Why doesn't my visa gift card decline when i'm trying to buy something? I have more than what I am trying to add and its all registered.

How can i redeem my visa gift card to add money on my apple id account?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Here's how you can add funds. However, I suspect that a gift card may not have all the identifying information to qualify as a proper bank card. You can try but if it is rejected then that's probably why.


- Add a payment method such as a credit or debit card to your account. See this link about 'Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID' --> https://support.apple.com/HT202631 then see this link about how to 'Change, add, or remove Apple ID payment methods' --> https://support.apple.com/HT201266


- Add funds to your Apple ID balance - "Use a payment method, such as a credit or debit card, to add funds to your Apple ID balance." This takes the previous payment method one step farther by optionally using it to irreversibly add balance to an Apple ID instead of having the card charged each time.
