Can I buy Lion using balance from a gift card?

I recently bought a Late 2006 iMac 17" and it's currently running 10.6.8, and I want to upgrade it to Lion, which is as high as it can go. We all know the Mac App Store only offers Maverick but you can still get it from the Apple Store site or by phone. Can I use those methods with App Store (iTunes, iBooks) gift cards as my payment method or do I need credit card? I'm not one of those who likes to use credit card a lot to avoid credit problems.

I never bothered calling so I actually found out about no-credit-card purchases on the online Apple store made using cards you buy with cash from an apple retail store and i did just that.

  • I have $8.05 balance on my gift card. I tried to buy an app more expensive than that so i had to add my credit card to the apple account. But I couldn't use the balance from the gift card anymore. How can I select to use it? or did I lose it?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The MAS should use any credits first and then apply the remainder to a listed bank card.

    Where can I find my balance from a gift card.. I did not use the full Amount

    My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)

    can you add to your balance from a credit card that is your own?

    Store credit doesn't work that way. To increase store credit you redeem a gift card or certificate.

  • Remaining balance from a gift card

    I have a remaning balance from a gift card and every time I try to buy something from my Mac they asked me to verify the billing information, and this started since I bought the iphone 5S.
    Since I created an US Apple account (in 2011) I have always bought gift cards as I don't have any credit card issued in th US. And I was allowed to create the account with other country credit card information at the time, I only was not allowed to buy/rent.
    So I need NOT to be verified to use my remaining balance...
    How to use my remaning balance without biliing verification?
    Thanks

    Can you buy add ons to a game on iphone5s with an itunes gift card ? Thank you

    If you mean in-app purchases, yes, in most cases a gift balance will work. Some apps do not accept gift balances, but I've not heard of a game where that is the case.
    Regards.

  • HT201359 Do purchases show in my purchase history if there was a store credit balance from a gift card?

    My daughter redeemed a gift card to my account but I'm wondering where I can see that credit to my account and any purchases covered by it.  I see charges in my payment history, so I assume those are  items not covered by the gift card redeemed.  Is that correct?

    All items that are bought on your account should show on your purchase history, whether they were bought via a credit card, your account's balance, both (e.g. if a balance doesn't cover the item's price) or if they were free. You can't see a list of when gift cards were redeemed, nor how purchases were paid for, you can only see the purchase history.
    Purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases
