What happens to my apps, iTunes card, and iCloud storage if I change my Apple ID?
Depends upon what you mean by change.
If you update your existing account to have a new primary email address then you shouldn't lose any of the account's past purchases, balance, or iCloud storage - you may have to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Sign Out).
If you create a new account then your existing account's purchases, balance and iCloud storage will remain tied to the existing account, you can't transfer them to a new account or merge the new account with the old one.

What happens to my apps when I switch iCloud accounts on my phone?
I'm trying to switch the iCloud accounts from an old one that's acting up to a new one that I've created. When I started to, though, I got worried because it said something about Documents as I tried to delete the iCloud account that was already there.
When you change the iCloud acconts on your phone, what happens to your apps?
1.Are they all deleted?
2. If not, do they just stay and never get updated, or do they all reset?
3. Is there any way I can transfer the purchases to my new iCloud so that I don't have to buy them again?Depends upon what you mean by change.

HT1689 What happened to my App gift cards?
I redeemed two App gift cards on my iPad and neither card is showing up in my account. I have searched and can not find information on this subject. Has anyone had this problem? If so, where did you go to fix the problem? Any advise is appreciated.
Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if the restriction that hides the App store/prevent purchases is set.

You need to make sure your billing address is correct whether or not you use an iTunes gift card or not.

WoodyK,
If you are going to use your iTunes account as you and your partners iCloud account then you need to go into each phone and change your settings. In messages, you need to change from iCloud to the phone number. Create a contact with your unformation and re-train Siri with your name. Let me know if this helps.

If this an indication of what I can expect ........then be warned APPLE I am not happy!!!!!!!!!

I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help. I know there has to be a way to add and remove whole albums and playlists like on the music tab on the device, so please don't tell me to uncheck/delete everything from my iTunes that I don't want and re-sync. That is not helpful and not the issue. How do I get around it threatening to remove all my apps?
On the MacBook, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Advanced > Disable remote control

I just bought a iTunes card and its not accepting it. It already sent it to the support team and they said they were going to get back to my within 24 hours and i am trying to buy a program in the app store for work. How can I expedite this process?
Has it been 24 hours?
I take it this was a gift card. iTunes Store: Invalid, Inactive, or Illegible codes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - gift cards
I don't know if this provides an alternative means: https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column
If you are really desperate you could buy the app yourself, then request reimbursement. -
