Can I transfer an Apple Gift Card from one account to another?

If I redeemed my Apple gift card on the wrong Apple account can I add it to my other account and still use it or is it stuck!!!???

Normally once funds are in Apple Account balance the only way to get them out again is to spend them, or ask Apple to keep them. An exception is described below but is unlikely to be satisfactory due to restrictions.


Laws requiring gift card balance refunds.

"About unused Apple ID balance

You can't redeem or return Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards, or unused Apple Account balance for cash, except as required by law. If your jurisdiction allows for refund of redeemed gift balances, you can contact Apple Support." Read the support article for more details.

The above excerpt only mentions balances from gift cards as being eligible for refunding, and only in limited places where laws may require that. Read the support article for more details.


Sorry Apple Account funds are not transferable or refundable in most regions.


You can certainly contact Apple directly, just wanted to give you a heads up.
