    Community Answer
    Go to where it says Select, then the Find Apps option and then scroll down to Redeem. At the bottom, you will see the option for an iTunes pass. Click on Get Started and then tap the option to add iTunes pass to your wallet. Once you have the iTunes gift card added to your wallet, you will just need to open up your iTunes pass and view your account balance in the top right hand corner.
