    Not true - I use a debit card to pay for my Apple Developer subscription (from the UK).

    You are probably getting confused with buying apps from the US App Store (with a UK card) - the Apple Developer subscription is totally different.

    As someone suggested earlier just get a family member or mate to pay for it (and you give them the cash/cheque).

    i used my debit card to purchase my developer program. its a particular type of card here. its almost the same as a regular bank card except it has VISA on it. most of the banks here (new zealand) let you apply for one becuase its not a full credit card, or a credit card at all (but lets you do whatever a VISA can do) and its not based on your credit rating or anything. you use your own funds from your own bank account so theres no risk of them losing any money or what not. my credit rating sucks aswell when i applied for it. if what you're doing with the cheques doesn't work out then maybe you could look into what some other banks are offering if you join them to see if you can get one.

    Why send a cheque anyway when you can just do a bank transfer using the details you posted (in post #7)? It appears to be because you need some number? Is it just the Enrollment ID (10-digit hex number), or some 5-digit code, or just a follow-up ID given to you when signing up? In any of these cases they are sent to you to the email address you gave them when signing up. I'm pretty sure they just need some sort of reference so they can link the payment to the developer registration (most likely your developer AppleID).

    Which one?

    THanks

    I am just wondering which one I should enroll with?
    As it says

    option 1 #

    I have an Apple ID I would like to use for my enrollment in an Apple Developer Program.


    option 2 #

    I'm registered as a developer with Apple and would like to enroll in a paid Apple Developer Program.

    Sounds like you've got a steep hill to climb - I recommend just registering as a developer for now (which is free) and trying out the SDK and iOS emulator.

    You can create an entire app without paying anything and run it on the (free) iOS emulator on your Mac -- you only need to pay the £59 when you actually want to run it on a physical device and upload it to the App Store.

    If you haven't even started development yet there is really no rush to enrol in the paid agreement - just play around with the SDK for a while trying out samples and demos and you'll soon know if it's for you. Good luck :)

    What do you think to that for customer service?

    What has that got to do with customer service replying to None USA registration problems?
