Q: Itunes Gift Card

Keep it simple and let the merchant do whatever he wants. Then, if you want, buy yourself a separate card. If there are any problems on the merchants end, it will much easier to sort out if you keep them separate.

We paid the merchant 50 dollars using an Itunes Card, they indicated in order to refund the 50 for services not rendered they needed for me to purchase another activated 50 Dollar amount Gift card, provide the Number to them so they can transfer the 50 to it. The card would become 100.00 however I was a little weary of that transaction and wanted to punt the question to the apple community.

What type of gift card do I have? - Apple Support
It always talks about redeeming a card, but I never saw anything about adding additional credit to a card. If the card is activated, but not redeemed, and they know the number, then there is nothing stopping them from redeeming it themselves. (Its like giving someone your password.) Once the card number is redeemed and credited to your account, then that should deactivate the card. So, the merchant's story doesn't make any sense to me.
Since I am not affiliated with Apple (other than being a user of their products), I can't speak for them. To get a definitive answer, I would contact Apple Support directly at one of the links in this article:
