If you get a message -> Your purchase could not be completed, you need to Add a payment method to your Apple ID – Apple Support (UK)

  • If you want to change your card, add first the new card, then remove the old one.
  • or if you use your Apple Account balance, you need to set your Apple Account balance as your default payment.

You can have a credit card / debit card on file and an Apple Account balance.

If you have set your Apple Account balance as your default payment method, your default payment method will be used first by Apple when you need to make a payment.

If you have set your Apple Account balance as your default payment method and you have a CC / debit card, you pay from your default payment method.

Some purchases might require you to have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase.
