If you don't have a credit card or don't want to use a credit card, you can also use your Apple Account balance as payment method.

  • You can't use your Apple Account balance to send gifts or gift cards.
  • If you use Family Sharing, your family members can't spend your Apple Account balance. Funds that you add to your Apple Account balance are only available to you. Find out more about how purchases are billed to your Apple Account balance.
  • Some purchases might require you to have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase.

When redeeming a gift card, the amount will be credited to your Apple Account balance and you need to set your Apple ID balance as your default payment.

No, that is not possible, see ->  If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card

👉 Code must be redeemed in a different country or region

If you see a message that says the code must be redeemed in another storefront, the card was probably purchased in another country or region. You can't redeem Apple Gift Cards or App Store & iTunes Gift Cards outside of the country or region of purchase. For example, if you bought an App Store & iTunes Gift Card in France, you can't redeem it in the App Store in the United States.

If you need more help, contact Apple Support.
