Isn't it disappointing when you are expecting a higher rate for selling your Apple/iTunes gift card but you end up getting less. This is a common issue some of our Apple/iTunes users have faced at Tbay. The difference in the value of vertical and horizontal Apple/iTunes gift cards is often the culprit. Generally, vertical gift cards offer more value in Nairas, while horizontal gift cards tend to fetch a lower rate.
Apple/iTunes gift cards come in two main formats: horizontal and vertical. Understanding the difference between these can prevent confusion. Vertical Apple/iTunes cards typically hold more value than their horizontal counterparts. You will receive less value if you are selling a horizontal card. First of all, we will help you identify which card you have. Next, we will talk about when you go to a vendor's listing, how can you identify if it is the rate that is showing for a vertical card.
Identify your Card Orientation:
Vertical Cards: These are oriented vertically, with the Apple logo and card details aligned in a top-to-bottom format.
Horizontal Cards: These are oriented horizontally, with details spread from left to right.
Look for clear distinctions in design and layout to accurately identify which type of card you possess.
Labels on Vendors Listings
In the image shown below, you can clearly see that the vendors are adding the labels "vertical". It is a clear indication that the rate you are seeing is for a vertical card. If you sell a horizontal Apple/iTunes card, you will receive a lower value in Nairas.
Value Notification:
When you visit Tbay to sell your gift card, you'll notice a notification alerting you to the difference in value between horizontal and vertical cards. This notification helps ensure you are aware of the potential variation in returns before proceeding with the sale.
Conclusion:
At Tbay, we strive to provide transparency and ensure our users are well-informed. By understanding the differences between horizontal and vertical Apple/iTunes cards, you can avoid the frustration. Always check the orientation and heed the notification provided on our platform to maximize your returns.
