How do you add an iTunes Gift Card so that all purchases of any members of a Family Sharing Group can use the credit?

How can all family members of a Family Sharing Group use a gift card that has been been applied to the iTunes master account? I added a gift card to our master iTunes account for my grandson, and even though he's a family sharing group member, none of the purchases I have approved from his requests have used the gift card credit. A search of the iTunes support site failed to turn up anything that even remotely addresses this topic. It would seem reasonable to assume that any purchase made by any family member should be able to use the gift card credit since all purchases go through the master account, but this does not appear to be the case.

Regarding your statement about the gift card balance being used if redeemed to the organizers account - http://www.apple.com/feedback.
Regarding redeeming the gift card to the child's account, it is the same as redeeming to yours.  You have to be signed in to the iTunes store using the child's apple ID, then redeem the gift card there.  If you already redeemed the card on your ID, you won't be able to redeem it again.

  • How do you add an iTunes Gift Card & how is it charged?

    Hey all,
    I currently pay for my iTunes downloads direct from my Debit Card. If I add a gift card to my account will the cost of downloads come from that automatically or do I need to let iTunes know thats what I want?
    Also - how do you add the card? I'm probably being totally stupid but can't seem to find an "add credit here" option.
    Help appreciated

    If you redeem an iTunes gift card, the next purchases you make up to the value of the gift card will be made from it automatically. To add the card, click here; this link will open iTunes.

  • HT2731 How do you get an iTunes gift card

    How are you suppose to get an iTunes gift card? New here

    What country are you in ? iTunes gift cards are not available in all countries, and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue), so you may not be able to buy them. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy them from Apple, and/or from electrical stores, supermarkets etc

    Try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • How do you redeem an itunes gift card.

    I ordered an itunes gift card on line from Apple for my granddaughter in California.
    She cannot seem to figure out how to redeem it. When she tries to use the number on the electronic email, it says the number is not valid. What to do? I tried to contact the Apple store with no success.

    She did not get a card. It was sent electronically. I first sent it to her email address, but she does not and cannot access itunes from her computer, so I resent it to my son's email address, but the itunes account on his computer is in her name. When he types in the number on the email, it says that it is invalid. There is no other number on it.

  • How do you change an iTunes gift card  from one account to another?

    I Want to know!

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put the balance back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of it has been spent.
    iTunes Store credit can't be spent on any sort of gift.

    How do I transfer an iTunes gift card balance to another computer?
    I redeemed an iTunes gift card on one computer in the house, but don't have a home network/sharing set up. I want to be able to use that balance on another computer in the house. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    +When I use this computer to order something, the charge is placed on my credit card that I used for the account and the iTunes card balance is not getting deducted.+
    Sounds like you live in Canada and are buying apps. Gift card in Canada can only be used for music and movies, not apps. The apps will use the credit card instead.

    You can't do it yourself. If you've just redeemed it and not spent any of it then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can move it the other account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
