How do I get my iTunes gift card to work?

I just recently got 2 $10 iTunes gift cards for Christmas and I just got an iTunes account and everything, but I can't figure out how to get the code right on the site. What is the "Code" and what is the "Pin"? I know I sound like a complete idiot, but I'm not a computer person.

Is the code the part that you scratch off? Which number is the Pin? XD This is insane!

    Pretty easy. First, look back of the card, use coin, nail, any thing except things that can scratch the card itself, scratch it of the silver thing. (make sure you scratch it off enough to see EVERY number,) Then you will see a number. Go to iTune, look to the left column, where you'll find "iTunes Store" and click on that. When iTunes Store appeared, look to the right hand side, where it say "quick links", then click on "Redeem". Then put your card code in. It may ask you to put your account ID (should be your e-mail) and put your password, then redeem is done!

    If I'm not mistaken, there are instructions right on the card.

    Otherwise:

    1. Open iTunes.

    2. Click iTunes Store in the pane on the left-hand side of the window.

    3. Click the Redeem link in the Quick Links box on the right-hand side of page.

    4. Enter your code.

    5. Click the Redeem button.

    Make sure you do this for both to avoid problems in case you lose one. Then Step 6

    6. Enjoy your new music!

    Hope this helps ;)

    Well you shouldn't have to put in a pin?

    OK - so make sure you're signed in.

    And then return to the main iTunes home page.

    Once you've done that, up in the TOP RIGHT hand corner, click REDEEM.

    Scratch off that weird grey barcode looking thing and you'll have your code.

    Enter that code, only on ONE of the iTunes cards for now.

    Once you've entered that code it will probably ask for your password.

    Type it in, and happy spending!

    Then once you've spent your $10 on the first card, do the same thing for the second one :)
