iPhone $100 credit can be used for iTunes gift cards

I just used my apple credit to purchase 2 $50 itunes gift cards using the online store. It does work, although the people at Apple will tell you that it does not work. Why does it have to be so difficult?

I was able to buy $100 itunes gift card in exchange of the $100 iphone credit. However, the process painfully took me over an hour.
First, the online store would give me the option to use my credit. Then, I clicked the online chat and Deborah V, the Apple Expert couldn't help:
• You are chatting with Deborah V, an Apple Expert
• Hi, my name is Deborah V. Welcome to Apple!
• Deborah V: Good evening
• Deborah V: Would you like help with your shopping?
• You: I can't use my $100 store credit to buy $100 itunes gift card??
• Deborah V: No you are not able to purchase an iTunes gift card with your credit.
• You: ?? So what's the use of the $100 credit that Steve Jobs gave all those who bought the iPhone for $599???
•Deborah V: Please visit apple.com/iphone/storecredit
• You: I already did and received a 16 digit code but I'm not able to use it
• Deborah V: Please go to the site to check terms and conditions to the use of your credit.....

Finally, I called 1.800.MYAPPLE and remained on hold for about 26 minutes. The gentlemnan (I wish I remembered his name) was so helpful and assisted me use my store credit to buy 2 $50 gift cards that will be shipped to my address.

I have to admit though, the process for applying for the credit through apple.com/iphone/storecredit was extremely seamless and prompt!

I just spent my iPhone credit in the Apple Online Store. I purchased software and two $25 iTunes Cards totaling $109. I applied my iPhone credit with no issue whatsoever.

@rwdebes,

The key is to choose a Gift CARD, not a Gift CERTIFICATE, when ordering. The Card allows one to use a GC. The Certificate does not.

so how did you buy , if for me the part is light gray and dont let me put the information ?

Ordered $200 worth of Project RED iTunes gift cards with my 2 iPhone credits over the weekend. No trouble checking out...and no tax or shipping.

And both orders shipped out today, so it looks like it works!

Let me clarify that I got it from the online store.

I just purchased a 50.00 Itunes gift card from the apple store with my credit. I did not have any trouble.

I tried at an Apple store in Minnetonka, MN. The salesperson tried, and the purchase would not go through, and actually caused my certificate to go to zero value... To fix that, we had to go online and reprint the credit. Not sure what I'm going to spend the $100 on now....

i tried at my apple store they said no can do
