Because this is not allowed in the itunes store.

You cannot use your gift card balance to buy gifts. You must use your cc.

I went to the specific trouble of creating a user account here just to express how idiotic that answer is..

Some people don't have credit cards, that's why we use apple gift cards to up our balance in the first place.

Lovely how this isn't possible..
