HT5035 Why did iphone app purchase did not use store credit balance?

I just downloaded a new app on my iphone but it asked for me to verify my billing info. I did so and then checked in iTunes and I still have a balance from a gift card. Why was the balance not used?

  • Why block an account simply for not using its cred...

    I use Skype every couple of weeks - but I haven't needed to make a paid call for a long time. Now when I try to, I find my account has been 'blocked' - though only for paid calls. So I can't use my credit balance without jumping through Skype's 'account unblocking' hoops and waiting for you to deign to give me access to my own money.
    What possibile justification is there for blocking an account like this - not for being abused, but simply for not being used?

    I think you may need to contact customer service to clarify why your account is blocked, and also to know what your possible options are . Just open the link pasted below to see the instructions on how to get in touch with customer service -

  • Purchasing gift music using store credit

        I know now why I got rid of my apple ipad, if apple would be less anal and make things easy to use and allow you to use whats rightfully yours it might be a product for the future. Right, frustration over.
    I used to have an Ipad, but I couldn't live with the restrictions and the apple big brother approach, so I very quickly sold it. In the time that I did have it, someone bought me a £50 iTunes card. A couple of years later and I still have half the value in credits on the Itune store. My youngest daughter, despite my warnings had acquired an iphone of her sister and I want to move MMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYY credits (money) from my account to hers, but apple appear to be withholding MY money and wont let me do it. If this was a bank we would have them in court for it.
    I have tried using the credits to purchase an item to gift her, but even this doesn't work. Does any one know how to do this ??
    Frustrated in the UK

    You can't use your account's balance to gift items, nor an amount, to another account - it can only be used to buy content for your account. You can either use the money to buy content on your account and let her use your account, or try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund your balance : iTunes Gift balances - Apple Support
    You can't redeem or return iTunes Gift Cards, Gift Certificates, and unused store credit balances for cash except as required by law. If your jurisdiction allows for refund of redeemed gift balances, you can request a refund by contacting iTunes Store Support, selecting a support category and topic, and including the following information in your request detail:
    Apple ID (this is your iTunes Store account name)
    Store credit refund amount
    Current shipping address
    Additional information may be requested for verification purposes.
    Whether that applies here in the UK I don't know.

  • HT2534 Where did the option go to not use a credit card for Apple ID?

    I downloaded itunes and began to make an Apple ID on iTunes. When I saw that it required a credit card, I came to this support site http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534. I followed the instructions for a computer but found that there was no option 'NONE' on the billing page. I then tried making an Apple ID online and that worked, but when I tried to use that ID to log on to iTunes it still required a credit card. I could only use the account for discussions. I don't have a credit card, and nor was I planning on purchasing anything. I simply wanted to keep CD's on it and maybe some free books/music. Did this option change for the new version of iTunes or am I doing something wrong?

  • How can I purchase an iPhone app that is not available in the AppStore I'm registered in but is available in another country's AppStore?

    Hello, guys. My problem is that I want to purchase an iPhone app that is not available in my AppStore(s). I am registered in the Japanese and Russian AppStores, and the app I want is available only in the American AppStore. Do I have to change my AppStore for this? And how can I do it? Or do I have to create a new Apple ID for the American AppStore? I tried to do the latter, but it requires a billing address located in the US, which I don't have. What are my options?
    Thank you in advance.

    No worries. The forums can be a bit confusing to navigate at first.
    You might want to contact the developer of the app in which your interested and suggest they offer it in your country. There may be reasons they can't but if they can and they know there's interest, they just might.
    Best of luck.

  • HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated.  There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.
