Can you use a gift card without a credit card?
I have an itunes gift card, but everytime i try to redeem it, it says i need to add billing information. Is there a way to redeem it without adding a credit card?

Good afternoon holothere,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you are trying to add an iTunes Gift Card to your Apple ID account. If you are being prompted to update your billing information, you will need to do that first. Then, after you redeem the iTunes Gift Card, you can remove the credit card information if you wish.
Redeem App Store & iTunes Gift Cards and content codes
"When you redeem an App Store & iTunes Gift Card, you add credit to your Apple ID balance. You can use that credit to make purchases in the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple TV app, or Apple Books. Or you can use the credit to upgrade your iCloud storage or pay for subscriptions like Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple TV channels, or Apple News+.
Some purchases might require that you have a credit card on file, even if you are using Apple ID credit to make the purchase."
Create or use an Apple ID without a payment method
"You can remove payment methods from your existing Apple ID after you sign in to the App Store, iTunes Store, or Apple Books. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make a purchase."
Take care.
