After using an itunes gift card, itunes is declining my credit card information

I recieved a gift card, and I have now spent all of the money on it. I tried to purchase a song today and itunes keeps declining my credit card information every time I try. I dont understand why, as I have used gift cards many times before and this hasn't happened.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. It sounds like you had a gift card which you fully used. Now your regular credit card is being declined. Is that correct? It's not likely that the use of the gift card had anything to do with your credit card being declined. Did you have your credit card replaced at some time since you first set up your iTunes account? You can go into your iTunes account information and double check to make sure your information is correct. Apart from that, you will need to contact Apple to get it sorted out.

How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card
My ipod told me that i had to put in a credit card and because of that i put in my moms wit her permission. but the thing is i do not want to use the money on her credit card. i hav a 10 dollar itunes gift card in it already and none of it is used up. i want to use that money
how do i do it

Open iTunes on your computer. In the iTunes Store log into your iTunes Store account and view your account. Select Edit Payment Information. In the credit card choices I would choose None. That will remove your Mom's CC info. Next under iTunes Gift Cards and Certificates click the little arrow to redeem your Gift Card. Then follow the instrction to redeem your GC.
You can also do this on your iPod, but it is more complicated to describe how to do it and to actually do it. It is easier to do in the iTunes on your computer.

If I have an iTunes gift card already redeemed on my account, than how do I buy a song using the money from the gift card instead of charging my credit card?

Hi, in my case It did not use the balance first. I had balance but it used my credit card. Do I have to sign in Itunes first? Thanks.

Hi Kim ...
Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.

You don't need an international credit card, to be able to buy items from your country's store (you can't use another country's store) the card needs to have been issued by a bank in your country and be registered to your name and address. If you only want to be able to download free app from your country's store then there are instructions on this page for creating a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

Can I use a gift card to pay of my credit card balance? I bought a song off iTunes and I forgot to redeem my gift card before doing so.

Hi everyone,
As you can tell from the topic of the discussion, I was just wondeirng if there's any way to use a gift card to pay off a credit card balance?
It's not a huge problem as I only bought one song, lol, but it'd be nice to know if I can use my gift card to pay off the balance. I forgot to redeem my gift card before purchasing >_<. Smart I know. So please, if some one knows the answer to reply back. Thanks!

Is there any way I can do it without using a credit card? Even if I can go somewhere to get it done?

I am unable to buy on itunes as I live in France and use an English credit card which is registeredwh to my French address. itunes UK don't like the French address, itunes France don't like the English credit card. Any ideas on how to buy?

Go to a place in France and purchase an iTunes gift card. You should be able to use that in the French iTunes store if you have a French address associated with your iTunes account.

Is it an account that you've just created ? If it is, 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. You should be able to remove the card's details after entering them.
If you are being prompted to review the 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

what you should do if you dont want to use a credit card is to buy an itunes card and that will allow you to bypass using your credit card

I purchased an app last night but instead of deducxting the credit from my itunes gift card balance, it charged my credit card instead. Why? (I don't live in Canada)

I've seen this question a dozen times, and nearly every time, the first person to answer assumes it was a gifted purchase. Weird.
Same problem here. Books are going to credit card despite sufficient balance on iTunes credit. Seems to be a common problem.

HT1918 Use gift card balance before charging to credit card

How can I set the payment to default to using my gift card balance before charging my credit card?
I redeemed a few gift cards a couple of days ago and have a balance to draw from, yet the charge for the items I've ordered since then have hit my credit card, and that's not what I wanted to happen. I wouldn't have made those purchases if I knew that.

Purchases should always be deducted from your credit balance first unless you're buying a gift for someone. Assuming you were indeed not buying a gift for someone else - gifts cannot be purchased using a credit balance - another user in the forums posted this as the reply from the iTunes Store when this issue was brought up. Perhaps it will help you. If problems persist, contact the iTunes Store:

I'm sorry you weren't able to make a purchase using your store credit. To purchase items on the iTunes Store with your store credit, your account information in your user profile needs to be corrected. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
1) Visit the My Apple ID website at: http://appleid.apple.com
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner. When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store using your store credit.

I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store. Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

ITunes / AppStore problem: I live in Colombia, my apple ID and iTunes account are set in Colombia, but each time I try to register my Colombian credit card it tells me my credit card is not valid for the store. How can I fix this?
