  • Presumably “entered in my gift card” means you redeemed an Apple Gift Card to your account as described in the article linked above.
  • If the above is true, and the payment comes from your credit card, then you must have purchased something for which the balance in your Apple ID account cannot be used. We don’t know what you purchased.
