IF you have a balance in your iTunes account, the balance will always be used for purchases until it runs out and that includes making in app purchases. Your credit card should not be charged.

On your iPad, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and click your Apple ID, then "View Apple ID". Enter the password when requested. Do you see "Apple ID Balance" at the top with your credit amount?
