How to purchase apple app store gift card for my son?

Post by HHCanuck »

Does anyone know how to buy credit for the app store as a gift without having a apple account? My son has an I-pad for school but I'm an Android user I don't want to set up an apple account for myself.

How can I gift him credit on the app store?

Go here:

http://store.apple.com/us/accessories/giftcards

You have to set up some kind of account, just like you have to do with any other internet purchase. It doesn't mean you have to use it often or keep it active. Billing address, shipping address, phone, credit card # (that the gift certificate will be charged to)....i'm sure will be required.

EDIT: The above link is from the US store. No idea where the recipient is that you'll gift it to. The Thai Apple on-line Store doesn't seem to advertise gift cards. Regardless, I think you can buy the certificates on-line out of Thailand, and send them by email to anyone, anywhere.

EDIT #2: Visit an Apple Store in Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya etc. They should be able to do it for you.
