Hello I recently purchased a gift card and I did redeem the code but for some reason when I wanna purchase an app it doesn’t let me use the money that I got from the gift card it keeps asking for a verification but I don’t know where to do that

I’m very unhappy about how I can’t purchase an app( example: minecraft or terraria) and another thing I have downloaded those apps but it seems I have to repurchase them which is really dumb because I already bought them with my money

Log into your account in the App Store/iTunes and you should be able to change/verify it there. Or you can click the blue Edit payment methods in the article below. When signed in and the page loads, you will be on the credit card page. After updating that, click the Go Back button at the lower left and you will be on the address page. If you have a subscription, you need to add the new card, and then promote it to the primary payment method before you can remove the old card.

Do the apps you have purchased show in your Purchases History? If not, have you ever used another Apple ID to make purchases?
