On Apple's other app platforms you redeem promo codes right in the respective App Stores. On the Apple TV, perhaps out of respect for how difficult entering alphanumeric sequences would be with the Siri Remote, you redeem your promo codes on iOS or iTunes.

If you have an iOS device handy, it's easiest to redeem right there.
- Launch the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap on the Featured tab.
