How to buy Apple Watch with Apple ID balance

Hello! Are you trying to include monthly Apple Care with the purchase? I had a problem accessing my gift card balance when buying an iPhone, and the Apple rep said it was the monthly Apple Care subscription. I purchased the phone without Apple Care and was able to use my gift card. I will add the monthly Apple Care when I receive the phone.
