Hi. I bought several $100 apple gift cards online from sites like best buy and target and paid with my credit card online. I got the emails from the gift cards with the gift card codes. How exactly do I transfer these $100 apple gift cards to my iphone 13 mini? I never used apple pay or anything like that. The reason I bought these gift cards online is because I heard you could just pay with it at the apple store whether you buying apple products or you paying for a service like them replacing your screen and things like that. But these aren't physical gift cards and are digital codes. I heard you can put up to a maximum of $2000 into your apple account. This isn't apple pay I believe right but Apple ID?
In the emails, there does seem to be 2 pdf files to open which are the gift code for the $100 apple gift cards? But there is also a message below it that says you open it? These $100 apple gift cards was sent to my email digitally as I purchased it off sites like best buy and target and have it sent to my email. How do I apply each $100 apple gift card to my apple account on my iphone? It is my Apple ID balance right and how would you do this? And after that is done, how exactly do I use it to pay at the apple store whether it's buying iphone products at the apple store or paying for a service? It's the same way like if I was to order an iphone on my laptop right? I am completely clueless about this but did this as I wanted to buy these $100 apple gift cards as it would be used soon no matter what.
Now say after I apply a few of these $100 apple gift cards to my apple account on my iphone... what would happen if something happened to my iphone like it broke or something like that? Would I still have access to it or not? I assume yes if I access my apple id on another iphone? Right now I want to transfer these gift cards to my apple iphone but not sure where exactly I click in the email to open these gift card codes?
