Q: We entered an app store gift card # onto our ipod. How do I know if the purchases are getting charged to the gift card vs. my credit card? Also how do I found out what the balance left on the gift card is?

How do I know if the app purchases are being taken from the app gift card vs. my credit card?

And how can I see the balance remaining on the gift card?

    If the card has been redeemed then its remaining amount should be on your account, the card itself is now effectively zero. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).

     

    As long as you are buying content for yourself then purchases should be deducted from your balance - if you are gifting content then that can only be done from a credit card.
