Setting up two iPod Touches on one account with gift cards for app and in-app purchases

I have multiple devices on one account - 2 iPod classics, one iPhone 3G and two recently acquired iPod Touches for my 8 year old boys. They want to make in-app purchases (for Dragonville). They each have their own gamecenter ID. I want to set up each of them with gift cards for their purchases. Is this possible?
If not, what is the recommended approach to manage all devices in one place while allowing individual devices to have a seperate payment mechanism?
Thanks.

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
To make sure you only sync the media yoo want, configure iTunes syncing so that only checked media is synced to the idevices.

FYI: you are not speaking to Apple here, this is a user forum.

How to setup

If there are no movies available in the iTunes store in your location then you can't rent via ATV (Make sure you have movies available before you get the gift card). You can still stream content from your computer, but it must be on and running iTunes

Hi can i buy an apple developer account with gift cards?

Hello i want to subscribe to the apple developer program but i dont have a credit card, and i have a few gift cards from my birthday, can i buy an apple developer account with those?

Allow me to expand on this question.
Will Apple allow me to pay the developer program subscription fee with a gift card, but use a credit card for my account verification?
Thanks,

Shared Account with Gift Card credits

We have four people in our family, each with their own USER account on a shared Mac Mini computer. Each user account has it's own iTunes LIBRARY and associated iPod. However, all of the individual iTunes libraries are set-up to use a single iTunes STORE account so that all of the billing goes through a single credit card and it allows us to share songs with each other.
Now we are giving the kids iTunes gift cards for things such as Christmas and making honor roll. However, when they redeem their cards using their user account and their library, it appears that the STORE lumps all of the cards together so that it is no longer clear which child has which value remaining and it also shows up on our "adult" accounts where we don't want to use their card values at all.
So ... Is there any way to associate a redeemed card with just one user?
Also, now with the new iTunes family share version, is it possible instead to create a separate STORE account for each person, but use the same billing info for each and then be able to share our libraries even though we would no longer share the same Store account?

I can go and create a separate store account for each of us and each of the kids and bill it all to one credit card. Then they can each have and track their own redeemed card amounts on their individual store accounts. RIght?
Correct.
1) Will we still be able to apply parental rules to what they can access / download now that they will have a separate store account?
Yes. The Parental Controls apply regardless of what iTunes Store account the instance of iTunes happens to be logged into. Otherwise it would be too easy to defeat just by the user logging into another iTunes Store account.
2) Will we still be able to select the option which will require them to get our approval (password) before they can download something new?
It would work just like it does now. If you don't give them the password to their own iTunes Store account, they can't buy anything, but if they know the password, you can't stop them other than by using the Parental Controls to lock off the iTunes Store.
3) When songs are downloaded now, they go into their respective library for the user doing the downloading. Then if we want to share it with each other we just access that library on the hard drive and import it into the new library. Pretty easy. But ... I thought that originally when I tried to do this, it wouldn't allow it because of whatever the coding is on the file that showed it was coming from a "different" account and so that was one of the reasons I put everyone on a single account if (I remember correctly).
If an item is copy-protected, the computer must be authorized to that iTunes Store account. But that authorization should apply across all user accounts on a single computer and should happen automatically when the iTunes Store account is set up for the first item is purchased through the account. Almost all music on the iTunes Store now comes without copy protection, though, so the issue probably won't arise very often unless your kids are downloading videos, TV shows or movies.
Regards.

Done what? All you can do with an iTunes gift card is redeem it:

Can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts?

can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts? on two different computers?

A Gift card will add a specified amount of mony to an iTunes account identified with a specific Apple ID (email address and password combination).
If that Account is set up on both Devices, then they will share the money balance in that account. And can purchase things in the store with that balance.

I had an apple ID that I could never remember. I did manage to redeem a gift card on it with a balance still remaining. I made a new apple id today, and it says I cant use the remaning gift card money on any of my apps with my new apple id? The balance shoes up on my new apple id but it wont work? I tried to log in under my old apple id, but I cant as my new one as been created?

Thank You?

Any purchases and downloads associated with an apple id are forever tied to that apple id. You can not merge any content, purchases, or info between the two accounts.

HT201209 Can I use my ITunes gift card with a different apple ID?

Is it possible to use my ITunes Gift card with a new apple ID, that I am trying to create? I keep getting a message that says "Invalid Code"

Neither you, your friend, nor Apple can reset the card or transfer the unused balance to your account in any way.

I've used up several gift cards playing games on my iPad. Now I want to put back in my main credit card that I use playing games and it won't take it. Says there are too many cards associated with this apple ID. I have no idea what to do now -- anybody?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Can you buy from iTunes with gift cards rather than use a credit card?

I have given my 17 year old nephew an ipod for his birthday and as he doesn't have a credit card can he use gift cards to buy from the iTunes store without one? Do you have to have a credit card to open an iTunes account? I wanted to give him a gift card to start him off with the iPod as he doesn't have many cd's to load on to it.

Yes, he can create an account and make purchases with gift card.
When he gets the gift card, have him open the iTunes store and click on Redeem at the top right under *Quick links*.
Input the card number then select *Create new account*.
Input the personal info and when it gets to credit card info, select None.

HT201209 iTunes will not use the redeemed gift cards on my account, I have a $30 credit and when I try to purchase a song it goes right to my credit card on file. Why does this keep happening

iTunes will not use the redeemed gift cards on my account, I have a $30 credit and when I try to purchase a song it goes right to my credit card on file. Why does this keep happening???

Any time you've changed anything in your billing, it does this once to very things.

HT2534 I want to use an iTunes gift card as the back up for in app purchases for a so called free app instead of my credit card or having my bank account emptied.

I want to use an iTunes gift card as the back up for in app purchases for a so called free app instead of my credit card or having my bank account emptied.
How can I do this? I saw something about gift cards can only be used for music or movies, not apps.

You can use an iTunes gift card for app, music, movies and other media.To redeem one see:

I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found. I have used the gift card previously with no issue. How do I fix it?

Have you moved or deleted those tracks on your computer (the gift card has got nothing to do with it) ?
You might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) - if those songs appear there then delete the entries from your iTunes library (where you are clicking on them to play them and gettinf the 'original file' error), and they should then get a cloud symbol against them for re-downloading.
If they don't appear in that link then have you got them on, for example, an external drive ?
