Have you already redeemed your iTunes Gift Card? If not, refer to the steps in the article:


Redeeming iTunes Gift Cards and content codes

Once you have redeemed your card, any items purchased on your account(excluding gifts) will be automatically charged to the remainder of the store credit until the balance reaches $0.00. If a purchase exceeds the amount of the store credit, the balance can be paid with a credit card.

Not sure if you can, I've added £50 to my i-Tunes account and when then made an in-app purchase, the £50 is still in my account but my card has been charged for the full amount.


I know Apple use a delayed method on charging, so money doesn't go straight out, so I will wait to see if they use the gift card and then take the remainder from my card, if not then I'll assume that you can't use credit for in-app purchases.
