I am part of a family share account. My friend is the owner / organizer. Anytime I’ve tried to purchase an app or anything it gets taken off his credit card. I have a 50$ gift card balance on my account that never seems to get touched. How can I get the gift card used? Can I transfer it to my Apple Cash or to him to pay his credit card?

In most cases it should take the money from your balance first, but there are exceptions. This document outlines what you can buy with your Apple ID [Apple Account] balance --> What you can buy with your Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance - Apple Support
