iCloud
How do I pay for iCloud using my iTunes balance. Before this was so easy to do, now when I try to upgrade my iCloud it only gives me the option of credit card or pay pal, and I have plenty of balance in my account

Greetings SandraPa28,
Your subscriptions will first use your Apple ID balance prior to using a credit card on file. It sounds as though a credit card is required to be on file to make a purchase.
Check out the information in the following article: "You might need to have a payment method on file, even if the app that you want to download is free" - If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Additionally, check out the information here: How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support
"Which payment method is charged?
When you buy items or pay for subscriptions, Apple attempts to charge your payment methods in this order:
- Apple attempts to use your Apple ID balance to cover the full amount.
- 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."
Kind regards.
