    Hi there

    can an iTunes giftcard purchased here be used on a laptop and Iphone from Spain or does it make any difference where its from? Our Spanish student has an Itunes card but thinks it won't work on her laptop.

    thanks in advance

    The giftcard will work on the Irish iTunes store, because it was purchased in Ireland.

    If the spanish student has a Spanish iTunes store account, the Irish-bought giftcard won’t work. I’m not sure if he/she would lose the credit, but it’s probably not worth the hassle to find out what would happen.

    It’s possible to move your AppleID to another county’s iTunes store, but it’s designed for use by people who have moved to another country in the long-term, and I’m not sure whether there is a limit to the number of times you can move countries.

    Best solution is for a member of the student’s family to buy a giftcard in Spain, and email the code to him/her.

    Type 17 thanks for the helpful reply, after much faffing around we discovered basically what you have said so we cannot use the Itunes card. I'm trying to download something free from the iTunes store at the moment and see if it will go onto her Spanish iPhone. If that works then I will redeem the card on my own account and let her use it for her own stuff. Alternatley I will get her parents to send a code as you have suggested.

    thanks
