This may seem overtly obvious to 99.9999% of you out there, but a friend of mine who received a promotional code to try out our iPhone / iTouch app asked me how to use the coupon.  I had no idea.

After looking EVERYWHERE on the app page for a coupon code textbox, I went a-googlin’.

“use coupon iphone app”  Nothing…

“use promotional code itunes”  Nothing…

“redeem itunes code”  Bingo!

Apparently, the magic word is ‘redeem.’   You can redeem a code at the iTunes Store by following these instructions:

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.

I really hope this saves someone the thirty minutes of Googlin’ it took me to figure it out.

Speaking of which, if you have a blog and would like to review our app, please email me (clay AT the Japan Shop dot c.o.m.). I don’t have many free codes left, but I’d love to get more exposure.
