Are you getting “this code must be redeemed in the US storefront” error while trying to redeem a code in the App Store or iTunes Store?
In this article, I will provide a step-by-step guide on how to fix this error and successfully redeem your code.
Whether you have an App Store & iTunes Gift Card or another type of code, I will show you how to change your country or region setting and redeem your code in the US storefront.
What Does “This Code Must Be Redeemed In The US Storefront” Mean?
The “this code must be redeemed in the US storefront” means that you are trying to redeem a code that is only valid in the United States, but your App Store or iTunes Store country or region setting is set to a different country or region.
This can happen if you purchased an App Store & iTunes Gift Card or other type of code in the United States and you are trying to redeem it in a different country or region.
You can’t redeem Apple Gift Cards or App Store & iTunes Gift Cards outside of the country or region of purchase.
You need to change your country or region setting to the United States to redeem it.
It is also important to note that once you change your country or region setting to USA, you will likely not be able to change it back and keep the gift balance.
You will need to spend the balance before you can reset your country or region setting to a different one.
