🟣 Type 3. Apple Music Family Plan - Before September 24, 2025

The Apple Music Family Plan currently offers a discount via a 3-month free trial, valid until September 24, 2025, and is only available to new subscribers — those who are not current Apple Music subscribers, have never subscribed to Apple Music or Apple One before, and have never accessed Apple Music through a Family Plan. After the free period ends, the plan will revert to a monthly cost of $16.99, but this remains more cost-effective compared to the individual plan.

This promotion is exclusive to new subscribers who haven't previously subscribed to Apple Music, Apple One, or accessed Apple Music through a Family Plan.

🟣 Type 8. Gift Card Discounts

First, let’s be clear: you can’t get a discount on Apple Music directly with an Apple Gift Card. However, you can use an Apple Gift Card to pay for your Apple Music subscription, which can effectively reduce your out-of-pocket expenses if you buy the gift card at a discount or during a promotional period.

How to buy discounted Apple Gift Cards? Popular resale websites like CardCash, Raise, and GiftCardGranny frequently offer deals on Apple Gift Cards, with discounts ranging from 5% to 15% or even higher. Major retailers like Target and Walmart also regularly run promotions, such as buy-one-get-one offers or 20% off gift cards. However, these offers are not always available and tend to be time-sensitive. To ensure you never miss out, you can sign up for deal alerts on platforms like Slickdeals or subscribe to retailers' newsletters.

How to Redeem Apple Gift Card for Apple Music?

1. Redeem Your Apple Gift Card, and Add the Funds to Your Apple ID.

On iPhone or iPad:

Step 1: Open the App Store or iTunes Store.

Step 2: Scroll down and tap on your profile picture.

Step 3: Select Redeem Gift Card or Code and enter the code from the gift card.

On Mac or PC:

Step 1: Open Apple Music (on Mac) or iTunes (on Windows).

Step 2: From the menu bar at the top of your screen, choose Account > Redeem Gift Card.

Step 3: Follow the on-screen instructions to scan or enter your code. The card's value will be immediately added to your Apple ID balance.

2. Set Your Apple ID Balance as the Payment Method.

Go to Settings → [Your Name] → Payment & Shipping. Make sure Apple ID Balance is turned on and is your first payment method.

3. Pay for Your Subscription

For New Subscribers: When you sign up for Apple Music, it will charge your default payment method. If your Apple ID Balance is your primary method, it will use the credit.

For Existing Subscribers: Once the credit is in your account, Apple will automatically deduct the next renewal fee from your Apple ID Balance.

Note: To avoid scams, only purchase Apple Gift Cards from authorized retailers or sites. Additionally, steer clear of deals that seem too good to be true on auction or resale websites.

🟣 Type 9. Regional Pricing Differences

To tap into diverse global markets, Apple Music uses regional pricing to match local economic conditions and spending power. This strategy makes its subscriptions more affordable and has significantly boosted its international user base. As of September 16, 2025, the cheapest individual plans are in India ($0.67/month), Egypt ($0.73/month), and Turkey ($0.8/month), followed by China ($0.84/month). For users looking to get Apple Music at a lower cost, one workaround is to use a VPN to sign up from a country with cheaper pricing. However, some countries require the use of local payment methods, which poses certain challenges for this approach.

How to Use VPN to Get Apple Music Regional Low Price?

Step 1: Completely sign out of all Apple services (iTunes, App Store, Apple Music) on all your devices.

Step 2: Connect to a reliable VPN server in your target country (e.g., Turkey).

Step 3: Go to your Apple ID account settings and attempt to change your account's country or region to the target country.

Step 4: During subscription, attempt payment using one of the following methods:

Local Gift Cards: Purchasing gift cards denominated in the target country’s currency is a common workaround for local payment restrictions.

International Payment Solutions: Services such as Revolut or Wise that support transactions in local currencies may be attempted, though success is not guaranteed.

Step 5: Once the region is changed, you would then subscribe to Apple Music through the App Store of that country.

Note: This method may result in subscription termination or account suspension, so users should carefully weigh the risks before proceeding.
