Seems you purchased an Apple Gift Card ? (Apple Card is Apple's credit card)

If so, you may want to check what kind of Gift Card you have purchased.

Eg: Apple Store gift cards may need to be used in an Apple Store, or to purchase goods from the online store.

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

As the card has no balance

The Gift Card may not have been properly activated for use when purchased.

You may need to take the card and your receipt back the store you bought it from, for help with that.

or

The card may have already been redeemed and the money used by someone else.

or

perhaps you just need to follow the correct steps:

See: How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card - Apple Support

and

Else:

Apple support have another article online (link below) that may help:

Eg: Check you are entering the correct code:

Make sure that you enter the redemption code that begins with "X", not a different number on the card

If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card - Apple Support
