    Hi Brookers23,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    For information on how iTunes Store purchases are billed, please refer to the attached article.

     

    How iTunes Store purchases are billed - Apple Support

     

    Which payment methods will be used first?

    When you make a purchase, 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.

    When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:

    • Free song credits are redeemed first.
    • If you have no free song credits, then your gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
    • If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
    • If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.

     

    Cheers,

    Joe
