What is "Credit" that is shown under my Apple ID in the AppStore?

Hi Rob.

did you ever work out what this “Credit” figure is ? As I have the same.

kind regards

Hi, same issue here - credit showing on my account on my iPad but cant find it showing anywhere else or why that amount would be in there! Any help appreciated.

here is a screen shot for anyone to see what we are talking about.

this figure is NOT replicated in my

Apple Account. Which has over £20 in it from redeeming apple gift cards.

Thanks again. To anyone who knows

what this figure is ??

I finally figured out how to actually use the credit amount. All you have to do is add funds and input the amount you see in the credit minus the amount in your wallet so if i have $20 in credit and i have $5 in apple funds, I’ll add $15 in funds. Once its added you can use it wherever you want.

Thank you for this.

But I have more in my wallet than the figure showing in credit.

so following your solution I would have to add a “negative “ balance ??

i am still confused what this figure is and as yet nobody from Apple has been able to explain it !

appreciate any further help you could give me

thank you.
