How do you use an iTunes gift card for in-app purchases?

My kids received iTunes gift cards for christmas and want to use the $$ towards in-app purchases in Clash of Clans. We've already redeemed the cards to their iTunes accounts. Now they want to use them within the app.
How do they do this? If they try to purchase something it seems to just go against a credit card, and not give them the option to use the iTunes credit.
Please help!
Thanks,
PinoFamily

I entered the code and applied to my apple account, so I assume I already have the credit.  When I tried to make an in-app purchase, it asked me for my password again. 
How do I know if the in-app purchase is deducting from the redeem credits or from my credit cards.
Also, is it possible to check the remaining balance of the iTunes gift card?  This is the 1st time I deal with apple gift card... Quite confusing...
Please kindly advise.
Thank you for your attention.
Purchases are always deducted from the credits first.  Look at the menu bar at the top for remaining credit.  My credit is $23.59.

  • Can you use one itunes gift card for multiple app stores?

    if i had one gift card and used only $10 of it, can i give the balance to a friend?

    No. To use the iTunes gift card you redeem the card, which puts the entire balance of the card as a credit for you to use on your account.

    How do you use an iTunes gift card on ipad2? If anyone could answer it would be greatly appreciated

    You just find an app you want to buy and buy it. The money should deduct from the card balance.
    If you're afraid of it going on your credit card delete your card. (I'm presuming that you can. I set up my iTunes before you had to have a credit card and all I use are gift cards)

  • Why can't I use my Itunes gift card for iphoto booth purchase?

    I created a Christmas card and I thought that I could use my itune gift card since I have an apple and everything is hooked up to it and it never allowed me to enter in my gift card number.. why?

    Only Apple can answer a question like that, have you tried asking them?

  • 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 use an iTunes gift card without creating an account?

    Just gave an iTunes gift card to my parents, as they do not use their credit cards on the internet at all. But I've run into a problem... I can't seem to figure out how to purchase music with the gift card. Every time I try to purchase something it asks me to create a new account, and register a credit card to that account.
    I could have sworn there was a way to purchase music with a gift card, and no credit card at all. Is there something I am missing here?

    Am I on the wrong screen or is there a different path to follow to get to the same result?

    Did you redeem the gift card first? You have to have something to set up an account gift card or credit card.

  • How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card

    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.

  • How Do I Use An iTunes Gift Card?

    I was given an iTunes gift card for Christmas.  It says: "Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store.  Click Redeem."  I am then instructed to scratch off the label and enter the gift code number.  I am then to download my content "and enjoy."
    I would like to "enjoy."  The only problem is, when I open iTunes and click on iTunes Store, there isn't any "Redeem" opton available anywhere.  I'm not going to list everthing that appears on the drop-down menu under iTunes Store, but "Redeem" isn't one of them, and I can't find "Redeem" anywhere else on the home page for the Store.
    So how do I use an iTunes gift card?

    Problem solved.  It seems I did not have the most recent version of iTunes.  Once I updated to the current version, the "Redeem" link appeared.  I'm not going to tell you how old my existing version was.  Let's just say I was a tad out of date.
    Thanks so much for your response.  Now I can "enjoy."
    I went in, clicked on Redeem, plugged in the gift card number and, voila! - my account has been credited with the amount of the card.  I am good to go.

  • Can you use an itunes gift card to purchase ibooks?

    Can you use an itunes gift card to purchase ibooks on your iphone? If yes, how? When I attempt to purchase a book it automatically appears that it will automatically charge my stored card.
    Thanks!

    To use an iTune Gift Card to buy books...
    Open iTunes on your computer and click on the iTunes Store.
    You'll need to be signed in...
    Click on the little House icon in the dark gray bar across the top. (or Shift+Command+H)
    On the right side of the page under Quick Links click Redeem and enter your code.
    Then it will show your credit balance in the dark gray bar across the top next to your account name to let you know how much you have to spend.
    Then as you buy books, it'll deduct from the credit balanace.
    There is a distinction between, iTunes Gift Card and Apple Gift Card.
    Apple Gift Card: can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store...
    iTunes Gift Card: To give music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, or anything on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the iBooks Store or the Mac App Store, select an iTunes Gift Card

  • HT201209 Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase something actually in an app? (Like buy coins in the app and use your gift card)

    Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase things actually in an app? (Buy "coins" using the gift card?)

    No idea, but it seems like you should be able to. You can give it a try, but will have to figure out some way around the automatic 1-click ordering that the App Store now does by default.
    It certainly seems like something deserving of a feedback form submission, though ...

  • Can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts?

    can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts? on two different computers?

    A Gift card will add a specified amount of mony to an iTunes account identified with a specific Apple ID (email address and password combination).
    If that Account is set up on both Devices, then they will share the money balance in that account. And can purchase things in the store with that balance.
