Can you make a charge wait?

So I have a charge due for a subscription on a card that had to be canceled due to my account being hacked. Is there anyway I can make the subscription wait till I get a new card because that’s the only way I have to purchase it.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 26

You might be able to pay what you owe by using account balance to which you can add using a gift card. How to redeem your Apple Gift Card, App Store Card, or App Store & iTunes Gift Card - Apple Support


You cannot pay for some subscriptions using account balance. How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support In addition: If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support says: If you have any active subscriptions, you must have at least one payment method on file other than Apple ID credit. I don't know if not having one will interfere with continued use of the account for other app downloads and subscriptions.


If you are waiting for a replacement card those are usually sent fairly quickly so this may all be moot in a few days.
