I redeemed an apple giftcard, which I received as a gift. When I try to spend it in an app though, it says I must first Sign in and verify my payment information. The problem is, I myself have no card that I can use to verify payment information with. Is there a way I could spend my apple giftcard money, without using a card and having to verify my payment information?

nieale,
Thank you for providing those follow up details. If you're unable to use an App Store or iTunes Gift Card that you've already redeemed, we would suggest contacting Apple Support as a next step. Follow the section under "Contact Apple Support" in If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card.
Have a nice day.
I have already redeemed my giftcard. The problem is, I can’t purchase anything with it, since it says I need to verify my payment details. I don’t have a credit card to use and can’t spend my apple giftcard cash because of this.
