Apple is offering U.S. customers who purchase and redeem an Apple Gift Card three months of free access to Apple Arcade.
Holiday gift card purchases made before January 6, 2026 are eligible for the Apple Arcade trial, as long as the card is redeemed by January 13, 2026. The promo is only for new Apple Arcade customers, not current ones.
There’s no minimum amount required for the gift card purchase, and it can be obtained from the Apple retail store or Apple online store.
