HT2736 gifted apps billing credit card instead of iTunes ballance

I have recently gifted apps to my boyfried and sister, but instead of taking the money out of my remaining balance, iTunes keeps charging my credit card. Is there a way I can fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Gifts can only be purchased with a credit card.

  • Can't gift app without credit card

    i would like to gifting an app and my count has credits from App card i redemed, but when i'm gifting it ask me for my credit card information and not using my account balance.

    You can't use store credit to gift items, you can only do so via a credit card : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2736
    If you want to put more thought into giving an iTunes Store gift than sending a Gift Certificate or iTunes Gift Card, give a specific iTunes Gift. This allows you to personally pick a song (or create a playlist of songs), album, video, audiobook, or app to send to someone. You will need a credit card to make the purchase.

  • Gifting apps without credit card

    Is there a way for the gift cost to come out of money that is on your account from a gift card rather than the credit card on file?

    No. Apple doesn't allow it.

  • HT201359 Why was my Gifted App charged to my Card instead of iTunes Store credit balance?

    Why was my Gifted App charged to my Card instead of iTunes Store credit balance?
    I purchased 2 apps.
    One for myself which was billed to existing iTunes account Credit, and the second one (same app) was gifted to my girlfriend, but that was billed to my card, even though there was plenty of funds left on iTunes store credit.
    Why?

    You cannot use your balance for gifting content, that can only be used for buying items for yourself - your credit card will be charged for any gifting that you do

    I've seen this question a dozen times, and nearly every time, the first person to answer assumes it was a gifted purchase. Weird.
    Same problem here. Books are going to credit card despite sufficient balance on iTunes credit. Seems to be a common problem.

  • HT2736 purchase on credit card instead of redeem

    Having an iTunes credit on the account, how can a purchase be made using the account credit card instead?

    The only way is by seeing if you can gift the item to yourself (I haven't tried it but I think that it should work), as described on the HT2736 page that you posted from - for 'normal' purchases your balance will automatically be used and you can't change that.

  • Paying for itunes with a credit card instead of gift card

    I currently have $ on an itunes gift card and this gift card's balance is on my itunes.  I got an email from Am. Ex. that if I use $5.00 on my credit card on itunes, I GET $5.00 for itunes.  Problem is, every time I download a song it comes off my gift card balance.  How do I change to the Am Ex credit card on file to pay for my songs instead of the gift card?

    Really late on this, but just in case anyone has this question: anytime you "gift" something on the itunes store to someone else, it charges your credit card instead of your gift card. Simply send the "gift" to your own email (perhaps not associated with your apple ID) and then just redeem the code it sends you in your itunes account

    How can I get on the apps store without a debit/credit card or an itunes gift card?
    I can't get any of these, it's impossible for me to.
    HELP PLEASE.

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • Pay with Credit Card Instead of Gift Card?

    I have already credited my iTunes account with a gift card and there is still a balance on it. Is there any way that I can choose to pay with my credit card instead of my gift card balance? Thanks for any help!

    That's unfortunate. Is there any way that I can temporarily clear my balance somehow? American Express is doing a promotion for free songs on iTunes but you have to pay with your AmEx card in order to get the songs for free. So, if I currently have a gift card balance then I would have to burn through that first in order for iTunes to charge my AmEx. Any one have any experience trying to do this?

  • What happens if I have a credit card and an iTunes gift card in the App Store

    What happens if I have a credit card and an iTunes gift card in the App Store And I buy an app? Does the iTunes gift card get deducted or does it get charged my credit card?

    The gift card balance will be deducted unless you gift that application.

  • HT1918 How do I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit balance?

    My credit card is offering me a $5 statement credit if I spend at least $5 on iTunes.  Problem is I have a large credit balance - how can I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit?

    If you have a balance on your iTunes account then that will automatically be used for purchases before your credit card will be - you can't change how items are billed.
    You could try gifting items to yourself, you can only gift via a credit card (I haven't tried it but I think that you should be able to gift items to yourself)

  • Paying for Cards App without Credit Card

    Is there any way to pay for the card I made in the Cards App without a credit card? I set my account information to "No Credit Card" but Cards keeps telling me I am missing information. I have enough iTunes Credit to pay for it why can't I use that?
