Why cant I use my apple ID balance that I loaded onto my device with a gift card for itunes purchases?

My son received an Apple gift card for Christmas for $25. His apple ID reflects the $25, but when he tries to purchase an App or song off of Itunes, he gets asked for a credit card. He is 13 and has no credit card. Shouldn't the balance on his Apple ID allow him to purchase an app or a song?
