It looks like you had an outstanding charge for $30 on your account. When that happens, you usually have to enter in valid credit card info to pay for it or redeem gift cards to cover the amount.


In your case, as soon as you redeemed the cards, iTunes saw that the amount you redeemed was sufficient enough to take care of that $30 outstanding charge and so it subtracted it from the $100 you redeemed the gift cards for.


If you have any other questions you can contact iTunes Support via expresslane.apple.com
