It's just a few days before Christmas and Amazon is back with the latest discount on App Store and iTunes gift cards, this time marking down both physical and digital versions worth over $100 by 15 percent for United States customers. The best deal here is for the $100 card, which you can get for $85 in a physical copy, and early access is available now if you have a Prime membership. This is a lightning deal so it will disappear fast.

would i be able to buy this and use on a UK account?

Similar question. I want to get one for someone who lives in another country. Old answers online seem to indicate that that won’t work— it would only be good for the US store. Any indication that that has changed in recent years?

The answer to both questions is "no." Source: I actually bought mine on amazon dot com and the card would not work on the Canadian iTunes store. I'm currently on the phone with Amazon dot com to try and recover my money. What a waste of time.

On a side note: if anyone knows of a Canadian distributor who offers iTunes card at a discount, please hit me up.

Aaaandd.. after fighting this charge with Amazon and then again with Apple (to no avail) I finally went back to Amazon. I guess they were satisfied with my efforts and have now processed a refund for me.

Costco Canada has comparable if not better deals for iTunes gift cards.

You can check out various resellers of gift cards at a discount, conduct a search. I prefer not to provide specific names even though I am not affiliated to any of them. :)

My person isn’t in Canada. He’s in Malta/Italy. So it’s a little tougher.

Contact your CC company for wrongful advertising and complete a chargeback and/or investigation. Not much effort if the charge occurred between 24-72hrs.

Thanks @code-m - that would have been my next step if Amazon hadn't just outright decided to refund my money. On reflection, I think they must have some sort of "look, just give him the money and shut him up" policy, put in place for problematic customers. Doesn't matter. They've sent the refund so everything's good.

P.S. thank you for the recommendation of Costco Canada. I'm not a member there yet but once I am, I'll check out their iTunes cards.
