Because this is a subscription you may be required to enter a credit card to guarantee payment. If you redeem your gift card it will add balance to you Apple ID which will then be automatically preferentially used to pay for anything you buy before the credit card itself is charged. This is described in this article --> How App Store and iTunes Store purchases are billed - https://support.apple.com/HT201359


Also make sure it is the right kind of gift and how to redeem it:
