How come Apple credited my purchases instead of charging my Card in my apple wallet?

Apple credited some purchases to some kind of apple thing instead of using my card i had on file tonpay for my purchase. Apple has quit allowing me to download or update any apps at all and this really upsets me because of their mistake. I did not give them permission to credit anything. Is this some kind of scam Apple is pulling or what? Again, i did not allow this they did it themselves.


iPhone 13, iOS 18

Please review this Apple support article I linked to below. It describes are charges to your Apple Account are charged and the priorities given to different payment methods such as Apple Account, Apple Gift Card, Apple Cash (if available in your country or region) and payment methods you’ve associated with your Apple Account. Many people do not fully understand the differences between payment methods in their Apple Wallet and their Apple Account and the order they will be charged.
