''Unable to Complete Purchase''

I recently went to the store (Walmart) and bought a gift card that says ''The gift card and that’s iTunes card " and it is $25 on it for me to use myself and I redeemed it and when I tried to go on to make purchases and spend $15.99 it said "Unable to Complete Purchase" , "We were unable to charge any of the payment methods on file for your account. Please update your billing info". When there is no card on their except the one I redeemed. When I went to my settings the card was there. I decided to reset all my settings and I don't know what else to do. Please help me. ASAP!!

Hi Cybok6,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! If you're receiving an error when trying make a purchase, the guidance below may help:


If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required'


Change your payment method
Add a new, valid payment method, then remove the old payment method. If you have an unpaid balance, the new payment method is charged automatically. When the outstanding balance has been paid, you can make new purchases or use subscriptions again.
Change your payment method

Use an Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card to pay an unpaid balance
1. Purchase an Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card.*
2. Redeem the gift card.
3. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app, then tap your name.
4. Tap Media & Purchases.
5. Tap View Account.
6. Tap Purchase History.
7. Tap the order with red text that says Amount You Owe.
8. Tap Pay with Apple ID Credit.
After you pay for the unpaid order, you can make purchases with your remaining Apple Account balance.
* Gift cards aren't available in all countries or regions.


If you use Family Sharing
If you use Family Sharing and purchase sharing is turned on, the family organizer's payment method is charged for all family members' purchases. If you're the family organizer and you or a family member can't make purchases, change your payment method.
If you're not the family organizer, ask the family organizer to change their payment method. Or redeem a gift card and pay your unpaid order.



Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
