How to use iTunes gift card on family Share plan

My teen age son is on our Family Share Plan and he has an iTunes gift card he wants to use to download songs.  I can't figure out a way to set this up unless I remove him from the plan and then add him back in after he has made the purchase.  Any better way to do this?

Yes, if there is credit in the iTunes account it should use that in preference to any credit cad details held (at least it always does for me).

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

    I'm sorry, but there is nothing that I can do to help you with this situation. I don't know why, but many people have problems when they try to buy gems in the Clash of Clans game. Personally, I wouldn't touch the game with a ten foot pole, but that's just my opinion.

  • HT5057 iTunes account attached to debit card. How to use iTunes gift cards without charging debit card?

    Hey everyone! I have an iTunes account and attached to that account I have a debit card. I recently got some iTunes gift cards and would like to use them as the main source to fund purchases until they run out and then go back to using my debit card. How do I do this? Do I have to delete my debit card info and add the gift card info or is there a way to keep the debit card info listed but use the gift cards first?
    Thanks so much for all your help. Not sure how to retrieve any disscussions but I'll figure it out somehow.

    You can redeem iTunes gift cards by clicking "Redeem" under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.
    Gift card credit is automatically used before your debit card, so there is no need to remove it. After your credit is used your debit card will be charged again.

  • How to use itunes gift card to buy gems on Clash of Clans (in-app purchase)?

    I recently redeemed an $10 itunes gift card. The credit shows up next to my apple ID, but when I try to purchase gems on Clash of Clans I get an error that says "Insufficient Remaining Store Credit- Tap Continue to sign in". When I sign in it wants me to enter my CC#, I do not want to use my card. Is there something I need to do to get it to work? Any help is appreciated.

    How much is the purchase you are trying to make?

  • How to use iTunes gift card in App Store

    My kids each just got an iPod touch with a gift card to iTunes ......how can they each purchase apps and things from iTunes while using my apple account? We redeemed the gift cards but I don't think it's set up right because the app price wasn't deducted from the credit total. I think my credit card will be charged instead of the iTunes gift card....

    A gift card balance is supposed to be used before the CC is charged. All you can do is contact iTunes by:

  • HT2105 I have an itunes gift card, then found out that I can not use it with my KOBO Ereader.  I was wondering if I could let someone else in my family use the balance of my gift card?  They have an IPad and they often use Itune Gift Cards to purchase mov

    I was given an itunes gift card, then found out that my KOBO Ereader will not accept the itunes gift card.  I now have this gift card with a balance on it and would like to give it to my brother (he has an IPAD and uses Itune gift cards all the time).  If he was to use my gift card (with my password) would the movie or book that he purchase show up on his devise or would it show up on mine.  Thanks for all the help

    I'm not sure what you mean. Did you redeem the gift card to your iTunes Store account? If not, just give your brother the gift card and he can redeem it in his own iTunes Store account. If you did redeem the card, then there's no way to transfer the balance from your iTunes Store account to his. He'd have to use your iTunes Store account to make the purchases and sync to his devices.
    Regards.

  • If I do not have a credit card binded to my Apple ID, will I still be able to redeem and use iTunes gift cards?

    How did you create the account ? 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.
    If you didn't use those instructions then you will need to enter card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them), or create a new account (and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it).

  • 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.
