Here’s a quick review of how to buy iTunes US Gift Cards in the Philippines. This actually came about after me getting insanely frustrated because I couldn’t get iPad apps because the iTunes Philippines store doesn’t support it yet. I did some research and eventually found good leads on PHILMUG. First, you’ll have to create a US account on the iTunes store (click for instructions). If you don’t have a US credit card, your next option is to redeem iTunes Gift Cards. These are like prepaid cards that come in the following denominations: $10, $15, $25, and $50.
Here are a few ways to get iTunes US Gift Cards:
1. Buy from PhilMUG forumers. The good thing here is that the forum peeps don’t usually slap an insane profit margin so you won’t get ripped off. Usually payment is done via bank deposit or Paypal.
2. Try PowerMac Centers. Some branches actually sell the cards but they do so with a big margin. The conversion is around $1 to P64-P66 instead of P45.
3. Buy from Maximus Cards online. Now this is my personal favorite. All you need to do is to first hook up and connect your local credit card to your Paypal account. Then head on over to the Maximus Cards website and buy the iTunes Gift Card of your choice. They also make a profit out of this but it isn’t too much since it will save you a lot of time and effort. After paying via Paypal, you get the card details via e-mail almost instantaneously. The most I’ve had to wait for a card is 2 minutes. 
When you get your card details, go to iTunes and just click REDEEM and input the code. You should get the amount afterwards then shop all you want until you run out of credits.
do you still need a us address for this? just making sure.

YOUR MY SAVIOR!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS!!
Aside from megamall and greenhills is there anywhere else i can find an prepaid itunes card?
I’ve tried Maximus Cards online and it’s been working for me. I usually get 2 emails – the first one says that there was a “problem processing the transaction”. Then the 2nd email (after a few minutes or hours) is the actual iTunes code.

hey there, can itunes gift cards help to buy apps even you are in the philippines?
I think they can cannot buy for apps, i think you need to buy the Itunes Web Apps card. then you can download any apps you want, i know itnues gift card can only download, music, movies or games.
