Buy an App Store & iTunes Gift Card for the UAE

Ferdousur RahmanSep 29, 20264 min read97 views

The UAE App Store & iTunes gift card is a code carrying a face value in dirhams, and this listing holds 17 of them, 50 to 5,000. Here is what the ladder contains today, which storefront the code belongs to, what Apple Account balance can pay for, and the redemption steps Apple itself publishes.

An App Store & iTunes gift card for the UAE is a prepaid code rather than a plastic card: it carries a face value in dirhams, and once redeemed the amount becomes Apple Account balance. The UAE page of the family holds 17 face values, 50 to 5,000, delivered as a code minutes after payment. Nothing in the purchase asks for an Apple Account password — you redeem the code yourself.

The ladder is weighted towards mid-sized denominations: the 50 to 500 dirham steps cover a game or a month of subscriptions, and 750 to 5,000 dirhams is a balance meant to last.

Which Country This Card Is For

This listing is the UAE page of the family: seventeen face values in UAE dirhams, and it is the only listing here priced that way. Nothing else in the catalogue is denominated the same, which is why this card is not interchangeable with a dollar, euro or riyal card. Apple issues it for the UAE storefront, and the code redeems on an Apple Account whose country or region is the UAE.

Apple's rule is short: a gift card cannot be redeemed outside the country or region of purchase. Apple describes the symptom as the message Code must be redeemed in a different country or region.

What the Balance Pays For

Apps, games and in-app purchases from the App Store.
Music, films and more from the iTunes Store, the Apple TV app or Apple Books.
Subscriptions such as Apple Music, Apple Arcade and Apple TV, plus app subscriptions.
iCloud+, Apple's premium cloud subscription.

Two limits: some purchases still need a credit card on file, and Family Sharing members cannot spend your balance — it is yours alone.

How to Redeem

Find the 16-digit code that begins with X — on a physical card it sits under the peel-off or scratch-off label.
Open the App Store, tap your photo, your initials or the My Account button, then tap Redeem Code. You may be asked to sign in.
Tap Use Camera, or Enter Code Manually if the camera will not read the code. On a Mac, click your name in the App Store sidebar and choose Redeem Code.
Confirm and tap or click Redeem — the balance lands on your Apple Account and shows in your account details.

Delivery

The code is digital: it appears on your order page and in your inbox automatically once payment is confirmed, normally within minutes, and nothing is shipped. What arrives is a 16-digit code for the UAE App Store in dirhams. If anything looks wrong with it, message live chat with the order number and the exact message on your screen.

Before You Buy

The account's country or region has to be the UAE, because Apple checks the storefront at redemption.
A gift card cannot be redeemed outside the country or region of purchase — that is Apple's rule, not ours.
If Apple answers that the card has already been redeemed, sign out of the App Store on all devices and sign back in to refresh the balance view.
If it answers that the card is not activated, the code was not activated by the seller — that is a retailer problem, not an account problem.

One Apple detail worth having before you order: the redemption code is the 16-digit number beginning with X, not another number printed on the card, and Apple does not sell gift cards in every country or region — which is why this family carries a separate listing per storefront rather than one card for everyone.
