Wallet App Support for Apple Account Cards Now Live in Australia and Canada

Support for Apple Account Cards in the Wallet app has gone live in Canada and Australia, over two years since it first launched in the United States.

apple account card feature
The change means users can use the Wallet app to add an Apple Account Card, which displays the Apple credit balance associated with an Apple ID. If you receive an App Store or Apple Store gift card, for example, it is added to an Apple Account that was previously visible in the ‌App Store‌ and ‌Apple Store‌ apps.

Support for the feature in Canada and Australia requires iPhone users updating to iOS 17.6, as spotted by Nicolás Álvarez. Prior to today, support for the feature was thought to be limited to Japan and the US.

To add an Apple Account Card, open up the Wallet app and under "Available Cards," tap on "Add Apple Account." As long as you have an Apple Account balance, you'll be able to add the card.

Once added, you can view your Apple Account balance right from the Wallet app and use it to purchase Apple products, apps, games, and music. It works in the same way as any other card in the Wallet app when at an ‌Apple Store‌. The Apple Account Card replaces the iTunes Pass that used to be available a long time ago.

It's sad how long they take for such basic things they control 100%. Support for the Apple Store to do the package tracking in Wallet is also not there yet and has stagnated in general except for Shopify shops. And that's been what, 2 years+?

Note: You cannot get this card if you have different accounts being used for the App Store and iCloud.

Cool level of detail when the Apple logo color gradient changes according to the orientation of the phone.

That’s great that Apple has made this feature available to more countries

In the past, Apple has offered a 10% bonus when you reload your Apple ID with additional funds:

https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/10/apple-id-funds-bonus-promotion/

I have the Apple Card which offers 3% cash back on all Apple purchases however, I rarely use that for Apple purchases as I instead purchase Apple gift cards from Target.com using my Target ? RedCard (and I’m able to save 5% instantly at checkout) which beats the 3% offered from the Apple Card

I’m glad that Apple finally combined iTunes gift card balances with their regular Apple online store so that customers can use funds on both places (as well as in their physical Apple Stores)

I’m planning on buying my new iPad a week from this Saturday and I’m going to be using my Apple ID account balance to purchase it from the Apple online store (on our tax free holiday here in Massachusetts)

Hopefully Apple continues to roll this feature out to additional countries as well as occasionally offer promotions on funds that are reloaded to Apple ID balances (by giving a 10% bonus, etc)

Yeah I just encountered that very error message this week. They really need to address multiple legacy Apple IDs at some point. And this should really be called “Apple Gift Card” since you can only use the funds at Apple.

Up until a week ago I had two different accounts for the App Store and iCloud. Decided to consolidated both to make things easier. Perfect timing.

Added with no issues. Australia.
