I've got the same issue; lot's of $ in my account balance, but it keeps wanting me to input credit card info. I DON"T want to give my credit card info. I've never had a card linked to my account as I've only just bought Apple cards to top up my account. And I wish to continue with that. Any suggestions?
So after much effort and frustration, it would appear that Apple now requires everyone to have a backup credit card linked to their account. That is why I could not use my account balance; and my 15 year old son who received and loaded an iTunes card as a gift couldn't use it. My wife has her credit card linked to her Apple ID and hence family account. SO by adding myself and son to the Family plan, Apple has her credit card as a back up. Now we can purchase apps and songs from Apple. Apple tells me that it will default to the Apple Account first - but of course if you don't have enough money in the account, it'll then draw from the credit card on file. What a manipulative company - hate them for that.
@@stevendanielson8104 i think for some purchases u have to have a credit card connected to ur account but u can still use the itunes balance instead of the credit card
This is not working! When I try to buy something, it brings me to fill my credit card info even tho I DONT want to. If I tap edit when I see "my payment method is on top: apple balance" nothing works. I have all my taxes payed so IDK! Please help me ❤
@@Fontain38 this was a while ago but I managed to figure it out: it’s the exact amount plus tax…for me seeing as I live in Canada I sadly had to fork over another $100…but it worked after that
Dropping this here for everyone, go to ur wallet, remove ur bank card, click add Apple ID, then you can use your balance on anything, when your done re add ur bank card (removing it is to only make sure that one isn’t charged instead of the account money)
If your guys Apple Card isn’t working you might have payments that you didn’t pay for yet so just check that and if it’s that pay for it and you’ll be okay
I noticed this guy always comes up with incomplete information, clickbait or scams in all of his videos. That’s why each time I see his face on a thumbnail, first I laugh and then I open video.
@@JayFleckOfficial I got an answer after talking to Apple. They said they are rolling out more software on their end to let all devices register it to their phone. He didn’t give me an idea of when everything should be finished but he did say it is something on their end not the user. So all we can do is just wait.
Okay I’m trying to find a video on this but here is my issue I got a gift card and added the $25 to my account balance so I could renew my TH-cam premium but it keep defaulting to using my debit card and when it declined from there it doesn’t give me an option for using my account balance any ideas on why that is or what I could do to get around it?
SAME like i want to buy an app like Stardrew Valley and I have 25€ but when I want to buy it the want cards or something idk and bro WHY DID I BUY THAT GIFT CARD?? Ugh
All man I gotta go back to Samsung this is ridiculous Im trying to buy something in app that’s 4 dollars and it told me to get on credit card I don’t remember this happened that’s stupid u should buy anything with gift card 🤦

Hey kinda off topic but do you know why I can’t make any in app purchases? My in app purchases are on, but when I try to buy something, it says my in app purchases are off. You know a fix to this?
Because this guy and EVERYONE ELSE tells you nothing about how to fix this. The only way I got my apple balance to work is if it is the only payment method. (aside from my paypal which is empty at the moment). the moment you only have your balance, it will use that only and not show you your card or other payment methods. tedious but it works
OMG! This told me absolutely NOTHING! 🤨 I had just redeemed an apple gift card. The balance is on my phone. Specifically, step by step, what is the mundane process used, in order to pay for in app purchases?!!!🙄🙄🙄
I think apple makes it hard on purpose - not a single video can show me how to successfully use my apple gift card balance. We should all stop buying this crap! Apple ends up with a shit ton of money that people can't figure out how to use!!!!
So there’s this game called Toca world I wanted to buy the mall and I payed from my wallet but it didn’t work I tried again and again and it still won’t let me pay what do i do?
i don’t understand my friend has the same problem but mine works perfectly i didn’t put any payment method in my apple id whenever i buy gift card i can buy everything with it without asking for credit card
After I added my card it doesn’t let me use the Apple balance, but I have 15 for my Apple balance and nothing in my card-, and it says I have an active subscription but I checked and there was nothing active on it-
Bro wtf ts doesn’t mf work im done with mf cheap ass apple they can’t even mf fix this one issue every one’s having imma switch to android they don’t have this issue

Nope

No pls help bc I have the balance etc but I don’t can do smth with that
@@phonvyr i can relate to you. what is this type of help?
No it didn’t. Having the balance and still goes straight to charging card
No this did nothing, it’s all info I already knew and didn’t tell me how to use the balance instead of it trying to charge my card
Input your card into the payment method then when you buy t it will charge the balance first

Thumbs down. This video does not address the title. It’s misleading.
Still won’t let me use my 10$ for anything at all …
For real bro I’m so done with apple
Same here this shit pisses me off
to this day bro. 😂 what a waste of 50
What if the app is free and still can’t get it ?😊
What do you mean?
I think apple makes it hard on purpose - not a single video can show me how to successfully use my apple gift card balance. We should all stop buying this crap! Apple ends up with a shit ton of money that people can't figure out how to use!!!!
This did nothing. Why???
🤔 It could be due to a few reasons, like restrictions on your account or the type of item you're trying to purchase.
I didn’t even try to add money to my account I tried to add it to my Apple Pay is it a way that I can transfer it
You cannot transfer. You will have to request a refund.
You can’t buy in app purchases. I am in-subscribing from this guy. He isn’t helpful at all, and nothing works.
