Buy it at a Walgreens 
2008-07-23
Don't bother buying it from here because of the shipping costs. You can pick one up anywhere these days. Walgreens, Walmart, Target, the Apple Store.
I've never yet had a problem with any purchases that was the iTunes store's fault; quite the opposite. I had an interrupted download and thought the purchase had not gone through, so I bought the song again. When I got the email bill, I noticed I was billed twice so I contacted the Apple people and I got a credit to buy another song and was informed how to resume the download if that ever happened again.
After four years of high school using a Mac on campus, I had to buy a laptop for college and, considering my experiences, I've bought a Toshiba laptop with Vista. The only product they've convinced me that they've gotten it right is iTunes (and their store) and the iPod.
Disappointing Service 
2008-04-10
This product was never received. Seller was contacted and NEVER responded. Still waiting to hear back from Amazon regarding my claim. I am VERY disappointed in my service.
Great gift for a teenager or other music/video lover 
2008-04-07
I had my Mom buy one of these for me before I got my Visa card and I reimbursed her for it. Redeeming it was quick and easy, plus I could use it for everything on iTunes, from the iPod touch January Software Upgrade to my favorite movies and TV shows.
If you know someone who loves iTunes content, but doesn't have a credit card to buy it, this is a great gift to give them. If they do have a credit card, I recommend giving them a check.
Deceptive. Entices Kids to Wrack up Charges Unknowingly 2007-12-13
The problem with suddenly asking for credit card info when one is using an iTunes card is that the (young) user is not notified when (or that) s/he has run out of credit on the iTunes card. It just suddenly asks for credit card info. My own daughter thought the request was a new requirement just to use the site and so did all her friends AND their parents. (BTW, If it isn't a requirement, iTunes certainly goes out of its way to hide that opt out option once you try to use your iTunes card for the first time!.
My daughter had no intentions of using the credit card for downloads. She thought the downloads were still being charged to her iTunes card. She didn't keep track, she figured it would cut her off when she reached her iTune's card limit. She's a kid, what does she know? Well, her iTunes card had run out (which she did not realize) and downloads automatically began being charged on our credit card!
You can imagine my shock when we got our credit card bill. We thought we were victims of identity theft. No such luck. We were merely victims of Apple's deceptive practices which deliberately prey upon minors. I will not pay this bill, but I will protest it-- loudly. Should they pursue payment, I will be the best buddy of consumer reporters everywhere. Then I will sue Apple. Those who have paid in these situations before, might want to pursue restitution.
Shame on Apple! I consider this thievary, and not by my daughter.

BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS 2007-03-30
Once receiving of one of these cards, a person is enabled to explore music they aren't brave enough to commit to for an entire album.
Read a top ten list of new music in Rolling Stone magazine?
Want to immerse yourself in a smattering of jazz?
Trying to feel around in the underground-hip-hop world?
Putting together a playlist for your ultimate New Wave 80's dance party?
Nothing beats this card. You'll find what you're looking for on iTunes. The iTunes catalog has its limitations for those endowed with a Rock-and-Roll encyclopedia for brains, but in most cases their selection is surprisingly broad.
Fifteen bucks to change your personal music trends is well worth it.
Terrible for an unsuspecting recipient 2006-12-27
This gift card may be good to give to someone whom you know loves iPods, Apple, iTunes, and all that other stuff, however, if you just know someone and don't know what to get that person, do not default to this. First of all, just to use the card you have to download and install iTunes and open an account which will be an annoying hassle for anyone who doesn't already have that program, furthermore, it may force you to update your iTunes as well. Also, if each song is $.99 then that means that anyone who doesn't plan on using iTunes again is losing $0.15. Also, you're technically not allowed to resell, return, or exchange the card based on the terms and conditions of it. Basically, this is a sucky gift unless you know the person will like it. If you don't know what to get someone, a Borders gift card is convenient since it's basically the same thing as an amazon.com gift card. (Also, keep in mind that all music on the iTunes music store has DRM which not all people will appreciate especially if they don't use iPods and want to be able to do what they please with their own music and that JHYMN doesn't work on iTunes 6.0 or later)
iTunes cards = music buying freedom 2006-10-21
It's so nice to be able to buy only the songs you want, whenever you want. If you feel uncomfortable about giving your credit card information online, (or if you don't have a credit card) these pre-paid iTunes cards make shopping iTunes simple. You pretty much just have to type in the code on the back, and the money goes straight into your account. I recommend only getting the $15 dollar cards, so that you do make sure to use all of the money in case the accusations of there being an expiring date are true. I've never had any problems. It is harder to download songs if you don't have broadband, but you can keep trying to download the song if something screws up. Either way, the cards are a really good option.
Do not buy these unless you inted to use it all at once 2006-09-06
They claim that they won't expire for 2 years but I have now lost $20 across two cards that iTunes EXPIRED after less than a year on both. The customer service is horrible. They will not investigate if the card was legitimately expired or not. All they will do is tell you tough luck, we say it is expired. You have no recourse since all the support is ONLY through email and automated responses.
Do not buy these gift cards unless you want to risk being ripped off.
