    Hey MichaelBeckford,

     

     

    Thanks for the question. It is always good to keep your billing information up-to-date on the iTunes Store, even if you have iTunes Store credit.

     

    iTunes 11 for Mac: If you have trouble using the iTunes Store

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12305

     

    Make sure your account information is accurate and that you don’t need to correct a problem with a previous purchase. Enter the iTunes Store, click your account name at the top of the iTunes Store window, and sign in to your account. To verify your account information, click Edit Account Info and Edit Payment Information.

     

    And furthermore, the following article outlines the billing process for purchases (when Gift balances are used, when Credit Cards are used):

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574

     

    When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:

     

    - Free song credits are redeemed first.

    - If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.

    - If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.

    - If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.

     

    When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:

     

    - Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.

    - If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.

    - If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.

     

    Note: All iTunes Store purchases are final; once you click Buy, orders cannot be changed.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Matt M.
