If I have Family Sharing with my husband and he has his credit card and Apple ID, can I still make my own purchases with my name and Apple ID, if I want to?

You can make your own purchases with your Apple ID yes, but they will be charged to the Family Organizer's payment method.


If you want to pay for your own purchases too, redeem Apple / iTunes Gift cards onto your account. The credit balance in your account will be used before charging your husbands payment method. Though the payment method on the organizer's account may still need to be verified before it will charge the purchase to your account.


Anything you purchase yourself will belong to your Apple ID regardless of who pays for it, but can be shared to other members of the Family Group.
