However, if you have an Apple, App Store, or iTunes gift card that has been redeemed but unused, you can request to have the balance placed back into the card. At this point, it can be re-gifted and redeemed by another account. This wikiHow will show you how to contact Apple through live chat, phone, and email to reinstate a gift card balance to gift to someone else.

    Can I take money from my iTunes and put it on a gift card?
