How to pay for Premium with iTunes gift card

[warlock315]

I've been a Spotify Premium customer for a few months now, and I've always done my payments through a PayPal account. However, I have a few extra iTunes gift cards laying around that I can use as App store credit on my iPhone. Is there any way I could pay for 2 or 3 months of Premium ahead of time using up that App store credit? I'm also aware paying through the app store is 13$ or so because of Apple's fees, but I still have nearly 50$ of iTunes gift cards that would otherwise be going to waste. Thanks ahead of time for any replies!

Hey @warlock315

Unfortunately you cannot pay in advance with iTunes, you will have to subscribe via iTunes and pay ever month with the credit on the iTunes account 🙂

I hope this helped! 🙂

I payed for premium with an iTunes gift card I just bought a throw away credit card so when it ran out of money it used what was in my apple account.

YO I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM when it says "unlock premium" I tap it and bam nothing and I also have always been using iTunes credit

Hey ladies and gentlemen!

Reading through this thread it seems like you guys purchased iTunes gift cards, added them to your Apple account (iTunes account) and then tried to subscribe to premium via the in-app subscription?

If this is the case and you are still unable to purchase a premium subscription through the in-app subscription, you need to contact apple as they deal with all payments that go through the App Store. 

You can head over here to fix your issue with subscribing via iTunes

If you still have an issue just post here and I'll look into it for you 🙂

Okay, that's great for those who have been a premium subscriber before, but for those who haven't, how the heck do we pay for premium with an iTunes credit!?

[Beatdrops15]

It does that for me too
