Set up itunes account with two different credit cards

Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
for this purchase I am considering:
1. going into the "edit payment information".
2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
3. completing the purchase and download
4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
any advice appeciated. TIA.

This is incorrect.
It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion.  Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines.  I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly.  If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
I also wanted to install iPhoto.  I bought iPhoto on my personal account.  I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account.  Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my  house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds.

  • Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

    Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

    It is still not possible to have two credit cards with your iTunes store account. I've just had a discussion with an Apple representative who suggested I give feedback to Apple about this. The more we are, Apple might listen to us in the end.
    This is the link
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Please feel free to use or modify what I wrote there:
    I’m surprised as are many other people who have the same issue (can see this in many forum threads) that Apple don’t give us the possibility to have at least 2 credit cards with one AppleID/account like most other vendors do (even much smaller than Apple). This certainly forces people to buy some stuff elsewhere that they otherwise would have purchased from Apple (for example books) or restrain from buying things they would have bought if they had a choice to use a second Credit Card.
    Not having this option puts me in a precarious situation since it would not be OK to buy just anything with the Credit Card that is tied to my business (and in many cases like mine the business is only one person, the VAT No being the same as my social security No).
    Sole traders need an option too.

  • I have two Ipods andwant t oset up two Itune accounts with two different libraries

    I have two Ipods and want to set up two Itune accounts with two different libraries.  Can this be done?

    You can, but switching iTunes libraries and store accounts is generally more hassle than it is worth. You can sync each device with selected purchases and if you have more than one iOS device disable the option to Automatically include new apps, then apps purchased on one device won't automatically load onto the other.

  • I live in Italy and opened my itunes account with an Italian credit card. I want to access only English itunes and Apple said I need to open separate accounts. Any suggestions?

    I live in Italy but am Australian and opened my itunes account with my Italian credit card and address, but that does not let me access itunes in any English country which is what I had wanted. Apple tell me I need to open separate accounts, complete with address and tel. Yesterday they told me I could do that with an itunes prepaid card but on the Aust itunes store the card was considered invalid (obviously because it is in Euro) Any suggestions? I am sure I am not the only person living in another country who needs access to itunes in their mother tongue......how backward is Apple!

    To be able to download content from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country, and be in that country when buying from it.
    Apple can only sell content where the content provider's grant them licenses to do so, so if the music etc that you want to buy isn't available in the Italian store then it's because the provider's aren't letting Apple sell it there. Do you have access to other music purchase download sites which have the content that you want ?

  • USA iTunes account with non USA Credit-Card

    Hi, I'm from Armenia. And iTunes Store of Armenia is not very good, that why I get an USA account. But now I want to add Armenian credit card to my account. Is there any way to do it?  When I want to add it via AppStore app on iPhone, I get an error saying "Your payment method info. dosen't match your bank's records". What can I do??

    You can't, you also need to be in the US to use the US iTunes store, accessing a country's store from outside of that country is against the store's terms of use which you agreed to.

  • Hi my partner used my email address and iTunes account to set up his iPhone and now both our phones have merged! Does anyone know how to separate these? Can he still use our iTunes account with a different Id or email! Please help!!

    HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!

    Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
    For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
    For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
    I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

  • I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do that?

    I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do this?

    Any purchases made from the iTunes Store, on your computer, AppleTV, or iOS device, use the same billing information that is associated with your account. To pay with a different credit card, log in to your account and change the payment options associated with your account. If you want to use different payment options on different devices, you may want to consider utilizing multiple iTunes accounts, each with its own payment options.

  • Can you set up an iTunes account w/out a credit card?

    Ok, here's the deal... I'm buying a 10 year old an iPod Touch for Christmas.  She needs to have her own iTunes account for purchasing stuff (apps, music, etc.) Is it possible to set up an iTunes account WITHOUT adding a credit card? I need her to operate completely off of iTunes gift cards so that I can 1) controll how much she spends, 2) avoid having to either enter my password every time she wants to buy a Justin Bieber song with my debit card, and 3) avoid random charges popping up on my credit card whenever she does purchase said Bieber songs by letting her know the password in an attempt to accomplish task #2... 
    Is there a way to set up an iTunes account without entering billing information? So that the account operates on 100% iTunes credit?  Is there a parental setting to block access to the card used to set up the account? With all the kids with iPods there has GOT to be a way to set this up... or else there are probably a LOT of broke parents chasing after them....
