ITunes won't use my gift card balance to purchase apps.

I have a $12 balance from a $15 gift card and twice I've tried to buy an app & it won't deduct from the gift card balance. What do I need to do? Is it just certain apps (Wipeout & Plants vs Zombies)?

Thanks, Dah veed.  I'm more concerned that it's not taking the balance...which it still isn't happening.  There are select apps it will take from the gift card balance and then others it won't.  There is a $7.04 balance...and then she bought appls & songs and it was all charged to my account. 
I think I'm going to have to reach out to Apple.

  • Can I buy on iTunes and not use my gift card balance for one transaction?

    I have a $40 gift card balance on iTunes. Now I need to buy an app for work and put it on my corporate card. But if I buy the app on iTunes, it will come out of my gift card balance. Is there a way to say "don't use my gift card balance for this transaction?"

    Apple doesn't allow that. They've never said why.

  • How do i use my gift card balance to pay for a purchase?

    I redeemed my gift card and it shows the balance by my name in the top right hand corner but when I select a song to purchase, it wants me to enter my security code on my credit card instead of using the gift card balance.

    This is how itunes verifies your account.

  • I have a 16 year I support that lives in Haiti. He has a computer, but is not able to charge on a credit card.  If I purchase prepaid Itunes gift cards, is he able to set up a Itunes account and use these gift cards. That would be his only method of pay

    Hi judifrom!
    I have some links for you that can help shed some light on the subject of gifting through iTunes and Apple IDs. The first can be found in this link:
    Gifting - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/help/gifting
    and the relevant information in that link can be found right here:
    Gift Cards and Certificates are valid for use only in the country in which they were purchased. Only residents of the U.S may redeem gift certificates purchased in the U.S.
    You can still help them set up an Apple ID without payment information so that they can download free items through the iTunes store though. The steps for performing that can be found in the following article:
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Purchase content without using remaining gift card balance.

    Hello, I currently have a gift card balance remaining on my iTunes account, but I was wondering if there is a way to purchase content from the iTunes Store without using this balance for the specific purchase I have in mind?

    Sorry but no, there isn't. If you have a balance, the iTunes Store will use that balance automatically.
    Regards.

  • How do I use my gift card balance

    I followed directions and clicked on the Redeem button.  I entered my card number.  I show a $100 balance.  When I try to purchase music, it only takes me to my credit card information.  There appears to be no way to pay with my gift card balance.  How do I purchase music on iTunes with a gift card?

    You still need to confirm the credit card information that is associated with your account. Once you do that when you make a purchase it will be taken from the gift card amount. The most common bit of information you need to confirm is the security code for the CC.

  • How can I pay my auto renewal without using my gift card balance

    My auto renewal is up in about 2 weeks. However, I don't want it to pull from my current gift card balance. Is there a way to pay for it seperately?

    Unfortunately no. About the only thing to do is buy another gift card for the service amount and redeem that.

  • About the gift card balance after purchasing an item

    My apple gift card balance remain the same after I purchase an iPhone.
    I want to buy an iPod now, using my gift card and a debit card.
    But I can not use it without minus the money used by the iPhone!
    Help me!

    iTunes gift cards can't be used to purchase hardware (iPhones, iPods, etc), they can only be used to buy content from the iTunes store (music, films, tv shows, audiobooks), the ibookstore, app store and Mac app store.

  • How do I use my gift card balance on Apple TV to rent movies

    I have balance on my I tunes gift card that I entered on my apple account.
    When I try to purchase a movie on Apple TV it wants to charge my credit card.
    How do I add gift card to Apple TV ?

    If it's signed into the same iTunes account then it will use the credit automatically, is there a message that is giving you the impression it wants to use your credit card?

  • HT5035 Redeemed $10 gift card. Then gifted $14.99 album to a friend and it charged my credit card the total and did not use the gift card balance!

    The gift card was supposed to be charged first, then the 4.99 to my credit card. Now I have an unused $10 gift card, which I wanted to get rid of, and got charged $14.99. I want my money back and I want the gift card used instead.

    It's not supposed to. Gifts will always be charged to the credit card; the gift card money is for your use and nobody else's. This includes the purchase of gift cards and certificates, and money used for an iTunes allowance.

  • Not able to use Apple Gift card for buying ipad apps

    Hello all.
    I recently bought online a 200$ Apple Gift Card for buying apps for the iPAD.
    I can't seem to be able to do that. My gift card has a number and a pin. Does this mean I can only use it phisically to buy in the store?
    I just want to buy apps.
    Thanks!

    You do need an iTunes-Gift Card instead - Your card can be used for shopping at the Apple Online Store.

  • Can't use my gift card balance

    It says I still have 8 dollars in my account, but every time I try to buy a song, it takes me to billing info.
    Wth?

    If you got a card attached to the account and it is expired it may be the case if so update it or if can opt to not use a card. If that is not it any other errors?
