    iTunes credits are, for example, if you download a song from the store and it's found to be corrupt - if the track can't be fixed then iTunes support will tend to give you a song credit for a free download.

     

    When you purchase music from the store then any credits that you have will be used first, then any balance that you have (e.g. from iTunes gift cards or allowances), and any remaining amount will be taken from your credit card.

    If you had $10 on your account then it should have been charged to that. The receipts that I have from iTunes say 'Billed To: Store Credit' and the amount was taken out of my account's balance (i.e. gift cards) - so it is just a receipt for your purchase, not a bill.
