Trouble redeeming gift card
I entered a gift card into my account and it was accepted, but when I purchase something it just charges my credit card. How do I use the gift card instead?

The Apple Support Community will permanently close on November 20, 2026. Starting today, the site will no longer accept new posts and is available in a read-only state.
You can continue to find trusted guidance and support on the official Apple Support site.
We want to thank the community members who have contributed their time and expertise to help others with their Apple products.

It is my understanding that if you set your payment method to none in your apple ID account settings you will then be able to use your gift card(s).
To check these settings, go to app store, view acct (or sign in), and check your payment method.
