    Yes, promo codes are only for the US store. I personally don't know why Apple decided to do this, but this is how it is.

    I've seen only one instance where a promo code offered in this forum was for a non-US App Store. Other than that case, it appears to be all US for now.

    No. When you gift an app it takes money out of the account, which means you would need to have money in the US account.

    Plus, you can only gift apps to accounts in the same country.

    Actually, you can make a US account [no credit card needed] and just use it to redeem those promos. That's what pretty much everyone else does.

    If I made a US account would I be able to put those games on my iPhone along with my UK account games ?
