App store and paying

Question

hi I'm sorta new here so i hope this is the right forum. I have a question regarding paying for apps. i can't pay for apps using a pre paid itunes gift card.(I'm in Canada) and i prefer NOT to use a credit card. Does anyone else have this problem or do you just use a credit card. I gets annoying as I am limited to a low selection of apps. eg. "lite" versions or apps that are on sale or just ones that are free.
