Using gift card for payment in iPhoto?

Hello. I have some concerns about paying in iPhoto. I want to send some letterpress cards to the United States through iPhoto. I am located in Europe (Bulgaria) and I am registered in the Bulgarian iTunes and App Store. As far as I know you can only pay with credit cards issued by American banks and I don't have one so my only option is to pay through a gift card. Is that a payment option in iPhoto at all? And can I buy an American gift card from ebay, where the seller can email you the card code? Is it a problem to pay with an American gift card from an account that is not registered in the US iTunes and App Store?
Thanks in advance.

This is from Apple's Payment & Pricing - Apple Store (U.S.) site:
Apple Gift Card
You can redeem an Apple Gift Card at the online Apple Store, by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE, or at any Apple Store. Apple Gift Cards can be used only in the United States. With the exception of gift cards, certificates, and iTunes downloads, you can purchase just about anything sold by Apple, including products from both Apple and third-party makers.
You might be able to select the United States print product store in Apple's Advanced preference pane
and use an Apple gift card. This is only a guess. Maybe someone will pop in who has had experience with it and confirm or deny the premise.
Happy Holidays

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.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can do that without any problem. That's what some people do to purchase content from the iTunes Store, App Store or iBookstore

Why wont my itunes let me use gift cards for balence i owe

why wont my itunes let me use gift cards for balence i owe

Hi Amitt_s,
After you restored it to factory settings, did you restore as new or from a backup? If it was from a backup, I'd try restoring as new to see if, without any of your previous data, the issue persists:

Why not use gift card for family sharing?

This family sharing feature seems great. But long gone are the days where I had a credit card on file. These days I only use gift cards. But system really wants me to have a credit card to activate this family sharing? Has anyone been able to do with pure gift cards?
thanks

Hi Kestelli,
In order to set up Family Sharing the family organizer must have a credit card or debit card to use for billing. See this article -
Family purchases and payments
If a family member, including the organizer makes a purchase and has gift or store credit, that purchase is first billed to that credit. Family members purchases may not be billed to the organizers store credit unless they are the organizer. See this article -
How iTunes Store purchases are billed
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

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

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.

Buy a gift card / prepaid card for your daughter
Launch iTunes
Make sure that your logged out from your account
Choose to redeem a gift voucher & create a new ID while redeeming
In this case you are able to create an ID without entering CC details (there will be a little checkbox, saying "proceed without CC details")

Can I upgrade iCloud storage using iTunes cards for payment?

I have chosen not to use my credit card in conjunction with my AppleID, so I purchase all of my apps and media using iTunes cards. Can I pay for upgraded iCloud storage using iTunes credits? I would prefer to pay one year at a time using those credits, but if it needs to be monthly, that would be fine as well. I just want to use the iTunes cards instead of a credit card for the payment.

Thank you. So to clarify, if I put a credit card on file for this AppleID, but I have plenty of iTunes credit to cover the monthly cost, then the monthly fee will be pulled from iTunes credits instead of my credit card. Is that correct?
It sounds like the credit card is required in order to provide a backup payment option if the iTunes credits are all used up. Is that also correct?
You're awesome!! Thanks for the help.

How to use gift card for app store once redeemed? Tells me I can only use credit cards so how do I get to the gift card option

I'm trying to buy a game using a gift card but the only options that come up are ones for credit cards. It says redeem giftcard but I have already done this, so when I try this option again it says that this gift card as already been redeemed which is obvious as I did it earlier, so where is the buy game with gift card on the app store?!?!?!?!?!?!

The iTunes/Mac App Stores use the credit from a gift card first, but if the credit doesn't cover the full total the system asks for a credit card. The US store's prices don't include the local sales taxes, so if the system is asking for a card, then your total most likely is exceeding the amount of your gift card credit.

Why won't App Store won't accept my vanilla visa gift card for payment

Why won't App Store accept vanilla Visa card as payment

I'd call iTunes support and ask them. It's possible that the store is attempting for preauthorization beyond whats on the card (In other words, verifying that the car is worth $50 let's say when the card is only worth $25)

hopefully either iTunes support can help you or can direct you to a better place

HT1918 how can i use a itunes card for payment with netflix?

how can i use itunes card for payment for netflix?

Sorry guy, but I think you are out of luck on that one- maybe someday if Apple gets Netflix under an exclusive contract.. But for now Netflix is its own entity, therefore your account with Netflix is not affiliated with your iTunes account and you have to subscribe and pay for Netflix via credit or debit card.
