Not able to sign up for iTunes Match with iTunes Gift Card

Last night I purchased $30.00 worth of iTunes Gift cards , redeemed the cards against my iTunes account and attempted to sign up for the iTunes Match ($24.99 per year) only to find out that I must provide a credit card on file before they will allow me to sign up. I never imaged that Apple would require a credit card on file. One of the reasons that I chose Apple products was the ability to purchase with iTunes Gift cards to reduce my risk of fraud when the account become compromised .
Also I have Apple IDs for each of my children and they receive iTunes Gift cards as presents that they purchase Apps, Music etc that they want. That way when they grow up and leave home they have their own Apple accounts to take with them. Apple should want life long Apple customers!!   Just to let you know 14 year olds don’t normally have credit cards and I would never put my Credit Card info attached to their account. So if they own a Laptop, iPhone and iPad they are discriminated from using your iTunes Match because they don’t have a credit card? Really????
Apple to just let you know that I have a Microsoft XBOX Live membership that I purchase a Live gift card once a year to renew my subscription. I can’t believe that Microsoft can figure out how to provide customers a better user experience that Apple.
Please fix this quickly as I would like to use your iTunes Match and other iCloud services that you plan on releasing later this year however I will not be using my credit card so I may have to look for other device options.   If you need any help figuring out how to meet your business requirements please let me know as I would be glad to provide suggestions.
Thank you,

PS If any one over there knows a way around this please let me know.

I've been through the same ordeal. I wanted to renew my iTunes Match service, had over $100 credit in the iTunes Store, but wasn't able to use that credit to pay for the renewal. Apple requires you have a valid, working credit card on file to renew for some reason. But once you put in a credit card, the charge is actually taken from your store credit, not the credit card. So, it's very odd and doesn't make any sense to me, either. But there's no way around it without a credit card, that's what Apple Support told me when I contacted them about this same issue.

Hello, MirriamMon.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are unable to purchase items from the iTunes Store as it is requiring your old credit card information. You can try and change your payment method to none and see if it will allow you to make a purchase using your gift car. However, if there are any outstanding balances, you will be required to enter credit or debit card information before you can make purchases.
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?
Cheers,
Jason H.

Go to your account on your computer and set the credit card to none. This will allow you to use the gift card.

Purchase ipod with iTunes gift card

is it possible to purchase iPods or accessories with itunes gift cards? Thanks.

No, terms of use for gift cards clearly state that they can only be used for the purchase of content from the store, such as movies, music, games, etc.

HT2736 How can I find out how much is left on my ITunes gift card?

How can I find out how much is left on my ITunes gift card?

My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account on it (via the Store > View Account menu option). On my iPad and iPhone it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)

How do I find out how much is left on my itunes gift card

How do I find out how much is left on m itunes gift card?

Once you redeem the card, there is no value left on it. The Redeem process puts the full amount as a credit balance into your account, and then you spend it down by using your account.
As Gnome notes, you can always see how much is credit balance is on your account.

Because iTunes simply wants you to verify your name & address is correct in your account info.

How to pay for song on wifi itunes?

Hi, i have looked around but cant find an answer anywhere.
I got £50 worth of itunes gift cards and i redeemed them last week, my itunes account is currently in credit of £34.04 after i bought some ipod games.
today i bought a song on my iphone via wi-fi itunes, it downloaded fine and sync'd fine too,
but, my itunes account is still in credit by £34.04.
Can somebody please tell me how i would have been charged for the song i downloaded?

Did you link a credit card to your itunes account? If you were trying to redeem a gift card you have to use the "redeem" button I believe, otherwise your purchase would be charged to your credit card. I've no experience with purchasing music with itunes other than the free tunes Starbucks was giving away earlier this month.

How can I purchase the 2.0 update for my touch with iTunes gift card?

I purchased an iTunes gift card from BestBuy yesterday specificaly fr the 2.0 update for the touch, but when I get home, I find out that I can buy it unless I use a credit card...BECAUSE I LIVE IN CANADA!? Honestly Apple, you are basicaly begging me to jailbreak my iPod. I don't mind paying for the update, but I want to use my gift card! I'm only 16 so I can't have a credit card. I don't want my $20 dollars to go to waste, it's not as if I'm going to buy music with it, as downloading music is LEGAL here in Canada.

Even though I have a credit card I manage my iTunes account use gift cards. I prefer to keep the credit card for emergency purposes only since it's too easy for me to get carried away with it and run up the balance.
The problem here is in the Canadian iTunes Store you _can not_ use store credits for software or game purchase. According to this post - http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=231967 - it is apparently against Canadian tax laws and commerce restrictions to purchase these with store credits or gift cards. Also as suggested in other posts here using PayPal to add credits to your iTunes account will not work since they are credits.
I don't really understand the issue here. I pay cash for my store credits and I pay cash to pay off my credit card. My gift cards were probably bought with a credit card. This will restrict sales in Canada since I would guess the majority of iPod owners are too young to obtain a credit card.

Moving abroad: can I pay with iTunes Gift Cards only?

Hi,
In September I'll be moving to Germany for 9 months as part of my uni degree. I want to change the country of the iTunes Store so I can buy songs when I'm in Germany.
At the moment there is no credit/debit card associated with my account - I have always paid for songs using Gift Cards. I plan to add my UK debit card sometime soon to spend the remaining Gift Card balance (as the full balance must be spent before switching countries), and then remove the debit card from my account. Then, when I get to Germany and change the iTunes Store country, I want to purchase a Gift Card and use it to start buying songs in Germany.
What I would like to know is: is this possible? Or do I have to link a German credit/debit card to my accouint to buy songs after switching countries?
Thank you,
Katie

Hi PurpleOmNom,
You can redeem and use an iTunes Gift Card without a credit card. From:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1574
If you already have an account, you can redeem your gift card without using a credit card. If you don’t have an account, you can create a new account without payment information.

Can you pay for netflix with itunes credit?

I was just wondering if you can use credit from a itunes gift card to pay for netflix through apple tv? I have been toying with the idea of getting an apple tv for a while now, and when I saw that you can pay for netflix through the newer models I was curious. But I didn't know if you had to use a credit card or could use a gift card. I would rather use the gift card. Thanks to anybody who answers.

Paying iTunes Match with iTunes Gifts Card

I have US iTunes Store account which I open a few years ago while I was living in US. I am now working overseas (Singapore) the past year and do not have US credit Card anymore as I have applied for the local Credit Cards in Singapore. I buy my stuff from Itunes Stores using "iTunes Gift Cards" instead.
Now that I want to pay for the US$24.99 for iTunes Match using my iTunes Gift Cards but it prompted me for a US credit card before I could subcribed. Why can"t Apple accept payment by iTunes Gift card? I have no problem subscribing to MOBILE ME using my local credit card.
I hope Apple will do something for US citizen
