Use the prepaid debit card to buy an Apple gift card and redeem that as your payment method.

A Mastercard gift card is a prepaid debit card that was bought from a store.


Apple often doesn't accept this type of debit card as a payment method.


Apple prefers debit cards issued by banks that draw from an account in the bank.
