I can't work out how to use an iTunes voucher to buy apps from the App Store, or to buy in App purchases. Every time I try to do either, it gets charged to my credit card! Can anyone help please?
iPod (5th generation), iOS 7.0.4
Hey Kibs71,
Follow these steps to redeem your codes:
Redeeming iTunes Gift Cards and content codes

Then, once you redeem, I'd read the following, which goes over the order in which iTunes bills purchases (the balance from your code will be used before your card):
Order of iTunes billing methods
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
- Free song credits are redeemed first.
- If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
- If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
- If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
- Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
- If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.
- If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.
Sincerely,
Delgadoh
