My credit card was charged instead of iTunes gift card?

So I recently just got a $10 iTunes gift card. I redeemed it in the iTunes store, but when I went to buy a book for 8.99, I think it charged my credit card instead of the money on my iTunes card! It still says I have $10.00 left, what do I do?

HT5057 iTunes account attached to debit card. How to use iTunes gift cards without charging debit card?

Hey everyone! I have an iTunes account and attached to that account I have a debit card. I recently got some iTunes gift cards and would like to use them as the main source to fund purchases until they run out and then go back to using my debit card. How do I do this? Do I have to delete my debit card info and add the gift card info or is there a way to keep the debit card info listed but use the gift cards first?
Thanks so much for all your help. Not sure how to retrieve any disscussions but I'll figure it out somehow.

You can redeem iTunes gift cards by clicking "Redeem" under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.
Gift card credit is automatically used before your debit card, so there is no need to remove it. After your credit is used your debit card will be charged again.

I bought an apple store gift card by mistake is there any way for me to use that gift card money to buy an iTunes gift card?

Please help me guys I am so worried

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

HT201303 Why do I have to put in a credit card when I redeemed an iTunes gift card?I

itunes says the card was redeemed and it still asked for a credit card or address when I want to use the gift card.

Is it an account that you've just created ? If it is, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/en-us/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 after entering it, it won't be charged (apart from a temporary store holding charge which your card issuer will remove within a few days or so) if your balance covers the purchase (you can't use your balance for gifting). Credit card details may also be requested if you change countries so as to confirm that you are able to purchase from your new country (e.g. that you have a billing address in that country).
If you are being prompted to review then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

Credit card charged rather than iTunes gift card credit taken. How do I correct payment method?

A friend recently gave me an iTunes card which I credited to my iTunes account. I've just downloaded a movie and wanted to use the credit from my card to pay for this. Instead iTunes appears to have charged my credit card rather than using the existing credit in my account. Is there any way to correct this so that the payment can be made with the iTunes card instead? Thank

Assuming you were not buying a gift for someone else - gifts cannot be purchased using a credit balance - another user in the forums posted this as the reply from the iTunes Store when this issue was brought up. Perhaps it will help you. If problems persist, contact the iTunes Store:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
Regards.
I'm sorry you weren't able to make a purchase using your store credit. To purchase items on the iTunes Store with your store credit, your account information in your user profile needs to be corrected. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
1) Visit the My Apple ID website at: http://appleid.apple.com
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner. When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store using your store credit.

Why do i need a credit card if i have an itunes gift card?

I just bought a itunes card and i need to use a credit card to buy the music
will it charge me anything by puting on the card info?

It should not unless you're trying to gift it, but may place an authorization hold on the card. If it gets charged except as noted, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Just got an ipad air and why creating my apple ID with credit card, a CODE was requested in the itunes gift card/ itunes gift in order to preceed with the form but I don't have the code. Please how can I find the code so as to enable me complete the form successfully. Thanks alot

The iTunes gift card field is optional, you don't have to fill it in - leave it blank if you don't have a gift card.
iTunes gift cards are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue), and they are not available in all countries - so you might not be able to dill it anyway.

HT201209 how do we find out what credit is left on an itunes gift card?

How do we tell how much credit we have left on an itunes gift card? Thanks!

The balance is not held on the card. Credit is held in your iTunes Store account on Apple's servers. Once redeemed, the card itself is then worthless. The balance will be shown next your user name when viewing the iTunes Store through iTunes on your computer, or at the bottom of the Featured screen in the iTunes or App Store apps on an iOS device, presuming of course you're logged into the applicable account.
Regards.

App/itunes gift card from another country

Hi
For Christmas I was given an app/itunes gift card by a friend, the card was purchased in italy. Now I have just tried to enter the code and guess what? it tells me i cannot redeem it cos my store is Uk not Italy. If i try to change it to Italy it tells me I have to register with an italian bank account and address. How is this possible that i cant use an apple card on the apple store??? is there anyway to change this??? i have to say this is truly ridiculous...
any suggestions are welcome...

OK you have 2 options lets say for example you live in the UK and the iTunes card is from the USA.
option 1) go to eBay and sell the card to someone in the USA.
option 2) use the itunes card.
if option 2 you will need to use the following steps
1) Move to the USA <------- This is just so you are following Apples rules ;-)
2) you will need a USA iTunes account, now that you live there so make a new Apple ID. To do this go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US and the 1st thing you are going to want to do is go to the bottom of the page and make sure that next to "Choose Your Country or Regin" you have the US flag (or what ever flag matches the place you just moved to to use the card) if it doesnt then click on it and change it. Put in all info to setup the account, (if for some reason you cant remember the address of the place you just moved into then use google maps). if you dont get an option to make an iCloud email address then you can make a Gmail account and use that as your new Apple ID.
3) you have now moved and made a new iTunes account you can now use your gift card. You will have access to the content in your new country and it will be at their prices.
4) if you want content from both accounts, I assume you already have content purchased from your old account then login to your iTunes/iPhone/iPad with 1 account and download what you own then logout and login with your second account.
enjoy and good luck getting your green card, hopefully the place the iTunes card came form is nice ;-)
