I can't add my card as payment method on my Apple ID

I don’t get it? I can’t add a new payment method. Plus I have $50 on my apple I.d. No outstanding payment owed. When I try to purchase anything it is still trying to charge an expired card. This card is valid and accepted. I get the same response every time I try to enter new cards.

If you have enough money in your Apple Account balance, all you have to do is -> you need to set your Apple Account balance as your default payment.


See -> Add a payment method to your Apple ID

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

and ⤵️

  • You can't use your Apple Account balance to send gifts or gift cards.
  • If you use Family Sharing, your family members can't spend your Apple Account balance. Funds that you add to your Apple Account balance are only available to you. Find out more about how purchases are billed to your Apple Account balance.
  • Some purchases might require you to have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase.

👉 fyi: Not all credit & debit cards seem to work with App Store / iTunes Store, try a different one, or preferably a credit card. If your card is not accepted as a paymenf method, you need to contact your bank.


If you have followed all the steps and instructions and if you still need help, get support from Apple directly -> Get Support or call Apple in your region see -> Contact Apple for support and service or check -> here for more support and assistance.
