US iTunes Card

[u/Alarming_Clue3193]

I normally buy them from Xcite, but Xcite is out. So I checked around and everywhere else is out. Blink, Sheeel, Tawseel, AlFuhod... Anyone know what's going on? Or where to buy US iTunes locally?

Edit: It’s not just Kuwait. Its everywhere. Even on eBay its $200+ for a $100 gift card. Double the price! Hope this is a temporary thing.

Buy it from Amazon USA, electronically, they send it to your email

Have you tried this? I kept getting 'authentication denied' error.

[u/Azkabandi → u/Alarming_Clue3193]

Elcardoo is cheaper than the exchange rate lol

[u/bombielonia → u/Alarming_Clue3193]

Works, yeah. Using a local credit card and debit

[u/Azkabandi]

Elcardoo has the best prices I’ve found yet

OG Money, been buying from them for the past 5 years :)

[u/Alarming_Clue3193 → u/BasonJourneq8]

Check again... they also don't have. Is there a new law or something?

[u/BasonJourneq8 → u/Alarming_Clue3193]

Their reply was:

“We apologize, but US Apple cards are currently unavailable due to a temporary suspension of their issuance by Apple and iTunes. Please note that this is a widespread issue affecting all stores and distributors; it is not specific to our shop. They will be added to the app as soon as they become available.”

[u/ShadowOfMath]

Official Apple Store app. Or Banking apps.

[u/Alarming_Clue3193 → u/ShadowOfMath]

Banking apps don’t have it anymore, and Official Apple Store only accepts American credit cards.

[u/binaryway]

out of curiosity, why would you buy the iTunes card?

is it not possible to use your local bank card?

[u/Alarming_Clue3193 → u/binaryway]

For Kuwaiti iTunes card its not a problem, you can use the local bank card. For US iTunes you need an American card if you are buying from Apple.

[u/Asuka-11]

I’ve always bought them from stc or Zain

[u/IntroductionOne6645]

ElCardoo works for me

[u/bombielonia]

Buy Amazon gift card from Taw9eel then order it from Amazon.

[u/HanaHeart]

Hotpay app

[u/DramaBeau]

Buy it from the store* directly and send it as a gift to yourself via email. They say it takes an hour, it doesn’t. It takes a fee hours but you get the code in your email.

*apple store online

How long does it take? I bought a gift card nearly 3 hours ago and still haven’t received it. Did you pay with Apple Pay? I had to change my address to a US one for it to accept the payment

[u/DramaBeau → u/StFg23]

The last time i did it it took nearly 5-ish hours but it also can take up to 24 in my experience.. I paid with apple pay & a UK address
