iTunes gift cards are some of the greatest little things on Earth. They allow you to buy all of your favorite songs, videos, and iPhone apps – all without using a credit card. You can buy iTunes gift cards for a certain price and enter the code into iTunes to redeem the funds. But, what’s even better, is that you can get one of these iTunes gift cards completely for free!

The first step in getting a free iTunes gift card is to do a simple search online. Didn’t know that these types of options were available? Simply type in “free iTunes gift card” into any web browser and you’ll be given plenty of results that will take you to promotions, surveys, and all other sorts of contests where a free iTunes gift card is the prize. Points 2 Shop is one such website.

With these types of websites, you may need to register or become a member. Because of this, you might want to set up a separate ‘junk’ email account. Signing up for these websites is often one of the causes of your email address being sold to third parties, and your Inbox quickly being filled with junk. Set up a junk email account for free at a site such as Hotmail and when you register at different websites, you can give this email address out and only check it periodically.

These different websites then work on a few different premises. One is that you simply enter contests to win a free iTunes gift card by doing things like answering trivia questions or entering draws. Other types of websites will ask you to complete surveys, after which you will be awarded a free iTunes gift card as payment. Some websites, such as Points 2 Shop, work on a points system where, you complete a certain number of things for the website and in turn, receive points. After you have a certain number of points, you can then redeem them for a free iTunes gift card.

Yes, getting a free iTunes gift card does require some time and effort on your part. But just think, if you’re not interested in doing all of that, you could always ask for one when your birthday or the holidays roll around. In the meantime, happy hunting!
