Like most mobile games, Pokemon GO has an in-app shop full of items that vary in use. Some are essential to gameplay and can be earned through other methods and others are purely aesthetic and are just used to make an avatar stand out. Either way, most trainers won't pass up an opportunity to get a handful of items for free when the opportunity arises.

Pokemon GO frequently includes free bundles in the shop that trainers can simply click to redeem, but sometimes there are larger bundles of items given away for other occasions. These items are usually redeemed with a promo code for various reasons, so players should be aware of how to cash in the code for the correct items if the opportunity ever comes up for them.

Redeeming promo codes varies a bit in difficulty depending on each trainer's login method and device of choice. Players who use an Android device have the easiest method, since they can redeem promo codes directly in the app. Apple users, on the other hand, are going to have to head to a web browser to cash in on a promo code, so the process can get a little bit confusing.

For anyone who has a promo code on hand and isn't quite sure how to turn it into a bundle of items, here are the various methods depending on login method and device...
