How can I transfer my iTunes gift balance to my new account?

[iMore Question]

How do I transfer the balance from an Itunes gift card that was used on my old phone under a different apple id?

You can't... just use the old AppleID on the new phone...

I don't believe you can as kch said. You should just use the old AppleID. The only possibility would be if you have a full balance left, then Apple MIGHT be able to transfer the full balance back on to the original card. Here's info from the Apple support forum on it....
