Using iTunes credit to purchase voucher

Hello iTuners,
maybe this is too obvious for me to see or just impossible, maybe you can help me figure out.
I have an Australian iTunes account running since I lived there for two years. I'm switching to a German account now in order to use it at home (different Apps offered) but still have roughly $50 in my account.
So I tried to use the credit so send a voucher to a friend in Australia. But every time I want to purchase it, iTunes wants to charge my credit card rather than using my account credit, which is pretty pointless in this case.
Do you know of any way around this???
Any clues will be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Olly

Sorry, but you cannot use a credit balance to purchase a gift voucher or other gift. You'll need to use a credit card.
Regards.

  • Can I use Itunes credit to purchase an ipad ?

    I can't find a definitive answer on the website so I'm bringing the question here.  I have a bunch of credit in the itunes store. Can I use that credit to purchase an ipad ?
    Thanks for your help.

    No, the credit on your account can only be used to buy from the iTunes store (music, films, tv shows etc), the App Store, ibookstore and the Mac App Store - it can't be used to buy from the Apple online or bricks-and-mortar stores.

  • Unable to use iTunes credit to purchase apps

    Am new to the iTouch and apps.
    Have redeemed my Itunes card but cannot purchase apps with the credit.
    What gives?

    The credit can only be used to purchase music and videos in Canada. Software purchases require a credit card.

  • Can i use itunes vouchers to purchase apps on vpp

    We are a Primary (Elementary) School in England who have recently bought 30 iPads...
    Can we use iTunes vouchers to purchase apps and books alongside VPP?
    ...or...
    Do you have to use/buy VPP Credit to buy apps and books to distribute to all the iPads?
    Any help/advice will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    From the VVP guide.....I highlighted copy in bold type.
    Step 4. Enter payment and billing information. Complete your transaction with a Volume Voucher, credit card, PayPal in the United States, or ClickandBuy in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. You’ll receive a confirmation email from Apple telling you that your order has been processed.
    Volume Vouchers. Volume Vouchers are physical cards in denominations of $100, $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 that can be used to purchase apps and books in the VPP store. Volume Vouchers can be provided to Program Facilitators within your instituion who then redeem the vouchers within their individual VPP accounts. Volume Vouchers can be purchased with a range of payment methods, including purchase orders, and are only availble directly through Apple in the United States. The cards are shipped via Federal Express or UPS within three to five business days after your order is processed.
    Purchase history. Your purchase history is stored on the program website under your account information, so you can track the status of each transaction, refer to past purchases, view content you’ve purchased, or download the current spreadsheet of redeemable codes. The purchase history also contains other helpful order information, such as order date, order number, purchase price, and number of apps and books procured.
    Here is where I found the info.

  • How do i use itunes credit on apple TV

    Hi, I want to rent movies on ATV and use my itunes credit to pay for them, however there is no option to select payment method and ATV automatically charges my credit card. I have used itunes credit in the past with Apple TV without needing to do anything, but now it only allows me to rent movies with my saved credit card. Is there a way to do this without deleting the Credit card info.?
    Thanks
    Michael

    Not purchased anything recently but in the past it has always used credit first.
    Contact iTunes Store support - maybe they can adjust the account and refund to cc and figure out why it's doing this.

    Can i use itunes giftcards to purchase ibooks?  If so, how?

    Hi Mystere,
    Click on the iBooks app, select Store, and then either search for the book you want or browse the store. You should be able to then purchase a book, and your iTunes credit should be applied first (like any iTunes purchase that has a gift card credit).

    Can you use iTunes cards to purchase items in a game such as gems for Clash of Clans-if so how? Help please!

    You can, if you have a balance on your account and it covers the amount of the IAP that you want to buy then it should be automatically used for the purchase - if it doesn't cover the IAP price then any remainder will be charged to your credit card.

  • HT4009 Can I use itunes credit to make an in-app purchase?

    I have itunes credit but I wondered if I could use it to make in-app purchases like within a game buy gold?
    Or will I be charged on my card rather than the credit being used?
    Does anyone know?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply wjosten.  I tried it and it worked.
    I didn’t think it would.  The amount hasn’t been removed from my itunes credit on my iphone as yet but it has on my itunes account.
    It hasn’t worked before so I was sceptical if it would work now but apple were going to fix a bug they had.
    Thank you.

  • Why am I not able to use my displayed iTunes credit to purchase music??

    When I launch iTunes my credit is displayed yet when I try to purchase an album I am prompted to use my credit card. And to be clear, the album price is less than my existing credit.
    Any comments or suggestions are most welcome.

    Good point, Dave. I have no doubt that sales tax is charged in IL and 6¢ won't even come close in this state. I have an email in to Apple and will post their response to this.
    I appreciate your help.
