It seems that it's important to use an applied gift code balance only with the chosen currency. Which explains why you can't use an US balance with the canadian shop.

It should work in Europe for example with the german, french or italian shops.
I never tried, cause I only read german and english, my french is not up to literature and my italian nonexistent.
I have to try Ireland, never came to mind before, UK won't work they don't use Euros.


just my 2ct

India doesn't have an egift card buying option as far as I know so I'm not sure what ATDrake is saying is completely true. I did buy my egift card few months ago, so maybe it changed.
Yep, I agree with you both re info provided in the initial explanatory post doesn't match the reality from all reports.

And like fbone said those of us with actual experience just keep answering questions as they arise.

For various reasons, including location of the member, a number of people need to comment on the same attribute before we get the know how or understanding. Well, that's my observation ....
