Hey AndrewTarr,


It sounds like you're wanting to know how to use your Apple ID balance instead of a credit card when making purchases in iTunes and the App Store. The following resources have additional information on adding funds, how billing works, and redeeming gift cards:


How App Store and iTunes Store purchases are billed

Create or use an Apple ID without a payment method

What type of gift card do I have?

Check your Apple ID balance


We hope this information helps. Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Have a great day!
