LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI usually purchase all my apps using an iTunes US gift card with no problem whatsoever. I am trying to purchase iTunes match using my gift card. I have more in my account than the 24.99 its charging, but it insists on me providing a US credit card with billing address!
ANyone know how to get around this

Re: iTunes match & billing address Hmm. I did see some guys over at Macrumors do it with gift cards. What comes out when you try to purchase it?

Re: iTunes match & billing address You can try emailing to reporting it to Apple itself. They usually respond within 24 hours. They've helped me a lot lately regarding refunding my concerns about purchasing apps and music in iTunes. I'm sure they can help you too. Just explain your issue to them and they'll surely reply to you.

Re: iTunes match & billing address i heard even on beta thats the case already... it seems its a subscription based, so they need a credit card to bill you every... year?
maybe use your relative's credit card in the US that's about to expire?when everybody calls nokia... i answered iPhone; when people peek at windows... i stared at MAC; when humans aim w/ canon... i shoot with Łeica; when they swim with padi... i dive with Naui; when all men wear Hanes... i wear none

Re: iTunes match & billing address You can use your balance in your iTunes account however you still need to put a US based credit card since it is a subscription service.

Re: iTunes match & billing address what i use for my windows phone marketplace account is us-unlocked (link). you could purchase a pre-paid virtual credit card (complete with cvv code and a u.s. billing address). "credits" are purchased in $25 denominations via paypal. maybe you could go this route if the gift card option won't work.

(i am in no way affiliated with us-unlocked--i just made this suggestion as it might help the philmug community)Last edited by kiyobi; 11-15-2011 at 04:10 PM. Reason: corrected link
