iTunes e-vouchers - do they exist?

[horrorfan]

I'm completely out of the loop regarding all this stuff and I want to send my niece and nephew an iTunes voucher to their e-mail addresses rather than getting one physically sent to them. Is this possible? I've been browsing the Apple Canada store and it appears the only vouchers are physical ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think they exist, but worst case scenario, buy a physical one, open it and note down the number (code).

Make a nice little virtual gift card using paint and or photoshop and send it to them with the code on it via email.

Voilà!

Hope this helps your issue

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

Thanks, but the problem is that I'm in Scotland so that wouldn't work, unless I send them one directly.

What if you buy one from Ebay and have it shipped to them?

Here's one that I found for $25 (they charge you more than the value of the voucher but offer fast, free shipping)

I believe you can actually send an iTunes gift card electronically. I haven't done it myself, but I do see this on from the Apple site:

Sign in to the iTunes Store with your Apple ID.
In the iTunes Store, click Buy iTunes Gifts under QUICK LINKS in the right column.
Select your delivery method by clicking the “Buy now” button in the appropriate section: Email Gift Certificates or Printable Gift Certificates.
Enter details such as your recipient's name, your name, a personal message, and choose the amount you would like to give from the Amount pop-up menu. Depending on which delivery method you have chosen, you also may need to enter your recipient's email address or mailing address. Then, click Continue.

Thanks but that is the US site. I believe you cannot redeem a US voucher in another country, but I can be corrected.

Not an ebay fan (just personal preference) and would rather not take the risk especially since I'm abroad and would be annoying if it doesn't arrive on time. Thanks though.


I might end up going for another option if I can't do it.
