I do not think that you can use those gift cards to purchase an iphone 6. They are usually just for app and itunes stores. Also I do not think they expire. I have been using the same 100 dollar gift card for about a year and half and it still has money on it.
i'm happy to use my gift card for Applecare after the original purchase. I was going to put it in the cart with an iMac but this is fine too.
I think you are wrong, there is two different kind of gift cards from apple, one kind is itunes cards, and another kind is apple gift cards, thats avaiable for anything from apple store or apple online store.
Please someone confirm that please.
Will these gift cards be Apple Store gift cards or iTunes gift cards?

If you are within your return period of these items will Apple still give the gift card?
So, if I buy say an iMac, I get a gift card I can't use right away, but rather have to spend at Apple at a second occasion?
Quite crappy offer if you ask me. Sure, it's a bit more value than before, but would rather have had to discount up front.

I'd also like to know. I would at least be able to use an iTunes gift card. $75 at the apple store doesn't go very far...
This black Friday thing has been a huge fiasco for me. Tried to upgrade to a 32gb air for cheap so I returned my 16gb version. After a couple false starts I bought from staples but it is stuck processing and based on others experiences they may have sold more than they actually had in stock so who knows if I'll actually get it. I was hoping to have Apple as a backup in case that fell through but now that is a bust. Does anyone know if best buy is offering the $50 discount on the higher storage models? Sigh...

Yeah, I highly doubt these gift cards will be for purchasing hardware. They are usually for the App stores. Which is fine by me, but I think a lot of people have different expectations.

Come on, Apple!
I'd prefer a straight $500.00 off the top!
Give it to me!
Wrong: the AU site clearly says Apple Store Gift Card, not iTunes Gift Card.

Just buy iTunes cards using the gift card. You have your choice of which kind of card, in a sense.

Apple Store Gift Cards can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store, or over the phone
It basically means that you need to buy two things to benefit from the "discount." Black Friday was the one day a year that you could officially buy something from an Apple Store at less than MSRP. Now you can, but only if you make a second stop.
So you would have shopped there had Apple given you its usual 5% off (much less than other retailers) but because they increased it to 10-15% and made it a gift card which you can use for apps and content you are no longer interested? Your logic eludes me.Agree. One less stop to make tomorrow.

From Apple's website, store gift cards cannot be used to purchase iTunes Gift Cards.
Apple Store Gift Cards can be redeemed for most items on the Apple Online Store, including iPhone, iPhone accessories, and all things Mac, iPad, and iPod.
NOTE: Apple Store Gift Cards cannot be used to purchase another Apple Store Gift Card, an iTunes Gift Card, an iTunes Gift Certificate, Apple Print Products, or for purchases at the iTunes Store
