When redeeming a gift card, (1) the amount will be credited to your Apple Account balance and (2) then you need to set your Apple Account balance as your default payment.


(1) See -> Check your Apple Account balance

Check your Apple Account balance – Apple Support (UK)


(2) See -> Add a payment method to your Apple ID

Add a payment method to your Apple ID – Apple Support (UK)



If you already use your Apple Account balance, the Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card is automatically added to your Apple Account balance.


If you're still unable to update your payment method, Contact Apple Support.
