    Long story short, someone sent me $10 in itunes credit but for the wrong email. So I figured, I would just create an itunes account, redeem the credit and then just buy my regular email account a gift card using the redeemed credit.

    Grrrr, well itunes keeps insisting that my credit card will be charged (which I didn't even link one to the account) and there isn't a button to select to pay with current credit.

    1) Is there some way of buying myself a gift card using the redeemed itunes credit?

    2) If I just bought games with it the credit and synced them to my phone will there be any issue updating them or will I have to constantly log in and out of accounts just to check for updates?

    3) Can I authorize both accounts for the one iphone so I don't have to shift back and forth.

    4) Another idea?

    1) I've tried and found no way of buying a gift certificate with itunes credit. charged to my credit card last time I tried :( won't be trying anything ever again

    2/3) In iTunes you'll have to log in/out to check for updates to apps you bought with different accounts. I actually odn't know if you have to do that if updating from iPod/Phone

    4) :/

    Ya, can't you give gifts of $10 to other accounts? Just do that...

    I want to use the $10 in itunes credit to pay for a gift card to my main account, but itunes won't let me do that.
