Can I pay unpaid balances with Itunes credit?

So I recently went on a bit of a spending spree after adding a $100 prepaid visa to my itunes account.


I went a bit overboard and when i tried buying a $5.99 virtual item it told me that I paid for it, but i didnt recieve it so I tried doing it again thinking it was a glitch.


Then i checked the visa online and it was empty and after checking my itunes account I have 11.98 in unpaid balances.


I dont have any cards with money, the only thing i can do is buy itunes cards right now from sites like g2a.


I want to know if I can use these cards to pay off that debt and will I receive what I paid for?

About credit balances

After you redeem iTunes Gift Cards or iTunes Gifts, your updated balance appears in your iTunes Store account. Each time you purchase content, iTunes deducts funds from the credit until it's depleted.

The entire amount of a gift is credited to your iTunes Store account when you redeem it, so you don't need to enter your gift card number or gift code each time you want to buy something.

You can check your balance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or on your computer through iTunes, the Mac App Store, or the iBooks Store.
