Can I use VCC (Virtual Credit Card) For my apple id ?

I want to ask , Can I use VCC (Virtual Credit Card) For my apple id ?

I have just discovered this fact in the past two weeks when I needed to update the expiration date on a virtual credit card number which I have had registered on my iTunes account for years. Apple claims this is a long time policy but considering that I was able to keep using the same VAN for several years by updating the expiration date, I believe the implementation of the policy is recent.
I spoke to two different Apple support people just now and they were apologetic and advised that I leave feedback about the issue at this site:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
using the option to leave feedback in the category of managing my iTunes store account.
The support manager told me that the reason for this policy is that it is easy for hackers to steal these virtual numbers and use them--which is ridiculous, because the whole point of the VAN is that it is tied to one vendor only once it is used, and if the vendor changes even one letter in the name when they put through the charge on the credit card account, the charge is refused (at least the way my credit card issuer handles VANs). With any other form of payment, Apple and I would still have a problem with unauthorized charges on the iTunes store and I would have an even bigger problem if the hacker stole my real credit card number and used it anywhere they pleased.
I think this issue should be spread widely on tech sites and anyone who is having this problem should also be sure to leave feedback on the address above as it is supposedly taken very seriously. This is a step backward as far as I am concerned. I love Apple products and will figure out a different way to pay for my various iTunes subscriptions in the meantime but I am certainly not a happy camper right now.

  • Can we use the same credit card for multiple customers???

    One of my clients has a requirement where they need to use the same Credit Card number for multiple customers. I have looked into the possibility of using the 'Alternate Payer' functionality but besides that is there any other way SAP can be tweaked to accept the same credit card on multiple customer accounts?
    Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you may provide.
    SJ

    I know SAP throws an error message which is why I was looking for a solution. I do have a work around. By pointing to an 'Alternate Payer' on the Payment Transactions tab on the customer master you can have a credit card on this alternate payer master record and use this payer on several other customers. All these customers will not have any credit card stored on their master records.
    Thanks for your response though.

  • How can I use an American credit card to pay for a membership from outside the US?

    How can I use an American credit card to pay for a membership from outside the US? My payment page is set up for Japanese credit cards. I can't change to the US store, because the "Select a Store" page just jumps to the "Products" page.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Batt5721,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    The address and the country on the Credit Card should match the billing address then only payment would be possible.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship.  Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland.  The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
    At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them.  Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland.  For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

  • TS1646 I use and overseas credit card for purchases but Itunes is insisting on a credit card issued within NZ where I live.?

    Why can I not use and overseas credit card for purchases?  My account information is insisting on a credit card issued within my country of residence..?

    iTunes doesn't allow a credit card that was issued by a bank in another country (possibly because it's a way of confirming that you are able to buy from a country's store) - you will only be able to use a credit card issued by a New Zealand bank. Or you could use iTunes gift cards as your payment method, as far as I can see they are available in New Zealand.

  • Can I use an iTunes gift card for icloud storage back up

    Can I use a iTunes gift card for icloud storage back-up

    You can use them to buy ibooks from the ibookstore - and also for items from iTunes, the app store and Mac App Store.
    I assume that you are going to give the card(s) as presents ? You can't buy a card, redeem it onto your account, and then use your account's balance to gift items from the store, gifting can only be done via a credit card (and ibooks can't be gifted).

  • How to use the same credit card for more than one customer master

    Hi,
    this is a question for consultants at least a little familiar with SAP business partner, Customer-vendor-intergration cvi, contract accounting:
    My customer wants to store the same credit card with more than one customer. Arguments are that family members or partners may mutually agree to use the same credit card for their distinct purchases.
    I never tried with amazon or the likes but I know that SAP validates the uniqueness of credit cards.
    I found 6 code line where the message (V/)005 "Payment card &1 &2 is already assigned to customer &3" prohibits duplicate assignment.
    Even if I create a couple of enhancements to suppress the error, I don't know how the system will work.
    The customer does not like the idea of using alternative payer.
    Did you ever face the same problem and how did you solve it?
    Much Thanks in advance
    Best regards
    Clemens

    thanks

  • HT201303 Can I use the same Visa card for multiple accounts?

    Can I use the same Visa card for mine and also my partners apple account? Or is it one card can be linked to only one account?

    You can use one card for a few account. I would believe it you attempted to use it on too many accounts (5+), it may cause some issues. But using the same card on two accounts is fine.

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
