Hi cheetah258,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Seems Apple gift cards need to be redeemed before using for purchases from Apple.

Depending on the kind of gift card, you then have a gift card balance , or Apple ID balance ready for use.

What type of gift card do I have? - Apple Support
