Help with parental approval of apps and itunes gift card

My son has an itunes GC loaded onto his device. He is required to get parental approval to purchase apps. When I hit approve it ends up charging our credit card on file NOT his GC loaded on his phone. How do I get it to deduct from the GC?

Was the gift card redeemed onto his account (gift cards are redeemed onto an account, not a particular device) ? If it was, and if that is the account that he is using, contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww (click on your country's flag, the country where you live, and which is therefore the country on the account ; click on Contact Support towards the top right ; click on Get Help under 'Talk To Us’)
