These can be purchased at many discount stores, etc. If you have an Apple Online Store gift card, this is not the same kind of card. The Apple Online store features computers, phones, IPads, accessories and whatnot. It is the online counterpart to the physical Apple Stores. The App store is the site you go to for apps and music and books. In other words, there's a confusing distinction between *App Store* and *Apple Online Store*.
