Once credit card is billed for purchase, can I use an iTunes gift card to pay for it instead?

I have made a purchase wanting to use solely iTunes gift cards. However I did not account for the local taxes, and it exceeded the amount of gift card credits I had. Now my credit card has been charged, though I do not want to use it for various reasons.
Can I pay the balance using another gift card instead?

If your account's balance didn't cover the total purchase price then the extra amount over your balance will have been charged to your credit card - it's too late after purchasing the item to change how you paid for it. You can try contacting iTunes Support, but they are probably unlikely to change how you paid for it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
If you don't want your credit card to potentially be charged for purchases then you could remove it from your account :
Changing payment details : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
If you don't get the 'none' option to be able to remove your card : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information

    Can I use an iTunes gift card to purchase credits for a game app that I have already downloaded?

    Have you already redeemed your iTunes Gift Card? If not, refer to the steps in the article:
    Redeeming iTunes Gift Cards and content codes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
    Once you have redeemed your card, any items purchased on your account(excluding gifts) will be automatically charged to the remainder of the store credit until the balance reaches $0.00. If a purchase exceeds the amount of the store credit, the balance can be paid with a credit card.

  • Can you use an itunes gift card to purchase ibooks?

    Can you use an itunes gift card to purchase ibooks on your iphone? If yes, how? When I attempt to purchase a book it automatically appears that it will automatically charge my stored card.
    Thanks!

    To use an iTune Gift Card to buy books...
    Open iTunes on your computer and click on the iTunes Store.
    You'll need to be signed in...
    Click on the little House icon in the dark gray bar across the top. (or Shift+Command+H)
    On the right side of the page under Quick Links click Redeem and enter your code.
    Then it will show your credit balance in the dark gray bar across the top next to your account name to let you know how much you have to spend.
    Then as you buy books, it'll deduct from the credit balanace.
    There is a distinction between, iTunes Gift Card and Apple Gift Card.
    Apple Gift Card: can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store...
    iTunes Gift Card: To give music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, or anything on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the iBooks Store or the Mac App Store, select an iTunes Gift Card

  • Can I use an iTunes gift card for icloud storage back up

    Can I use a iTunes gift card for icloud storage back-up

    You can use them to buy ibooks from the ibookstore - and also for items from iTunes, the app store and Mac App Store.
    I assume that you are going to give the card(s) as presents ? You can't buy a card, redeem it onto your account, and then use your account's balance to gift items from the store, gifting can only be done via a credit card (and ibooks can't be gifted).

  • HT201209 Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase something actually in an app? (Like buy coins in the app and use your gift card)

    Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase things actually in an app? (Buy "coins" using the gift card?)

    No idea, but it seems like you should be able to. You can give it a try, but will have to figure out some way around the automatic 1-click ordering that the App Store now does by default.
    It certainly seems like something deserving of a feedback form submission, though ...

    Why can't I use an iTunes gift card in Canada to purchase apps for my iTouch?
    Inquiries to the iTunes Store have yielded only the following explanation:
    "Due to tax laws and commerce restrictions for software in Canada, customers residing in Canada may only purchase games and applications using a credit card."
    What these "laws/restrictions" might be have never been identified.
    Can I somehow exchange the giftcards that I have for App gift cards?
    There are no "app gift cards". Again, you can only use a credit card to purchase software in the Canadian iTunes Store.
    Problem is I don't have a credit card to purchase the apps.
    Perhaps you could obtain one of the "prepaid" credit cards some banks offer. If not, then the only way you'll be able to buy apps is to get someone to allow you to use their credit card.

  • Can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts?

    can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts? on two different computers?

    A Gift card will add a specified amount of mony to an iTunes account identified with a specific Apple ID (email address and password combination).
    If that Account is set up on both Devices, then they will share the money balance in that account. And can purchase things in the store with that balance.
