Use iTunes Cards in Apple Stores

Have you ever tried to use an iTunes card in an Apple Store? You can't.
I find it odd that Apple has two kinds of gift cards. One card is for making purchases in the Apple Store or on their website. The other card is for buying digital media such as music, movies, books, and Apps on iTunes.
The trouble is, you can't use the iTunes Card to make purchases in the Apple Store or on the website. This makes it difficult for some people to tell the difference when they are picking out a gift for somebody who loves Apple products. If you intended to give somebody a card they can use towards Apple hardware, such as a Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, or an accessory, and you accidentally buy an iTunes card, they can't use it.
The mixup is a bit easier if you intended to give somebody credit towards digital media, but you accidentally bought an Apple Store Card, because you can theoretically use the Apple Store Card to purchase an iTunes Card (assuming there's a store nearby).
The solution is pretty simple. Apple should allow you to use credit in your iTunes Account to purchase hardware from the Apple Store.
To simply things even more, they should have only one card, an Apple Card, and it should work online, offline and in the iTunes Store.
