Is there a way to avoid putting your credit # on itunes if you use a gift card or a voucher?

Yes, it's in the FAQ. What I did was put my credit card in and then as soon as I was activated went in and removed it. I found out thru the FAQ that there is a way to do it.





I want to create an account with my card, but don't want to enter a credit card.


That's easy! Follow these simple steps





Install the latest version of iTunes. You can download iTunes (it's free) from the Download iTunes webpage. If iTunes is already installed on your computer, check your version and update if necessary.


Open iTunes.


In the Source list (on the left side of the iTunes window), click iTunes Store.


In the upper-right corner of the iTunes Store window, verify that the button next to Account says ';Sign In.'; If this button displays an email address instead, click the button and then click Sign Out.


In the iTunes Store window, click the Redeem link in the right column.














In the resulting screen, enter the 16-digit code printed on the back of the card (it starts with an ';X';), then click Redeem.











In the resulting screen, create your new iTunes Store account. You will have the option to enter credit card information; if you do not wish to do so, click the None button on the Payment screen.


Once you've successfully redeemed your music card, the credit amount will appear next to the Account details in the upper-right corner. Each time you purchase music, iTunes will deduct funds from the credit until it's depleted. If a pending purchase exceeds the credit amount, iTunes will ask you to enter a credit card number. You do not need to re-enter your music card number to make multiple purchases.








Here you go...see if that works for ya!
