The iTunes gift cards They have been in large supermarkets and in stores specializing in culture and technology for some time. They carry a code that loads virtual money into our iTunes account and then spend on content of any kind. You can buy them online or physically but, if you do not know them, we will explain how exactly it works.
We've been talking a lot about business cards for a couple of days now when we saw how google play gift cards they went from being a rumor to becoming a reality. Clearly Google was copying the strategy of iTunes although Amazon it also already has this system. And it is really useful.
This technology was designed to be able to give a gift so that someone can have money in their iTunes account for content in an easy way and that continues to look like a gift. It is also a way to control spending on our credit card by using only what the gift card code adds to our iTunes account.
In Spain it is easy to find these cards, they are in El Corte Inglés, Carrefour, FNAC and other similar large surfaces. Although we can also buy them online at Apple's website no additional shipping costs. There are four card prices that are equivalent to the amount of money that we can use: 15 Euros, 25 Euros, 50 Euros y 100 Euros.
La card must be activated by the cashier or cashier before it can be used. It is important not to pay without making sure this step is done.
To be able to give someone this card is you need to have an iTunes account or open one to receive it. To open an account you need to be over 13 years old and reside in Spain. A card purchased in Spain only works for the Apple Store in Spain. Then that person will enter the code in their iTunes account and can spend it little by little on content of all kinds.
The fight for the sale of content is becoming more and more evident and more and more facilities are being given to consumers to access them. Security is something of great concern and giving personal data such as credit card numbers can have its risks as we saw in the case of the community of Play Station players or with the Steam gaming platform. Moving towards these more secure payment methods is a completely necessary step. Today in the iTunes service we need to give our credit card details to open an account, as well as in other services. Although some have not been attacked, they should give the consumer to use these more archaic but safe procedures.
