Q: How can I pay Netflix with a credit card instead of having it automatically debit my iTunes Store credit?
I renewed my Netflix subscription a couple months ago. Of course I can watch Netflix on my iPhone, my MacBook, and on my HD televison set which has an Apple TV attached to it. Each month, Netlix charges me a monthly fee. However, the monthly fee is automatically deducted through my iTunes account using the available credit I have on there. (Yes, I carry a balance of anywhere from $40 to $75 on iTunes for the **** of it.) I do NOT want my iTunes credit to be touched. I'd rather have iTunes/AppleTV/Netflix take the monthly fee from a credit card. I do have a credit card on file for my iTunes account, after all. Why should it default to my credit balance? How do I work around this?
iTunes, Netflix, Apple TV

You can't specify how items are billed, if you have a balance on your account then that will automatically be used
How purchases are billed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
If you want to be charged via your credit card then if you cancel your iTunes subscription then I think that you can subscribe through Netflix themselves and then link your devices to that - before you do that you may want to check Netlfix's help pages that it's possible to do and/or whether you can restart your existing subscription via them
