Apple payment problems

I have $25 on my Apple ID balance and in the payment section I only have two choices, credit/debit card or PayPal. I want to use my balance. How do I do that?

iPhone XR, iOS 12

If you have a balance with your Apple ID whether a gift card or if you added funds to it, that willl always be used for payment before the credit card or debit card gets charged.


When you purchase something in iTunes, the App Store, or iBooks, you should not see anything showing a method of payment. If you are looking at your Apple ID payment method, it will not show a balance in there. Go to the App Store, Tap on your account icon in the upper right. A window will pop up showing the credit that you have on your account.
