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 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.

  • My in app purchased are not using my gift card balance???

    I really need a solution as I don't want my credit card charged, that's why I bought a gift card so I didn't have to!

    You can contact iTunes Support via this page : 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

  • 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.

  • Itunes - How to use a credit card with a remaining gift card balance

    In iTunes, I'm running into an issue where I have a gift card that is tied to my account and i have 4$ left on the card. I want to buy a song using my credit card, and I have successfully entered my credit card information into my account, but I don't know of a way to explicitly buy a iTunes song and charge my credit card rather than having it pull from my gift card's remaining balance.
    Please let me know if there is explicitly charge your credit card even with a remaining gift card balance. In recent songs that I've bought, iTunes has been automatically defaulting to use my registered gift card rather than the credit card I have on file.

    I'm having a similar issue: just redeemed a gift card for $25. I can see it in the upper right corner. Yet when I select a song to download, I am (again) asked to sign in and select a credit card to use. I don't want to use a credit card, I want to use the $25 card. This hasn't happened to me before now. If I click the 'redeem gift card' option in the credit card screen, it correctly says that that card has already been redeemed.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT5035 When you have a positive gift card credit balance, are purchases automatically charged to the gift card balance rather than your credit card?

    When you have a positive gift card balance, are purchases charged to the gift card first until the balance is exhausted before your credit card is charged?

    Yes, your account's balance should be used first before any charges are applied to your credit card.

  • 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 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?

  • How to purchase songs with a iTunes gift card balance added to your account

    I have redeemed an iTunes gift card to my iTunes account.  I now have a balance of $25.00.  When trying to purchase some songs to add to my iPod Shuffle, I do NOT find a dropdown box for either PURCHASE or BUY.  I can add the songs to my Wish List, send a link, gift a song, etc - but NO Purchase / buy option.  If I try to gift songs to myself, it will ask for a Billing Account.  Why must a Billing Account be added if I already have a balance of $25.00 to use.
    I have pulled a iPod Shuffle manual and it only tells me to Buy - if no option o Buy is available, just how do you do it??  This is EXTREMELY frustrating!!
    If anyone has an idea just how to accomplish this, please send instructions (since the manual on line does not spell it out).  Frankly I am disappointed in even purchasing the iPod Schuffle if I cannot even use the iTunes gift card I purchased.
    Thank You

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Can I use my iTunes gift card balance to make in-app purchases?

    I have a remaining balance of $8 from an iTunes gift card I redeemed a while ago.. If I buy an in-app purchase, will it use my gift card balance to make the purchase?

    Is this the US store? Do you have enough to do it? Are you allowing for sales tax if it's the US store? US prices don't have sales tax added until the final steps of the sale, if you don't have enough you need a way to cover the remainder.
