In this manual, I will try to decompose all the information about promotional codes in the App Store or iTunes Store. What it is? How to use? Where to take?
What is promotional codes?
Promotional codes are special codes that allow you to free download some application, an album, a film in the App Store or iTunes Store. After downloading, the content is considered to be bought by you! That is, it can be deleted, but in purchases it will still remain.
Do not confuse such promotional codes with codes that give discounts in online stores (by type Promocode.center/shop/m-Video), because it is essentially promotional codes, but coupons.
Most often, of course, we are confronted with promotional codes on applications. Previously, it was popular to play various promotional codes, but over time, the hype was easier. Whether the developers have become less to offer it, whether the effectiveness of this type of advertising has become less, but in general, the network of promotional code has become less.
What are promotional codes for applications?
Promotional codes are:
- to the entire application - when entering the program from the App Store is downloaded;
- on the built-in shopping - yes, a few months ago, developers were able to generate promotional codes for embedded purchases. It turned out it is very convenient - for example, so I asked promotional codes for additions to desktop games. They are introduced in the same way as ordinary promotional codes.
How to enter promo code?
In iTunes on the computer we go to the App Store section and find the "Enter Code" line. Press.
We enter the code or insert the code from the clipboard into a special field. After that, click Enter the code.
Possible promotional codes for films and music are entered by the same principle - you only need to switch to the appropriate sections. Find purchased applications in the App Store or iTunes Store section.
It is not difficult to enter on the iPhone / iPad / iPod. In the App Store you need to enter the section or with games or with applications (no matter where exactly). And there at the bottom find the "Enter Code" button.
After that, a window will appear in which you want to enter a promotional code and click the "Redemption" button. The application will immediately start downloading to the device.

One of the visitors asked me how to enjoy promotional code. Acknowledge, I myself did not know before that moment and even wrote with a mistake (promcode), but, thanks to the Internet, I quickly understood.
So I appeared with my idea to write this little material, about how to use promotional codes in iTunes (App Store).

Recently, the Russian App Store has the opportunity to make money gifts. Before February 14 and 23, as well as the 8th of March very relevant. Now you can give not only the application itself, but also list a certain amount at the expense of a friend or relative (the gift of the gift will be written off with bank accountattached to your Apple ID). And let him choose gifts himself - buys video, music or applications.
Give gifts very simple and our detailed instructions Make this process even easier. So, go to the App Store (through iTunes on your computer or on the iPad itself with iOS 6). I will lend screenshots from iTunes. Yesterday I sent a gift card to our author Mikhail. This is how it was:
1. In the App Store we find this such icon Gift cards iTunes.. Click on it:

As you can see, everything is simple. Now let's figure out what you can spend money presented in this way.
But what:
- for programs and games in the Russian App Store
- to music and video in Russian iTunes Store
- on internal purchases in games and applications
- on programs and games in the Mac App Store
Please note that the money you can spend only in the Russian App Store (i.e., you cannot give a map for the American account).
To which it is impossible to spend:
- to buy a subscription in iTunes Match
- sending an application as a gift
- buying an extra room in iCloud
As you can see, everything is simple. And this concerns not only gifts. You can ask friends who have a bank card, list the money to you at the expense. Convenient if you need to buy only 2-3 programs and you do not want to bind bank card To your Apple ID. But that's not all.
You can also set up monthly money transfers . It is very convenient for parents who have children use a separate account. It is enough to set up a monthly payment and explain the child that, that, they say, the 1st day of each month your account will be replenished by 50 rubles (and do not refuse themselves! :))
On the cash transfer page, enter data to configure automatic payments:
I do not know why, but in this way, you can only send from 10 to 50 rubles. Perhaps this is a mistake (made by analogy with dollars) and the limit will increase?
Cancel money transfers, as well as scheduled gifts on the page Account Information(Look more in the article). In chapter History of shopping Now there is a link Managing gifts.

Both for the first and second device, you will need access to the Internet and an account, registered Apple ID, if Apple ID registered without payment cardThis will also suit the promotional code. You can enter a promotional code from Apple iPad tablet, but other input options will be affected by way. If you need to enter the promotional code directly to the gadget, it is necessary that the device is authorized.

Each Creator for Game Software apple systems iOS offers a certificate.
Below in more detail the steps are considered to use promotional codes. This section shows - how to use the application of the AppStore and that this code will give the user. Promo AppStore codes in Apple iOS, if they managed to purchase, it is advisable to immediately use in the operating system, because each code has a limited validity period. Usually it is possible to use it only 28 days from the beginning of its release by developers, but as soon as the validity period expires, it will become useless and will not give the result. The promotional code itself has letters and numbers and something like that - 23WeyTruyRijin will be shown to enter the promotional code using the Apple iPad tablet, as well as other input options. Promotional codes in the iPhone are entered and fill in almost exactly as well as in the iPad:
In the case when the program is a series of APP Store, it can have one of two types: paid or free. Apple did not specifically plan to develop and produce trial and demo version. Therefore, the authors of the application proposed to develop specialized promotional codes, which are then distributed among observers or fall into contests and bonus distributions. Given the information received from Macrumors, the authors report that the game creators for the iPhone, using special promotional codes, can provide users with free download a full copy of the application you need. Upon completion of the download of the gift promotional code, the application can be used to fully as an authorized and full user.

If the application store boot, then in the upper right corner you should click on your account And then in the opened context menu, click "Enter the code". If there are difficulties with this action, you can click on the App Store tab, drop by scrolling at the end of the page and select "Enter the code" by scrolling. Next, when the page opens, enter an existing promotional code and click on the button. If a password confirmation appears, then enter it from the Apple ID and get a new gift application, after which it will start booting into iTunes. Promotional codes can always be found on the Kupoha website. Ru
Promotional codes themselves, in particular, promotional App Store codes, provide the user with the opportunity to get a paid application for free and use it full of funny, as if it were official. Finally, I want to answer the question: where to get promotional codes? There are really many contests and distributions. It would be nice in addition to subscribe to the App Store page on Facebook and download the necessary application from this network.
