When I received an Apple gift card for the first time, I had no idea how to use it. I had to give up on the card for weeks since I thought it would be challenging. I required assistance using the gift card, Apple Wallet, and Apple Pay because I had only recently started using an iPhone.
It took me a while to figure out that the Wallet app allows you to store credit card information, including transit, gift, and credit/debit cards. The setup process is also rather simple. You can safely make purchases on Apple.com and the Apple Store in the interim with Apple Pay.
The only way to actually add an Apple gift card to an Apple wallet is to redeem it for an Apple account; this isn’t possible for other gift cards like Visa and Mastercard.
This article’s goal is to provide you with instructions on how to redeem an Apple gift card on your Apple account and add additional gift cards to your Apple wallet.
5 Easy Steps to Add a Gift Card to Apple Wallet
It’s important to distinguish between adding a gift card to your Apple wallet and redeeming an Apple gift card; these are two distinct but related processes. When you make purchases or sell an Apple gift card, the money is initially added to your account credit, or your Apple ID balance, before you can redeem it.
When you add a gift card to your Apple Wallet, it becomes part of your digital wallet, just like your credit or debit cards, enabling you to use Apple Pay to safely make purchases on websites, apps, and retail locations that accept it.
The methods to add Visa and Mastercard gift cards to your Apple wallet are as follows, as adding an Apple gift card to your Apple wallet is not possible:
- First, open the Wallet app on your iPhone
- Tap the “+” button on your screen
- Choose the “Debit or Credit Card” option.
- Tap “Add Debit Card”
- Follow the instructions to add a new card.
