  • In the United States, when you redeem a gift card to your Apple Account balance, the balance might appear in Apple Wallet.

 

Outside the United States:

When redeeming a gift card, (1) the amount will be credited to your Apple ID balance and (2) then you need to set your Apple ID balance as your default payment.
