Send Gift in iTunes or App Store - Can I use store credit?

The support article indicates I can use the "payment method I have on file" for my Apple ID.

Other support articles indicate that store credit will be used first (before a credit card, for example).


So, can I use store credit to send an iTunes/App Store gift?

You can't, the link you gave says :

When you buy App Store & iTunes Gifts, they're charged to the payment method that you have on file for your Apple ID, even if you have store credit available. You can't purchase an App Store & iTunes Gift with store credit.


Other articles are for purchasing, not gifting.
