Q: How would I change my purchase method with family sharing?

With my family sharing it says that my purchase method is my Visa card. I want it to be just the iTunes money I have from redeeming cards. What would I do to change it from my Visa to the iTunes credit?

Hey jdogknudsen,

Thanks for the question. iTunes Store credit cannot be shared with other family members. For more information, see the following resource:

How are Family Sharing purchases billed?

When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card.
