Update 6/29/20: Deal is back through 7/10/20. Stack the deal by using your Amex card to get the monthly streaming credit. (Hat tip to my friend Esther)
The Offer

To load on iPhone, go to Settings > Apple ID > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > View Apple ID > Add Funds to Apple ID.
The Fine Print
- Valid through 3/14
- Bonus limit is 1
Our Verdict
I believe this Apple account credit is the equivalent to iTunes credit (?). 10% discount isn’t massive (you can often get iTunes gift cards at a larger discount), but useful for someone who needs funds there now. Looks like BofA Cash Rewards can earn 3x at Apple; conflicting data points on whether it works for 3x on ATT.

Are there any more DPs re whether it's possible to get 3x (up to 5.25%) back on the BofA Business cash rewards card, in the computer services category? there is a place in the promotional material for that card that says 3% back on computers
I did this last time around and also received 10x on my CSR, maybe include that in the post. It essentially amounts to a 25% bonus, so it’s worth it if you pay for anything significant through your Apple ID
Been a long while since the last good 15-20% off deal and balance is running low so I'll take it. There's been a few Target and Best Buy offers I think but I haven't seen any plain dollar amount discounts recently.
Also remember you can change your Apple payment method to PayPal and there's 5% cashback on PayPal with Discover for this quarter.
Does this earn 10x with CSR?
It worked for me. Loaded $100 and got 1,000 points.
Thanks for the tip, tried with $200
Just a heads up, you can get a $15 Best Buy gift card when you buy a $100 iTunes gift card right now. As long as you can use the Best Buy gift card, this is effectively 15% off. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-100-app-store-itunes-gift-card-digital-delivery-digital/4173314.p?skuId=4173314
Can I buy ipad from apple store using the apple load fund ($200) and pay rest with credit card?
If Yes, how? TIA.
This is for iTunes and app store things, not for Apple store purchases (as I understand).
Right. Out of the big 4, only Microsoft has a unified store balance.
Could this fund be used for paying logo credit card?
Thanks for this! My funds were running low. Normally I try to get them at 15% off during the deals but this is also good.
Can an App Store & iTunes physical gift card be used as the form of payment to add funds to the Apple ID under terms of the promotion?
iTunes gift cards are redeemed and not a form of payment so that would not work.
Apple ran this promotion before. I was hoping that they would up their game and let it apply to loading Apple Cash :)
I didn't check, but I assume that won't work
Does anyone know if this works with family accounts? And subscriptions like Apple Music?
Yes , Its is .
It should because any Apple subscriptions pull money from what’s in the account first then the payment method on file.
