Is there any way to use my Apple balance to pay for AppleCare for my new Apple Watch? With the new cards I can buy Apple hardware and apps but when I try to buy AppleCare on the website it asks for a credit card.
I’ve Googled this but couldn’t find anyone saying no it’s not possible or how to do it.
 
Have any luck calling? I have the same question.
Thanks for reminding me. I called them and the only way I can do this is to unredeem the gift card over then phone then go to the Apple Store to buy AppleCare in person. It seems crazy with Covid going on that Apple would require an in person meeting for something that could be done online or over the phone. I hope my death isn't caused by me buying AppleCare (Just kidding... Kinda LOL)
