How can I use my $50 gift card balance for Apple TV?

I have $50 balance on my account from a redeemed gift card. Apple isn’t letting me use this for my free 3 month trial of appletv?!!? Please help.

What is your qualifying purchase for this extended free trial? A free 3 month trial of Apple TV+ is available for select qualifying purchases, when you haven’t had access to Apple TV+ before. Buying a gift card is not a qualifying purchase. Other new subscribers can just get a 7 day trial. For offers from Apple, eligible users should redeem this offer on their new qualifying Apple device. For offers from partnering companies, eligible users should redeem that offer on their qualifying third party device.

Depending on your country or country-like region, Apple may expect a payment method other than account balance to be able to start a subscription, even when account balance will be used up first. Contact the Apple Support staff for more details on your specific situation.
