How can my child use an iTunes gift card to purchase apps instead of using my credit card?

My daughter (under 13 years of age) just redeemed her iTunes gift card she got for christmas, but there is seems to be no way she can pay with this in App Store. Can this be true? App Store says that her credit is 15 $ but my credit card is used for payments all the time...
And yes, we use Family Sharing - and yes my credit card works. But it is just no good that my credit card is being used when she has credit of her own (it was actually the point of giving her the gift card...).
Any solutions would be fantastic!     

I can't seem to figure out how to redeem it in the iTunes store?
You can't directly.
I can't seem to figure out how to use my Apple gift card to buy an itunes gift card.
Apply it in the online Apple Store to gift card purchases.

  • HT204088 How can I tell if an iTunes gift certificate I purchased for someone else has been redeemed?

    I purchased a gift certificate through the iTunes store and although I can apparently re send it, I cannot tell if it has been redeemed.
    Does anyone know the navigation to check if it has been redeemed?
    thanks

    Probably not, but go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.
    Should you ever need to resend a gift in the future, follow the procedure detailed here:

    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly ? The instructions work for me e.g. selecting a free app in the App Store app and tapping on 'free', then 'install app' and 'create new apple id' - filling in my details then gave a 'none' option on the payment details :

  • Using gift card to purchase tv shows, and not! Credit card without the "none" option being there

    i search up a show I click purchase and type in my password it asks for credit card info, it doesnf let me select none, i want to use my iTunes gift card help I'm three seconds away from throwing out my ipad :-/

    Your balance covers the the show's price (plus any applicable taxes), and it this the first time that you've tried to download something with the account ? If it is the first time, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are getting a prompt to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then you will need to enter your card details, you should be able to remove them after entering them.

    Message was edited by: Nalharby

    i think icloud should let you update your purchases so that the games will sync to your new computer and they will be backed up. i am not sure how to do this so you do not lose the levels you have completed.
    if not can you export the game to the new computer with the current settings?
    or another way is to sync to the new computer and redo all the levels you have completed again and it should take you less time?

    Thanks Onyx67

    For some reason iTunes will no longer accept PayPal or a credit card. I have called my credit card company and confirmed that they are not getting any verification request (required for them to decline). I deleted, changed, set to none, logged on, logged off--get the picture?
    I am getting the same response if I try from my iPad. I was able in between changing from a credit card to PayPal actually purchase an app on my iPad. But when I went to try it again-bam same problem.
    Any suggestions?

  • How can I get back an itunes gift code redeemed by the same gifting account?

    I gifted an aplication that I already owned to mi mail so I could resend it as needed to someone else.
    I tried right clicking in the redeem button to get the code but instead it opened itunes and automaticaly started downloading the app even wen I allredy had it downloaded and as purchased in my account. Now the gift code is expended and I'm $10 short. Is there any way I can get the code back?

  • How can i access my playlists on new harley from a file instead of using my actual ipod

    trying to use a backup file to play music on new Harley boom box. will play songs from library but not playlists.

    Hi, you have a lot of questions! Here are some articles that should help - [[Create bookmarks to save your favorite webpages]]. And - [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]. And - [[Learn more about the design of the new Firefox]].
    To export/import bookmarks: Open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup.
    You can bring up the Main menu bar temporarily by pressing Alt, or right click in the tab bar (but not on a tab) and tick/check Menu Bar if you want it to be there all the time.
    The help button is at the bottom of the 3-bar menu (question mark).
    Hope that helps!

    There have been a number of posts recently about debit cards being declined, and they are listed on this page as being a valid payment method, so I don't think that they are still accepted.
