Q: How do I rent a movie using money in my iTunes account.  I had to enter at the iTunes gift card code to open the account, but now I can't figure out how to use this money to rent a movie; I opened the account several months ago but never used the money.

How do I rent a move using moneyin my iTunes account.  I had to enter the iTunes gift ard code to open the account several months ago, but never purchased anything with it.  When I entered this code to rent a movie, the response was that it was redeemed.  What am I doing wrong?

    If you've already redeemed the card onto your account then its amount should be on your account - a card can only be redeemed once.

     

    To rent a film, find the film in the store and (if the film studio has made it available as a rental in your country) click on its Rent button. If you are beig prompted to review your account and enter credit card details then see if this post from mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without entering card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054 . If that doesn't work then you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.

     

    As long as you account's balance covers the rental cost then only that should be charged. 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.
