Apple Offering 10% Bonus iTunes Credit When Adding Funds to Your Apple ID

Tuesday May 7, 2019 10:48 am PDT by Mitchel Broussard
Apple has begun offering users the chance to add 10 percent extra credit to their App Store and iTunes accounts this week, similar to past offers from the company. For this deal, you'll have to add money to your Apple ID account from a credit or debit card connected to your account.


To add the funds on your iPhone, visit the App Store, tap your profile picture, and then tap "Add Funds to Apple ID." Here you can choose from $1.00 to $200.00 to add to your account in order to get the 10 percent bonus credit. This means that the most you can get out of the offer is $20 in free iTunes credit when adding $200 to your account.

The promotion will last through Friday, May 10 and is available in the United States as well as other regions, including Japan. With the credit in your iTunes account, you can rent or purchase iTunes movies and TV shows, buy books in Apple Books, pay for your Apple Music or iCloud subscriptions, and much more.

This is a much worse deal than what Costco is currently offering. At Costco, you can pay $168 to get $200 in credit (18% bonus) compared to only 10% with this offer.

If you're looking to buy credit - do it with Costco.

Could they just have one account? Combine Itunes and the Apple store.

That's what I was thinking just another way to confuse the consumer

Thank you for doing that. I've been burned before by mistaking a U.S. deal for a Canadian one. (Not "burned" exactly: I got what I paid for. Problem was I thought I was buying a deal)

Not everyone has Costco's around them. I don't. Plus, you have to pay $60+ for a yearly membership there. Nope.

Target has sales where you can buy $200 for $170 with the Target Red Card.

Same here... and a major reason I never buy "Apple" gift cards as gifts, they really should be universal for iTunes and Store.

It would be like buying a Target Online only and Target Store only gift card. Makes no sense.

I like doing this, and also buying discounted gift cards; not only do I save a little but it's nice to not have all those tiny little iTunes store transactions on my credit card statement. Just an occasional $50 or $100 charge.

The money gets spent eventually anyway, as I have Netflix, HBO Now, iCloud storage and a couple app subscriptions going through it...so the discounts are like free money.
