Yes, you can redeem an iTunes gift card (also called App Store & iTunes gift card) in China, but there are important requirements. The card must be issued for the China (CN) App Store region. Gift cards bought from other regions (e.g., US, UK) will not work on a Chinese Apple ID unless you change your App Store region – which is not recommended because you may lose access to Chinese apps and payment methods.
If you have a CN-based Apple ID, simply follow the steps below. You need a stable internet connection and the latest version of iOS, macOS, or iTunes. At DCPGAME, we provide genuine CN iTunes gift cards with instant delivery – no waiting, no scams.
1. Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad (not the iTunes Store app, which is discontinued).
2. Tap your profile icon (top right) or your avatar.
3. Tap "Redeem Gift Card or Code". If you don’t see it, tap your name/Apple ID and scroll down.
4. Use your camera to scan the code printed on the card, or tap "Enter Code Manually" to type the 16-digit code.
5. Tap "Redeem" and wait for the confirmation. The credit will be added to your Apple ID balance instantly.
6. The redeemed amount is now available for purchases in the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Music, iCloud+, and more.
Troubleshooting: If you get an error like "This code is not yet activated," wait a few minutes and try again. If you see "Cannot connect to iTunes Store," check your Wi‑Fi or cellular data settings.
1. Open the App Store app on your Mac (Big Sur or later). If you use an older macOS, open iTunes for redemptions.
2. Click your name or the profile button in the bottom-left corner.
3. Click "Redeem Gift Card."
4. Enter the code manually or use the camera (supported on newer Macs).
5. Click "Redeem" and verify your Apple ID password if prompted.
6. The balance updates immediately. You can view it in your account settings under "Account Info" > "Apple ID Balance."
1. Open iTunes on your Windows PC. Ensure you are signed in with your China App Store Apple ID.
2. From the top menu bar, choose Account > Redeem.
3. Enter the 16-digit code carefully (dashes may be optional).
4. Click "Redeem" and enter your Apple ID password if asked.
5. Your credit will appear in the top-right corner. You can now buy apps, music, or in-app purchases.

Buy now →No. iTunes gift cards are region-locked. A US gift card can only be redeemed on a US Apple ID. To use it in China, you would need to change your Apple ID region to the US, which may break access to Chinese apps and payment methods. It's much easier to buy a CN-specific gift card.
First double-check the code for typos. If the error says 'not yet activated,' wait 10–15 minutes and try again. If you see 'invalid region,' confirm that both the gift card and your Apple ID are for the China store. If you bought from a seller, contact their support; at DCPGAME we replace defective codes quickly.
In most cases, no – you can redeem a gift card without adding a payment method. However, Apple may sometimes ask you to add a valid payment method (like Alipay or a Chinese credit card) to 'verify' your account, especially if it doesn't have an existing one. You can add it without making a purchase.
Yes. You can redeem multiple gift cards on the same Apple ID, and the balances will accumulate. There is no limit on how many cards you can redeem, but each code can only be used once.
On iPhone/iPad: go to Settings > [your name] > Media & Purchases > View Account > scroll to Apple ID Balance. On Mac: App Store > click your name > Account Info > Apple ID Balance. On Windows iTunes: Account > View My Account > Apple ID Balance.
You can buy apps, games, in-app purchases, Apple Music subscriptions, iCloud+ storage, iTunes movies and TV shows, Apple Books, and more – everything that uses your Apple ID balance. It cannot be used for physical goods or services outside the Apple ecosystem.
