HT1918 Gift Card vs. Credit Card

My son received a gift card for Christmas and it is showing a balance of $15.00 in the iTunes store, but when he tries to purcahse music it wants current credit card information.  We do not want to have a credit card attached to this account.  How do we just use the gift card?

    Yes you can redeem the card if it is a U.S. gift card, you have a U.S. based iTunes account and if you are using the U.S. stores on the iPad.
    On the iPad - Swipe to the bottom of the screen in the App Store or in iTunes and tap on Redeem. If you are using iTunes on your computer, you should see Redeem under Quick Links (i think that is where you will see it) after you sign into the store.

  • Why i cant send itunes gift using my credit card?

    Why i cant send itunes gift using my credit card?

    What happens when you try to send a gift ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support when trying to send it then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
    - go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
    - click on your country's flag
    - click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
    - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    - then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If it's a different problem ... ?

    Why do you need to create a new account?
    Just change the payment method.

  • HT204088 how do i get free apps without putting in itunes card, or credit card

    wondering how i can get free apps without putting in itunes card or credit card, wont let me do this....

    Is it a new account ? If it is then unless you use the instructions on this page when creating a new 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 - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.
    If you don't have a credit card then you will need to create a new account, and this time use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via http://appleid.apple.com
    Creating an account with 'none' as the payment method :

  • HT1918 Trying to remove credit card from itunes account

    Trying to remove credit card from daughters itunes account. I erase the billing information and click continue but it will not allow me to exit and save without putting some kind of billing information.There is no "None" option for me to select. What can I do?

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • HT1918 How to remove credit card info

    Usually use gift cards to purchase; however, temporarily used my credit card to purchase music.  Want to delete card info, but the only option is to edit.  Called apple, but they stated no live tech support for iTunes.   How do I remove card info from my account?

    Click "Account" under Quick Links in the iTunes Store.
    From the account information page click "Edit" next to payment information and then select "None" under payment method.

  • HT1918 Why is my credit card being charged for Apps when my daughter has an iTunes card?

    Why is my credit card getting charged for my daughter's apps for her iPod when she has $8 on an iTunes card left to use?

    Login to the account on iTunes and under payment info, select none for the credit card. iTunes is supposed to use gift cards and store credit over credit cards but it doesn't.

  • Do gift recipients need credit card to open account

    I already have an account with my cc info but I want to gift a tv series to my in-laws who are (thankfully) cautious about putting their cc info anywhere on the internet. If I gift them the tv show for use on their imac, will they have to supply credit card info? I know they've probably never opened their copy of itunes.

    No.
    They can redeem your gift to create an account.

  • Gift card not credit card

    My daughter is trying to set up an apple account to cash in her itunes gift card. the help site says

    Hi David ,
    In the Quick Links window in the right-hand column of iTunes Store, click Redeem.
    In the resulting screen, enter the 16-digit code printed on the back of the card (it starts with an "X"), then click Redeem.
    In the resulting screen, create your new iTunes Store account. You will have the option to enter credit card information; if you do not wish to do so, click the None button on the Payment screen ( end of 1st row of payment types) .
    Once you've successfully redeemed your gift card, the credit amount will appear next to your account name in the upper-right corner of iTunes Store. Each time you purchase items, iTunes will deduct funds from the credit until it's depleted.

  • HT1918 Can i use credit card from other country to paid my unpaid bills in apple store?

    Can i use other credit card from other country to pay my unpaid bill in apple store?
    I cannot upadate or download bcoz of my unpaid bill!

    You can only use a credit card that is issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are based. If you don't have one of those then are iTunes gift cards available in your country ?

  • Possible to charge both itunes gift card and credit card

    I'm trying to pre-order a CD that costs $14.99 but I only have $7.08 left on my gift card. If I go through and pre-order it will itunes charge the purchase to my CC alone or will it take the $7.08 from my gift card and then take the remaining balance from my CC?

    It will take the remaining balance of your credit and then charge your credit card for the rest.
    Regards.

  • Buying with gift card and credit card

    I got a gift card and redeemed it. I now have $7.33 left credited to my account. When I try to purchase anything that costs more than that, it won't allow me. Is there a way to purchase music/movies using the credits and charging the remaining balance to my credit card?

    Yes. Just input your credit card in the iTunes account info.
    It will use the gift card money first and charge the difference to your card.
    After your download is complete, you can remove your CC info in the account if you want.
