How to Get Up to $20 Free iTunes Credit From Apple
You can get a 10% bonus when you add funds to your Apple ID.
Until March 14, Apple is giving users a 10 percent bonus on any credit they add to their Apple ID accounts.
You can spend this money in either the App Store, iCloud or iTunes, so if you’re a long-term Apple user, you’ll easily get the use out of the additional funds.
You’ll likely already have a credit or debit card linked to your Apple ID from previous purchases, but in case you don’t, you can follow the steps at the bottom of this page.
You can add a maximum of $200 before Apple decides you’ve had enough free credit from them, so that’s an upper limit of $20 extra. It’s a one-time bonus, too, so you can’t get multiple extra doses of cash.
This offer is available to U.S. users, but sadly not for those in the UK.
