Apple offers gift cards with up to $100 of iTunes credit

At exactly midnight, Apple activated its Black Friday deals in the Apple Store a mouth watering offer.

Buy an iPod, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, or selected Beats headphones from the company's online store, and you will also receive a special edition Product RED iTunes gift card worth between $25 and $100.

Purchasing an iPod touch, iPod nano, Apple TV, or a pair of qualifying Beats by Dre headphones will get you a $25 voucher. An iPad will earn you a $50 card, while buying any Mac will ensure you receive $100 in iTunes credit.

The promotion comes in the midst of a two-week campaign run by Apple over Thanksgiving to generate donations for Project RED. For every gift card distributed today, the company says it will donate a percentage to the global fund to fight AIDS.

The Apple Store update, which was unveiled after a few hours of downtime and speculation, came with the following note:

"Let's make today more than the start of the shopping season. When you purchase select Apple products, you'll receive a (PRODUCT)RED™ iTunes Gift Card to use toward anything at the iTunes Store. And we'll automatically make a donation to the Global Fund to support the fight against AIDS."

These offers are available across the world but only valid in the U.S. Apple Store today, November 28, 2014.
