How can i change the country of my Apple ID without giving out any Credit Cards?

HI. I have the problem of having a Gift Card from the United States and an Apple ID from Colombia. I tried to change the country, but it only lets me continue if i give away a Credit Card number. I don´t want to do that, but neither, i want to lose my 25 bucks. Any advice?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You cannot use an iTunes Gift Card from the US iTunes/Mac AppStores in Columbia. You should only change the country of your Apple ID if it is true that you have moved to that country and now have the qualifications to use your account in that country; you must have a valid bank card in that country with a vaild billing address for the bank card in that country. There is no way around this requirement.

  • How can I change the Country and Credit card Apple ID without loose the app installed ?

    Hi, I move from Brazil to Qatar and keep using my account at Brazil since I have a credit card there and the old address.
    Today Ireceived a message when I was updating my app at my iPad that I should change my payment method that was rejected (???), I try to update and keep the same message... So now maybe better to use address and card from Qatar.
    I could not understand how can I change the country and shop since everything at the address is linked to Brazil.
    Also I'm afraid to lose the installed app...
    Please, a step by step will help a lot, I have a very low computer experience ...

    You won't lose apps that are installed.   You will lose the ability to update them
    Business with the App stores is restricted to those stores in your formal country of residence (your billing address) and a bank supported credit card from that same country.   You can buy and update apps with those details only in that country.
    If you have established residences and bank supported accounts in other countries you can also use those.   You can buy and update apps in those countries using those details.
    You cannot interchange them.   You cannot merge IDs or purchase details.

    Hello ,
    I will like to change my payment information but my new credit card is not American , Is Canadian .How can i change the country on my billing info? I cant seam to be able to do it .
    Thanks a lot for your help ,

    What country are you in ? If you are in the US then you can only use the US iTune store, and you can't use a Canadian credit card with the US store - a credit card needs to have been issued by a bank in the country where you are.
    If you are in Canada then remove your old credit card from your account and then update your country/region and billing address on your account e.g. by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and 'view Apple id' on the popup, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes

    How can I change the CC size of Apple Store rented movies on the 3rd generation Apple TV (iOS 6.0)?

    So, mich, according from what I've figured out that's not possible on Apple TV. What I actually think is lack of features. Any free software avaliable on Internet has suck a basic feature like that...
    I've contacted Apple about it too, but I think they don't care about me!
