ITunes gift card with pre-paid VISA

Apple is REALLY starting to frusterate me!
Okay so, I linked a pre-paid VISA card to my iTunes account (BIG MISTAKE) and I currently have under a dollar left on it. I recently got a $15 iTunes gift card as a present and I redeemed it and it says that I have $15 on my iTunes account. But, when I ty to purchase TweetBot ($2.99), it tells me my credit card has been declined. Why does this happen? Does Apple just ignore the gift card and go straight to paying for the app with my VISA?
EDIT:
As dumb as I sound right now, I removed my VISA from my account so that problem is fixed. But now It says "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed, For assistance, contact iTunes Support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/." How do I fix this now?

You will need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
In terms of the pre-paid Visa card, I don't think that you will be able to use them, a credit card needs to be registered to the name and address that you have on your iTunes account so that it can be verified.

  • ITunes gift card and Pre-paid credit card in Canada

    So I recently bought a 2Gen iTouch and wanted to buy some apps. I bought a iTunes gift card. I set up a iTunes account and went through all the proccess's and redeemed my gift card. It said successful and promted me with my account balance. I tried buying a app and was promted with enter credit card information. I don't have one. But i read the forums and found out that i cannot buy applications in canada, only music and videos.
    So now i have non-refundable money on my account with the sole purpose of getting applications. Now my question is that if i get a Pre-paid credit card from anywhere will it work? or does it have to be an actual Master card/Visa?

    "So there is no way to buy apps with the itunes card?"
    Not in Canada.

  • 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.

  • Can and how do you buy an iTunes gift card with an Apple Store gift card?

    Hi. I received an Apple Store gift card as a gift and really want to buy an iTunes gift card with it. I looked it up and nothing returned, so just checking here to see if you guys know anything. Thanks!

    Apple Store Gift Cards can purchase this -
    Use your Apple Store Gift Card for the purchase of a new iPad, iPhone, Mac, or anything else at the Apple Online Store or Apple Retail Store.
    Basicly the Apple store gift card is for purchases such as devices/accessories etc.
    Sorry, to purchase an iTunes gift card will need another way to do so

  • Can I purchase a iTunes gift card with a Apple Store gift card?

    I purchased an apple store gift card instead of an iTunes gift card. Is there a way for me to purchase an iTunes gift card with the an Apple Store gift card?

    From what I see and from my experiment in the U.S, online Apple Store, I would say that yes you can. iTunes gift cards are sold in the Apple Online store and Apple Store gift cards are an accepted form of payment on the store, so that means to me that it is possible.
    Accepted forms of payment.

    Is it possible to use my ITunes Gift card with a new apple ID, that I am trying to create?  I keep getting a message that says "Invalid Code"

  • How to buy Gems of clash of clan with itune gift card with singapore apple ID

    Hello, MirriamMon.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand you are unable to purchase items from the iTunes Store as it  is requiring your old credit card information.  You can try and change your payment method to none and see if it will allow you to make a purchase using your gift car.  However, if there are any outstanding balances, you will be required to enter credit or debit card information before you can make purchases.  
    Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?
    Cheers, 
    Jason H.

  • Seperate Apple IDs for seperate Itunes gift cards with one Icloud account

    My wife and I both have Iphone 4s and we have one central Itunes account with all of our music on one Icloud account.   We like to listen to "OUR SHARED" music on each of our Iphone's.  Now here is our major problem:
    We each have recieved Itunes gift cards and would really like to keep the spending sepearate but both of us have access to music and videos to each of us have purchased.  We would like the ability to share the music between the two of us.  We are trying to avoid the accident of purchasing the same song twice for example.  Waste of money in my opinion. 
    I have spoken to a few apple helpers at the local apple store and were said you can do just look up the Apple support commnities.  But I have not found any luck.
    I then went ahead and spoke to two Apple tech support by phone one said she was not sure then the second which was a manager said that the Icloud is not made for music it is only made for contacts, notes, backup iphone or ipad, etc. 
    I thought she was full of hot air.  We can download all of our music through Itunes match in the icloud.  I tried to explain to her but she was oblivious.  Sad that someone in the Apple Tech support does not know her own product. 
    This is the first time in four years I have become semi frustrated with an apple product.  Everything else has been awesome to date. 
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app.  It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.

  • HT201209 How do I add more money to an iTunes gift card with a balance already on it?

    I have an iTunes gift card and I was wondering how I add more money onto it?

    You don't add money to a gift card. Once you redeem a card, that card's amount will be added to and stored in your iTunes Store account on Apple's servers and you can throw the card away. If you want to thereafter add to that balance, just redeem another gift card to that same iTunes Store account.
    Regards.

  • How can I use a U.S. iTunes gift card with Cdn registration?

    System does not recognize U.S. code on gift card on the Canadian site and I do not know how to cancel my Canadian registration so that I can set up a U.S. registration. I have addresses in both countries so it appears I should be able to register and buy songs when I have gift cards in both U.S. and Canadian dollars and depending on which country I am in.

    Gift card are country specific. You can not use any country's gift card in another country.
    You cannot buy from another country's itunes store either.
    You may be able to sell your itunes card to someone in the U.S. and buy a Canadian itunes card.

    I Wanted to buy itunes gift card but instead I got apple store gift card accidentally how can I buy itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

    You can't from Apple, they don't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card. You could see if a different store in your country might let you (though they possibly won't), or try selling the card to somebody e.g. family, friend, eBay etc
