Use debit card instead of iTunes funds for iCloud upgrade

I have an iTunes Store credit tied to my account, and I’d rather not use it for upgrading my iCloud plan, I’d much rather use my card. Is there a way to do this, or do I have to use my store credit?

Payment is automated and determined by factors outlined in this article -->

"Which payment method is charged?


When you buy items or pay for subscriptions, Apple attempts to charge your payment methods in this order:


1. Apple attempts to use your Apple ID balance to cover the full amount.

2. If you don't have Apple ID balance or you don't have enough to cover the full amount, Apple attempts to charge your primary payment method. The primary payment method is at the top of the list in Settings on your iPhone. You can control which payment method is at the top of the list.

3. If there's a problem with the primary payment method, or if the primary payment method can't be charged for the full remaining amount, Apple attempts to charge your other payment methods in order from top to bottom. If none of them can be charged, Apple may try again.
