Apple will automatically use your account balance first for any purchases. It'll also use it for any subscriptions you may have. You don’t get a choice if you want to use another payment method instead.
The one nice this about GCs is if you have family sharing, and someone has a balance on their ID, it will use that before hitting the shared payment. Wish they would just let adults put on their own method beyond just GCs.
What if you want to do installment plan? It doesn't have the option at checkout to apply the gift card . Is there no way to use gift card this way?
The way it worked for me was I redeemed the GC and it put it in my account. Then the same day I went to make the purchase and it automatically applied my credit to the sale. See if that works for you.
Only after go through with payment? Because at checkout when it tells you to double click for payment I don't see the gc applied.
Yeah i csn apply it if i opt for ful payment. It's only if i choose installment plan it's not available
I think I read somewhere recently that Apple changed their rules on installments. This is probably one of them. $UCKS!
