Can you pay the new Apple Music Membership with an iTunes card?

HI, I'm just wondering if you can use an iTunes card to pay the $9.99 monthly membership fee for the new Apple Music on IOS 8.4. Does anyone happen to know whether or not you can use it as payment? Or is your only option to use a traditional credit card?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.4, Apple Music Membership

I started my free trial with only a gift card (balance greater than $9.99). There was no credit card in my account. Possibly Apple will let users pay for the monthly subscription with a gift card, and then pause the service and notify users they need more balance to use Apple Music?

I contacted Apple support about using gift card balances to pay for your monthly Apple Music subscription. Here is what my advisor said:


Yes, if you have stored credits on your account, once the Apple Music starts your monthly subscription, it will be deducted to your stored credits. If you don’t have sufficient store credits and don’t have credit card on file, the subscription will be on hold.

Also, if you start the free trial period with a gift card in your account, the balance in the gift card must be enough to pay for your first month. So it looks like you will be able to pay using a gift card. Hope this helps!
