If you're trying to buy something that costs, for example, $9.99, and all you have in the account is the $10 gift card, you don't have enough. Sales Taxes will be added to the purchase, which will exceed your balance. Thus, the need for a registered payment method.

I found out from Apple Support that you just click on the price of the song, do not click on the drop down menu as that will ask you for a credit card number. Hope that helps.
