Tell us a "Story" - the whole thing.
I don't know about others, but my crystal ball is busted.

Maria,
Are you trying to buy a gift for somebody? Gifts require the use of a credit card; you cannot use a credit balance to purchase a gift.

If I understand you correctly (??)
although the 're-gifting' by purchasing another Gift Card with said Gift Card might make a little sense (I have a hard time thinking criminally), I am confused by the policy.

- One has a Gift Card will all or part of the purchased amount on it
- One cannot spend that money (which Apple or someone already has in their bank account) on anyone but one's own self?
- Why would it matter "on whom" the $ is spent to Apple or anyone else?

ÇÇÇ,
Here is the statement from the Apple Legal page:
That is a very typical policy among online retailers.
I understand about 'it's My house and we play by my rules" - not a problem
you asked if maria (yet to hear much back from her) was "trying to buy a *gift* for someone" - my point was (and is) that if I have $ on a GC, what possible difference does it make *who* the purchase I make is FOR?
I DO understand about tunes and apps and such maybe being tied to an AppleID - but with what little she said, we are exercising futility, methinks
buenos tardes, amigo

Make sure the gift card is in and that you have a balance. If it is in then try getting rid of credit/debit cards.
