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

From that statement it sounds as if you have already redeemed the card and it is now in your Apple account balance. Normally once funds are in Apple Account balance the only way to get them out again is to spend them. If you buy something that costs money such as jewels in a game, Apple will change your account balance first, unless it is something which cannot be charged to account balance --> What you can buy with your Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance - Apple Support
