NZ: Using gift cards to purchase apps

Got my ipad today with a gift card in the hope of getting Plants Vs Zombies. Redeemed the card flawlessly. Every time I click on "Buy app" it asks for credit details. I don't want to use a credit card at all. I just want to pay for the game using the gift card. How do I do this?
Not in Canada, BTW. It's even listed in the app store terms and conditions that gift cards can be used to redeem applications.

It can be done, I set up our kid without a credit card. I think this was the article I followed:

  • I USE GIFT CARDS FOR PURCHASES(VISA, MC) NOW I CAN'T MAKE A PURCHASE. THEY SAY I HAVE TOO MANY CREDIT CARDS ON FILE

    They say I have too many credit cards on file for my username- purchase cancelled.  I use gift cards for gaming purchases (Visa,MC) so I have used a few, but its a gift card.

    This is most likely a security precaution since they probably assume that someone using multiple credit cards over a short period of time may well have stolen them. Go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store and request assistance.

    I want to delete my credit card from my account and only use gift cards.  How can I delete my card number?

    You'll want to get in touch with ITunes support for this. Normally when you start an account with the CC you can't remove it yourself. But by contacting iTunes they can get that taken off for you.

  • How can my child use an iTunes gift card to purchase apps instead of using my credit card?

    My daughter (under 13 years of age) just redeemed her iTunes gift card she got for christmas, but there is seems to be no way she can pay with this in App Store. Can this be true? App Store says that her credit is 15 $ but my credit card is used for payments all the time...
    And yes, we use Family Sharing - and yes my credit card works. But it is just no good that my credit card is being used when she has credit of her own (it was actually the point of giving her the gift card...).
    Any solutions would be fantastic!     

    I can't seem to figure out how to redeem it in the iTunes store?
    You can't directly.
    I can't seem to figure out how to use my Apple gift card to buy an itunes gift card.
    Apply it in the online Apple Store to gift card purchases.

  • I have  20 ipads to hand out to teachers, all of them are using the same apps (purchased), I'm using 1 computer to configure them, I purchased 20 gift cards to purchase apps, how can I set up all 20 on one library using the gift cards to purchase the apps

    My office purchased 20 ipads - and 20 gift cards, I'm setting up all the software on my computer using 1 itunes library.. I need to purchase 20 of the same apps to put on each of the ipads... how can that be done when you purchase the same app..itunes tells you that you the app is already purchased...

    Another member pointed me toward the following site...it contains some great info...it's focus is on the use of iPad's in education....
    http://ipadeducators.ning.com/
    There is some discussion in there of device "cloning"..though I don't see how they can do that and at least not technically violate the iTunes Store EULA....(1 license can be used by 1 person on multiple devices, or by many people on one device).  As I understand it, and as Michael indicated, the only way to do what you want and not violate the EULA is to have 20 different Apple ID's...what the "cloner's"  have chosen to do is use the Educational VPP  www.apple.com/itunes/education
    purchase sufficient licenses for all users, allocate a license to one Apple ID, clone that image to other iOS devices, and simply record the fact internally that the additional  license(s) have been allocated to other Apple ID's....I work in healthcare, and our legal department isn't comfortable with that approach, and I can't see it really being legally viable in education....unless their are different terms for educational institutions....

  • HT3702 Can I use a gift card to purchase apps

    I received a gift card I wanted to know if I could use it to purchase apps for my iPhone or pad? If so what steps do I take?

  • Can I use my credit card instead of gift cards to purchase apps/in-app content?

    I downloaded Global War a few weeks ago and now there is in-app content that I want to buy but everytime I try to purchase it, there is a message that pops up saying "Your purchase could not be completed" then another following message saying "Sorry... In-App Purchase Failed: Cannot connect to iTunes Store". How do I fix that? The content costs $9.99 but I only have 41 cents in my account, do I have to buy a gift card to get more money in my account or can I use my credit card? Is that the reason why those messages are popping up?

    If you mean for purchasing an iPad or other device from Apple then it might depend upon what country that you are in. For the US the Apple Store help page, http://store.apple.com/us/help/payments, has :
    The Apple Online Store accepts a variety of payment methods. Click on a payment method below to find out more:
    Credit Cards or Debit Cards
    Wire Transfer
    Barclaycard Visa Cards
    Apple Business Lease (AFS Commercial Credit)
    Apple Store Gift Card
    Bill Me Later© (Consumer and Education Individuals)
    Note: Bill Me Later©, business lease, wire transfers, cashier's checks, and money orders are ineligible payment methods for pickup items.
    Some payment types are ineligible for orders shipping to multiple addresses. If you are using an ineligible payment type for an order shipping to multiple addresses, you will need to change the payment method, or ship your order to a single address.
    Some customers may qualify for other forms of payment. Please call an Apple Store Specialist at 1-800-MY-APPLE for more information.

  • Using gift card to purchase tv shows, and not! Credit card without the "none" option being there

    i search up a show I click purchase and type in my password it asks for credit card info, it doesnf let me select none, i want to use my iTunes gift card help I'm three seconds away from throwing out my ipad :-/

    Your balance covers the the show's price (plus any applicable taxes), and it this the first time that you've tried to download something with the account ? If it is the first time, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are getting a prompt to review your account 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
    If not then you will need to enter your card details, you should be able to remove them after entering them.

  • HT201209 We are trying to use gift card to purchase music. But it keeps trying to charge my debit card instead of gift card. HELP

    How do i use itunes card to buy music. It wants to use my credit card info instead.

    Hello
    Please make sure if you have not done so already. Download the latest version of iTunes 8.0.2 below.
    If for some reason you find it is still charging credit card vs gift card balance, Please contact iTunes Store support below.
