Can i use a Gift card for in game purchases instead of my credit card?
Ive never used a apple giftcard before and im curious if i can use the giftcard as a primary use to charge on it instead of my credit card, can someone please help me out.
Hi Brookers23,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For information on how iTunes Store purchases are billed, please refer to the attached article.
How iTunes Store purchases are billed - Apple Support
Which payment methods will be used first?
When you make a purchase, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits. Your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
Free song credits are redeemed first.
If you have no free song credits, then your gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
Cheers,
Joe

No. iTunes/Mac App Store gift cards are only for the stores for the country in which they are sold. You cannot use them across regional/national boundaries.

HT201209 Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks?
Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks? How?
Yes, I've used them to buy from the ibookstore, app store, iTunes and the Mac App Store. They can be used in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (or via your computer's iTunes) in the same way as you use your account's balance to buy music or apps - so you first need to redeem a gift card so that it gets added to your account, and you can then buy things from the stores with it.

How can I use a gift card on App Store?
How can I use a gift card on App Store?
If it's an iTunes gift card, as opposed to an Apple Store gift card (which can only be used in Apple stores and the Apple online store), then you can redeem it onto your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
And as long as you are buying content for yourself (you can't use an account's balance for gifting content) then your balance should be automatically used for your purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance. -

How can I use my gift card to purchase? It says i already redeemed it but I haven't used the money in it.
Does any balance show on your account ? 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 iOS 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 Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
You can check your account's purchase history via your computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store
If this is the first time that you've tried to download anything from the store, then unless you followed the instructions on this page when creating your 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 message 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 -
