Apple on Wednesday introduced a new feature through popular social networking site, Facebook.
Facebook users are now able to send iTunes gift cards to friends through the Facebook interface. Facebook will allow you to send $5, $10, $15, $25 and $50 gift cards.

Like any Facebook app, you must approve the app and give it access to your profile. Once into the app you can choose between six different things including two holiday, two birthday and two any occasion cards.
The Facebook interface also allows you to choose a date that the card will be delivered, which makes it easier to send gifts for a special occasion.

I don’t believe it. No way. Please send me a $50 one to prove it. Then I’ll send you one right back. Honest!
ROTFL — I’ll get right on that.
Jim, I see that you just sent me a $25 iTunes Gift Card. Thanks, how generous of you.
But I don’t use Facebook. Any other way I can redeem it?
LOL
I just got one. But it do not work once I hot the redeem link it will stay on an ethereal loading and nothing else. Called the customer support line and the only thing they can do is take my phone number open a ticket and have someone call witting 48 hours.
So disappointed.
