Apple Gift Card ended up in iTunes instead of my Apple account - how can I change this?

I googled how to redeem my Apple gift card. It said thru iTunes. But now I've got $25 credit at iTunes, but I wanted it for my whole Apple account! My apple account shows ZERO balance! There's no way I would buy $25 worth of iTunes. How do I get it to show up in my Apple account? Not happy. :-(

Hi ArtsySue,


We understand you need assistance with your Apple ID balance. As noted in the following article "When you redeem an Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card, you can make purchases with your Apple ID balance. Those purchases can include apps, games, subscriptions like Apple Music or iCloud+, and more. But for some purchases, Apple ID balance can't be used.":


How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card



We would also suggest the following article, specifically the section "If your Apple ID balance seems incorrect":



Check your Apple ID balance



Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
