, you can throw it away as these cards are not reusable or reloadable. You can use iTunes gift cards to subscribe to Apple Music and other Apple-related services. The card is available as a physical card, and digital codes are delivered via email. You can activate iTunes Card on iOS, desktop, and Android devices.
