How can I use an Apple Gift Card?

I received a gift card for purchasing my Apple watch. I have a $50 credit on my Apple account but can not access it. I purchased an app from the store but it did not use my credit. Any ideas?

>>Apple Gift Card and Apple Account balance can't be used for some purchases

You can't use your Apple Account balance to send gifts or gift cards.
For some recurring charges, like AppleCare+, you can't start your subscription with Apple Account balance. But as long as you keep another valid payment method on file and your Apple Account balance would cover an entire charge, your recurring charge will pull from your Apple Account balance.*
Some subscriptions might not be charged to your Apple Account balance.
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 available only to you. Learn more about how purchases bill to your Apple Account balance.<<
