Can Lion be purchased with a gift card

Can Lion be puchased with a gift card or gift certificate?

Like AppleGeek1990 mentioned, it needs to be an iTunes (iTunes, iBooks, or App Store branded) gard — not the grey ones with the white Apple logo on them; those are Apple (Retail) Store gift cards.

Will your credit card be charged if you make a purchase with a gift card

will your credit card be charged if you make a purchase with a gift card?

Sandy has it right, when possible gift cards are used before credit cards. For more information about gift crads can be found in iTunes Store: How to redeem an iTunes Gift Card.
When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
Free song credits are redeemed first.
If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/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.
When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.
If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.
It's been a while sense I used a gift card; but from what I remember, when you have credits from a card. There was a little bar that displayed my current balance. For instance, when I added the gift card, The balance showed as +20.00, i bough a song, the balanced changed to +19.01.
PS question about itunes should be posted in the iTunes community.

HT2736 Why can't I purchase an iTunes gift card online?

I set up an allowance for the 1st of the month but also want to give my child some money in her iTune acct now.
Is there a limit to the amount of 'gifts' you can do in a day?

I have this problem too. I bought the card with cash, redeemed it, and can't gift anything. I just got a reply from Apple Support, that they consider it 'store credit' and I can't use 'store credit' to gift an album. I'm not going to take this, I started another case, and will call and call, post and post. I find this concept for a company completely ridiculous and rotten!!
Straight from the horses mouth:
"Greetings from iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Chaitanya and I am happy to assist you today.
I understand that you are unable to gift an album. I know how important this is for you and I am glad to provide you the necessary information.
I am sorry to inform you that it is not possible to gift an album from the Store credit you need to add your credit card information to gift an album.
If you have any additional questions regarding iTunes, please let me know and I will be happy to assist you further. I hope you continue to enjoy the iTunes Store.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Chaitanya

Troubles Purchasing with iTunes Gift Card

I have recently redeemed an iTunes Gift Card, and have a balance listed beside my Apple ID.
Yet, when I visit the iTunes store to make purchases, the gift card is not recognized and I am told I have no payment mode selected.
Can anyone help me? I have been searching around but all I can find is how to redeem the card, which I have definitely done. Is there a step I have missed to make sure the card is recognized as my mode of payment?
Thanks.

Yet, when I visit the iTunes store to make purchases, the gift card is not recognized
If you have a balance, it was recognized. Simply click on Buy next to a song.
and I am told I have no payment mode selected.
When/where are you seeing this?
If you do not have any CC info entered and view your account info, you will see *No payment method* selected. This is okay.
iTunes will use your gift card balance. If you do not have a gift card balance and attempt to make a purchase, iTunes wil pop up and tell you to input a CC number.
Is there a step I have missed to make sure the card is recognized as my mode of payment?
If you view your account info, it will not show a gift card as a method of payment method.
If you have a gift card balance and are loggied into the iTunes store, you will see a balance at the top right of iTunes, below the Search box.

HT2736 Trouble purchasing with iTunes Gift Card

When I try to purchase a song with my iTunes gift card, it charges to my credit card instead. I tried hitting the "redeem" button, but because I have already typed my code in, it will not allow me to access it. How do I get the charge on my gift card instead of my credit card?

If u don't want to use your credit card, delete its info by going to app store, select Apple ID at the bottom of the page, select edit payment method, then check if your payment method is set to none. That way you will be using your iTunes credits from now on...if u run out..then it will ask you your credit card cause it will know u have one...or it will ask u to redeem an iTunes card.

HT204053 I added iTunes 15.00 purchase with a gift card 2 days ago. Though I've not received the credit.

I added $15. from a iTunes gift card, aprrox. 3 days ago. It showed that had "credit" of 15., though, now it's missing from the credit menu.

Check your purchase history. Open iTunes, click on iTunes Store in the LEFT hand column. When it loads up, select ACCOUNT from under QUICKLINKS. When your account info loads up click on MORE INFO next to PURCHASE HISTORY. Most likely the credit was applied to a past due balance.

Not able to sign up for iTunes Match with iTunes Gift Card

Last night I purchased $30.00 worth of iTunes Gift cards , redeemed the cards against my iTunes account and attempted to sign up for the iTunes Match ($24.99 per year) only to find out that I must provide a credit card on file before they will allow me to sign up. I never imaged that Apple would require a credit card on file. One of the reasons that I chose Apple products was the ability to purchase with iTunes Gift cards to reduce my risk of fraud when the account become compromised .
Also I have Apple IDs for each of my children and they receive iTunes Gift cards as presents that they purchase Apps, Music etc that they want. That way when they grow up and leave home they have their own Apple accounts to take with them. Apple should want life long Apple customers!!   Just to let you know 14 year olds don’t normally have credit cards and I would never put my Credit Card info attached to their account. So if they own a Laptop, iPhone and iPad they are discriminated from using your iTunes Match because they don’t have a credit card? Really????
Apple to just let you know that I have a Microsoft XBOX Live membership that I purchase a Live gift card once a year to renew my subscription. I can’t believe that Microsoft can figure out how to provide customers a better user experience that Apple.
Please fix this quickly as I would like to use your iTunes Match and other iCloud services that you plan on releasing later this year however I will not be using my credit card so I may have to look for other device options.   If you need any help figuring out how to meet your business requirements please let me know as I would be glad to provide suggestions.
Thank you,
The Next Steve Jobs
PS If any one over there knows a way around this please let me know.

I've been through the same ordeal. I wanted to renew my iTunes Match service, had over $100 credit in the iTunes Store, but wasn't able to use that credit to pay for the renewal. Apple requires you have a valid, working credit card on file to renew for some reason. But once you put in a credit card, the charge is actually taken from your store credit, not the credit card. So, it's very odd and doesn't make any sense to me, either. But there's no way around it without a credit card, that's what Apple Support told me when I contacted them about this same issue.

Can I purchase a iTunes gift card with a Apple Store gift card?

I purchased an apple store gift card instead of an iTunes gift card. Is there a way for me to purchase an iTunes gift card with the an Apple Store gift card?

From what I see and from my experiment in the U.S, online Apple Store, I would say that yes you can. iTunes gift cards are sold in the Apple Online store and Apple Store gift cards are an accepted form of payment on the store, so that means to me that it is possible.
Accepted forms of payment.

Read the accepted forms of payment in the lower right corner of this website.

HT4914 I have a US iTunes account but no longer have a US credit card for set up, everything I purchase is with apple gift cards, how can I activate match?

I have a US iTunes account but no longer have a US credit card for set up, everything I purchase is with apple gift cards, how can I activate match?

You will only be able to use one account at a time with the Apple TV. This will mean that you can only rent or purchase content from one account, you would need to log out and into the other account in order to rent or purchase from that.
You should however, be able to use content from both accounts in iTunes on your computer, provided that the content from the account that you are not logged into is authorised to be played on that computer. Consequently you should be able to AirPlay content from both accounts to the Apple TV from iTunes or play content from both accounts via the computer section on the Apple TV.

HT5552 I want to make a purchase with my credit card but it keeps taking it out of my account on the gift card I put in there. How can i change that?

I want to make a purchase with my charge card. But each time I buy a song it takes it immediately off of the credit I have in my account from a gift card. How can I change it to charge me for a purchase instead of taking it out of the credit I have in there?

You don't change it.
It will use any account balance first, once it is gone, then it will go to your credit card.
