Q: How do I pay by credit card for an app when there is a credit on my account?

I have a credit on my account.  I want to buy a song on itunes with my credit card and not use the credit.  How do I bypass the credit?

    You can't specify how an item is billed, if you have a credit on your account then that will automatically be used - your credit card will only be charged when your balance is zero.

     

    If you want your credit card to be charged then you could try gifting the song to yourself (I haven't tried it but I think that you should be able to gift to yourself) - you can't use an account's balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card.
