Subscriptions automatically renew unless apple can't find a way for you to pay for them. You don't need to renew them unless they fully expire. In that case you aren't renewing it, you are starting it all over again.


You don't actually say why you can't renew the subscription. If there is an error message, we need to know what it says. You may need to have a credit or debit card present. It won't be charged if there is gift balance but it needs to be there to start the subscription again. To me it sounds like the old one expired and you are basically starting a new subscription again.
