Apple is now offering customers 10% in bonus credit when they add funds to their Apple ID.

The promotion offers a maximum bonus of $20. It can be spent in iTunes and the App Store, or on services like iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and app subscription fees.

Apple has offered similar bonus credit deals in the past. Its latest will be available through December 12, which is great timing for those shopping for cheap apps and content over Black Friday.

The promotion is available in the United States and many other countries. And it couldn’t be easier to take advantage of it.

How to earn 10% bonus credit from Apple

Here are the steps you need to follow to top-up your Apple ID:

  1. Open the App Store on iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
  2. Tap your picture in the top-right to access your account.
  3. Tap Add Funds to Apple ID.
  4. Select or enter an amount and tap Next.
  5. Confirm your purchase with Face ID or Touch ID.

The credit card or payment method you already have attached to your Apple ID will be charged. You’ll be prompted to add one if you haven’t already done so.

A maximum of $20 free

Apple displays how much credit you’ll receive alongside the various amount options. This helps make it obvious whether the promotion is available where you live.

Your free credit will be available as soon as your transaction is complete. And again, Apple is offering a maximum of $20, which you can earn by spending $200.
