About iTunes gift cards

An iTunes label describes a particular card family

Many listings still use the iTunes name for App Store and iTunes gift cards. Apple's redemption instructions continue to cover these cards alongside current Apple Gift Cards and App Store Cards. Start with the exact product description rather than assuming that every older label represents a new unified card. Keep its issuing country and native denomination visible when comparing variants. This is particularly useful when a catalog contains both Apple and iTunes entries that appear to have the same price but may describe different card families.
