I redeemed a gift card from my friend on my birthday. Then, the next day when I try to purchase games. It turns out that "Your Purchase could not be completed" What's going on?

I redeemed a gift card

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


1.

See -> Check your Apple ID balance

Check your Apple ID balance – Apple Support (UK)


(2)

Change, add or remove Apple ID payment methods

Change, add or remove Apple ID payment methods – Apple Support (UK)


If you update your payment method or add funds to your Apple ID balance, It would take about 1 to 3 business days in order to process.


If you're still unable to update your payment method, Contact Apple Support.
