Prepare an Apple gift card for the correct quote category
For an Apple gift card quote, first identify the Apple card type and country or region, then confirm the face value and whether you have a card image, electronic image, or plain code. Apple image and code categories can have different quotes, so provide the actual format. A receipt is optional and does not change the ordinary quote request.

Key takeaways
Identify the exact Apple card type and region
Choose image or code based on the format you hold
A receipt is optional for the quote
Do not redeem or publicly expose the code before review
1. Identify the Apple card type
Check the front design and the wording on the back. Apple distinguishes Apple Gift Card, App Store and iTunes cards, and Apple Store Gift Cards. An Apple Store Gift Card may be a solid gray, white, silver, or gold and can include wording that it is not redeemable in the iTunes Store.
2. Confirm country, region, and value
Find the issuing country or storefront region and record the face value. Apple states that its gift cards cannot be redeemed outside the country or region where they were purchased. This information is therefore required to classify the card before comparing a current estimate.
3. Select image or code accurately
Tell support whether you have a physical card image, an electronic image, or a plain code. These Apple formats can have different OKGift quote categories. When an image is requested, provide a clear complete image; do not submit a code under the image category or the reverse.
4. Protect the card and keep optional evidence
Do not redeem the card before asking for a quote, and do not share the redemption code publicly. A purchase receipt is optional for an ordinary OKGift quote and does not affect the quoted category. Keep it if available because Apple may ask for a receipt, full card images, or a serial number when investigating a problem.
Common questions
Does an Apple code receive the same quote as a card image?
Not necessarily. Apple card images, electronic images, and plain codes can have different current quote categories, so select the format you actually hold.
Is a receipt required for an Apple quote?
No. A receipt is optional for an ordinary quote and not providing one does not change the quote. Apple may request it when investigating an activation or redemption problem.
Why must I confirm the Apple card region?
Apple states that its gift cards cannot be redeemed outside the country or region of purchase, so the region is essential for correct classification.
