If you don’t set up one of the supported payment methods for your Apple ID, you won’t be able to upgrade your iCloud storage or buy music, movies and TV shows from iTunes Store, apps from App Store and Mac App Store, books and audiobooks from iBooks Store and more.
That’s where an iTunes or Apple Music gift card should come in handy.
Upon redeeming, the amount shown on the card is added to your Apple ID in the form of good-as-cash credit that can be used for each purchase you make in Apple’s content stores.

If you’ve never been an Apple Music member, you can still get your free three-month trial in addition to the number of months your Apple Music gift card card is worth.
5.In the upper-right corner, tap Done to finish the process.
If you’d like to redeem another iTunes or Apple Music gift card, tap Redeem Another Code.
