Apple offering 10% bonus for adding credit to Apple ID

Apple is giving its users an opportunity to earn some bonus credit on the Apple ID to spend on Apple's products and services, by offering 10% extra on top of any additions to an account up to the value of $200 before May 10.

A repeat of a promotion that last took place in March, the offer relates to the ability to add credit to an Apple ID, which can then be used to make payments in the various media and App Stores Apple controls. Running from Tuesday until March 10, customers in the United States with a valid payment card on an account can make a one-time top-up and receive further credit worth 10% of the payment.

According to Apple's terms, the bonus is applied on only one successful top-up during the offer period, and is available for values between $1 and $200. In reality, the amount that can be topped up differs depending on the device used.

On an iOS device, users have to go to the App Store and tap their name, then on Add Funds to Apple ID, then the amount they wish to top up. Via this method, the options are $10, $25, $50, $100, and $200, with each value also displaying the extra credit that users will receive.

On the Mac App Store, the process involves clicking the user's name at the bottom left then selecting View Information, and entering the proper credentials. Under Add Funds to Apple ID, the five values of credit are presented, along with Other, which can be used to select a custom credit amount.

People can often get 15% off if they pay attention to various deals that pop up from time to time, from various retailers. Just recently, Costco was selling $100 iTunes cards for $85.

I remember the days of 25% off, some years ago. I stocked up on iTunes cards big time back then when I came across those kind of deals. Those days are over though I guess. You don't see deals like that anymore.

Target consistently offers a Black Friday deal on iTunes cards in the 20%-33% range.

I did a quick search for their 2018 Black Friday deal and I found the Black Friday circular and it was apparently buy 1, get 1 30% off.

So, if somebody bought a $50 card, then they would get 30% off of the next $50 card, bringing the total cost for a $100 in iTunes Credits to $85, which is not a very good Black Friday deal, as that's just 15% off, and that's the same discount that all of the current deals are, such as the recent Costco deal.

I'll be keeping an eye out for Black Friday 2019, and I will definitely stock up on some iTunes Credits if I find some good deals. There are a few pricey apps and software that I plan on buying.

Indeed they are. I have a Costco account, so I just checked and yep, you are correct, it's currently $84.99, that's for members only of course.
