I used an American Express card to purchase my Ipad from Apple online. I have an Apple ID. why can't I use Amex as my payment method when signing in to Itunes?

I have an Apple ID, created when I recently purchased an ipad from Apple online. I used my Amex as payment method. Why can I not use my Amex as payment method when signing in to iTunes for the first time?

Yup, I'm a Kiwi, living in sunny Blenheim. Just seems odd that I can use Amex for purchasing in the Apple store but not in the iTunes store. Perhaps the higher charge set by Amex is not economic for small purchases? Anyway,
I know now what to do now - buy an iTunes gift card and enter the activation code to redeem and sign up. Sorted! Thanks Kappy for taking an interest in my query.

I am going through the same process! It is a nightmare doing anything with adobe. They make it as difficult as possible to get a refund and keep asking me if i want anothe program instead of a refund. They are making me jump through all kinds of hoops to get the refund and refuse to call me. They have ZERO customer service and the only reason they stay in business is because they have no real competitors. It's a shame, but I suggest you reprot them to the Better Business Bureau. I did.

You stopped taking American Express card payments without telling customers

Hello.
I had payed my last couple of bills using an American Express card. During December I tried to pay my bill using my Amex card multiple times, but on each occassion the payment failed and the website gave no reason - something equivalent to "we cannot process your payment". It is important to note that at this time you were still listing "American Express" as a form of payment that you accept and therefore I had no reason to believe that there was a problem with my card. Over the space of a few weeks I tried to pay the bill, and eventually called EE to see what was 'going on'. During the phone call I was told that EE no longer accept Amex - and I paid shortly thereafter with an alternative card. Unfortunately however, I did not pay in time to avoid EE reporting a missed payment to the credit reference agencies, which has had a negative effect on my credit score. At the very least, I would like EE to amend the data they have reported to the credit agencies - if you had given me any reason to believe you didn't take Amex this problem would not have occurred in the first place.
Also - I notice that upon calling 150 from my handset, I am told that I can either pay £0.50 to have my call answered as a priority, or hang-on in the non priority queue to have it answered. I chose the latter, and ended up holding for 15 minutes before being told something along the lines of "we cannot connect your call, please re-dial". I seriously hope that this is not the start of a two tier system whereby unless you pay £.50 to have your call answered - you get a useless level of customer service.
Please look into this.

When you tried to pay originally and the Amex payment was declined why did you not use another card then? The credit marks would seem to be your own fault as in addition to using another card you can pay by online banking, in the bank, set up a direct debit etc... I fail to see how this is EE fault.
Amex charge more to process payments and this could be the reason it is no longer accepted.
You can also contact EE on 07953 966250 from any other phone.
Thanks,

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.

HT5552 Can I use a foreign credit card to purchase music in the UAE (ie: an Australian credit card in the UAE iTunes Store?)

Can I use a foreign credit card to purchase music in the UAE (ie: an Australian credit card in the UAE iTunes Store?)

No, stores are country specific and require a form of payment native to the same country. You would need a credit card issue from a USA financial company or bank, with a USA billing address.

Desperately need help so I can purchase books for my study course!!

Sir,
I thought So too but then I went to Itunes Library and try and buy a single song from an album for $1.29. Now my Itunes Gift card balance is $ 7.10 as I mentioned earlier. it still did not let me buy and kept trying billing my Visa card.
Should I restart my PC and Itunes and retry. What do you suggest?

Why can't I use my iTunes card balance to given an app?

Hi,
I have a balance from an iTunes card. I just sent an app as a gift, but iTunes forced me to use my credit card. Why can't I use my balance?
Thanx
Olivier

From the article from which you came:
Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you can't purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit.
Why Apple has this restriction I don't know, but many other download stores do as well.
Regards.

Why can't I use my Apple gift card for app purchases?

Why can't I use my Apple gift card for app purchases? The Apple store sells iTunes gift cards, but I can't buy one with the remaining balance on my gift card.... Why won't you let me buy what I want to buy?
Terrible policy.....

No idea.
Have you tried?
What happened?
Have you called and asked?

HT4461 Can I use my App Gift Card to purchase I-tunegift cards

Can I use my App Gift card to purchase Itune Gift Card?

No, you can't.
Your iTunes and Mac App Store accounts are the same account. You can buy whatever you want, iTunes content or Mac App Store content, it's all interchangeable. There is no need to buy iTunes cards with App cards.

Passbook sync with American Express Card

I'm having a problem getting an American Express pass for Passbook because their system is saying I have too many iOS devices synced up already. Apparently they limit the number of devices that are allowed to share a pass for one specific AmEx account. I called their customer service line and I was told that they have cleared my account and that I need to contact Apple to have them clear my iCloud account of any AmEx registrations.
The problem is that there is no way to contact Apple without having a device that still has free support or AppleCare, neither of which is the case for me. Any ideas on how to get past the requirement of paying for telephone service when it's an iCloud issue that obviously shouldn't have support cease after a certain amount of time? Thanks!

So, for s***s and giggles, I called up AmEx and asked if I paid back what was discharged if I would be allowed back in. They said if I paid them off and waited the five year mark, I would be considered to be allowed to have a card (Optima product type - OASIS program) given that I had been such a long customer with them prior to filing (they lost around 10K with me but had them for 12 years...). Not sure I'd pay back 10K just to say I have an AmEx card, but, that is what the credit rep told me today...I wouldn't even pay back the $3k I owed them for that deal. I used the heck out of my JetBlue Amex. I fly back and forth between NYC and FL every few weeks and was flipping the limit on my card a few times/month and racking up points like crazy. I miss the card, but I also now realize I used to pay for a lot of things I shouldn't have under the rationalization that I was earning points. I'm sure my spend was outweighing the points benefits. Now I do surveys for JetBlue points, shop online (for things I need) at partner retailers that earn me points, and make sure I fly enough times each year to hit any bonus I'm close to. Which reminds me, I need to book two more tickets for another 7,000 point bonus
