Tips

  • If you see "Your code limit has been reached" when you try to redeem a free Apple Music offer, you'll usually need to wait a bit longer before you can redeem another trial. Give it about a month and try again.
  • Some people are able to use free trials forever and never pay for Apple Music. This usually requires using multiple Apple accounts.
