Why Can’t I Change My Payment Method on iCloud?
If you can’t change the payment method on iCloud, then you can directly contact Apple support using your iCloud email id. They can help you with the process.
To change the iCloud payment method:
Select Settings > iCloud from the main menu
Select the email address associated with your iCloud account. Select Payment Information to modify your payment settings (such as your credit card’s expiry date or billing address). To edit anything else, just touch it.
Can I Use Different Payment Methods for Different Apple Services?
It is not possible to store multiple payment methods for use with various Apple products. You can’t, for instance, pay for your iCloud storage with one card and your iTunes purchases with another.
You can only use one payment method for all Apple products or services associated with a single Apple ID or account.
