Absolutely. It's a few years since I last bought iTunes gift cards for less than 20% off.
It's especially good at the supermarkets. In Tesco, if you buy £100 you get 300 clubcard points (worth at least £6 if you double them up) plus 4p a litre off your fuel on top of any discount that they may offer. If you use cash back when buying from iTunes then it's pretty easy to get 35% off all your iTunes purchases.
For that reason, a 25% discount like this is actually not that attractive.
Worked fine on my iPad, and after payment you get a link that goes straight into iTunes do redeem the code that you received. I suppose it helps if you have PayPal payment set up before doing all this.
Now my wife can play Candy Crush up to level 2,500 or so!

Yes. Music, videos, video rentals, ebooks, audiobooks, Mac apps, iOS apps. If you pay annually for iTunes Match or if you pay for extra iCloud storage, you also save 25%.

Argos and Boots do this from time to time (usually 20%). This is the second time that I got 25% off from PayPal. Now we always hear complaints about evil Apple taking 30% of all app purchases, but if I pay £100 worth of apps and music, PayPal receives £75, heaven knows what Apple gets but I would assume it's less than £75 because PayPal is not a charity _and_ has to pay bank charges, and the developers get £70, so that's not much to run the app store on.

Could you explain what the problem is?
Once one does it they all tend to follow. It's worth keeping an eye on hotukdeals.co.uk, though the anti apple bias of some members is annoying.
Hmm not working for me, but I only have a USA billing address. (I use the iTunes UK store because they have some songs not in the US store).
Is it working for anyone right now? Or does anyone know if my USA address is causing it to fail? In the past I think I've just gotten UK gift cards from eBay.

every news place always gets filled with them and then calling us iSheep - by the way Although I'm Welsh I don't spend all my time with the sheep Keep an eye out around the sort of times that people are buying gifts (mothers day, fathers day etc). I think the last sale I saw was just before the school holidays started with the advertising saying about buying something for teachers.
There are usually good deals around Christmas as well.
The Tesco deals are the best. You can double up with the points you have accumulated. The last time I stocked up on iTunes cards they came at a 50% discount.
As said earlier, discounts are available almost always at about 20% off, either at supermarkets, Boots or via the online resellers.
They had sold out when I went to buy one. I got one last time though.
Could have done with some with all the money I've spent in the past week alone on iTunes and App Store purchases.
