Hi there, I am trying to buy a movie and gift it to someone using my iTunes balance - from a gift card. I don’t want to add a credit card or payment information. I buy everything with gift cards. But it wants me to put in a credit card even though I have enough balance.
how do I work around this please?
thanks in advance.
