No, funds in an Apple ID Account can only be used for purchases with Apple. This includes Apple App Store, iTunes Store, etc. It’s a safer alternative than carrying a physical card with hundreds if dollars on it. If lost, those monies are gone forever.

Please review the Apple Support articles I linked below.
