Hello Jen, Generally speaking, there are two types of iTunes gift cards. The first type of gift card is sold with a pre-paid amount already established on the card. For example, were you in a store such as Target, the card would be hanging on a display with an amount such as $25, $50, or $100 printed on it.
The second type of card is, effectively a blank card which, the purchaser would have the cashier charge at the time of checkout. This type of card can have any amount on it for example, $41.27. Let's assume that you have a fixed-amount gift card. In order to have the phone's camera automatically detect the card, you must first remove a very tiny strip of paper from the card. This strip of paper covers a series of numbers that, along with the bar code, already printed on the card, allows for auto-detection. It can sometimes be a little tricky locating an removing this strip of paper. Keep in mind that there is no data/information located on the paper itself. It merely covers a code that is printed on the gift card. So, now that you've removed the strip of paper, simply lay the card on a flat surface and, assuming that you have selected to use the camera in order to redeem the card, just point the camera at the card. The acquisition process takes less than 3 seconds. Make certain there is sufficient lighting in the room. I have never tried to redeem the second type of gift card--the one that is charged at the time of checkout so don't know if that type can be redeemed by the camera. Good luck and enjoy your gift.
