The Thing i love about apple is you can make accounts in different countries, i recently recieved a promo code for indigo ocho for the app store and me being from the Uk and stupid tried it and not to my suprise it didnt work. I thought to myself hmm i wonder if you can just redeem in the usa store without putting credit card details in, so i tried it and too my delight it worked and im playing it as i type haha Maybe you guys could do it for the UK Store because we have some different apps to you from my experience in the USA store Just a thought
Hi iRyan, I am aware of international users redeeming promo codes from the US App Store. I have been tempted to do so myself, as promo codes don't work in Canada either. I have not purchased through the US store, however, as I am pretty sure it violates the iTunes EULA; though I have not heard stories of Apple enforcing that policy.
Yes i heard lots of people do it which gave me the nudge to go ahead because i was nervous incase i violated some terms but nothing yet . Jim if youve got codes and dot reedem there going to waste my friend i would just make an account and get them apps . And besides. Whats wrong witu making an account in uk and us? Surely they wouldnt give you the option of changing countries if it violated terms?
I think you are given the opportunity to change countries because some people move; some people have dual citizenship. True, there is nothing ethically objectionable about shopping in a foreign store, and there is enough gray area to defend the act if necessary, but nothing has yet 'nudged' me over to the US site. I just give away promo codes when I get them: it makes others happy and that is the greatest gift of all.
Wow your a reqlly nice guy for doing that and i juat hope one day that someone giives you a promo code for an amazing game and you use it so your happy
If it turns out so mess up your app updates, you know that the cause of it is the multiple accounts you're using. I also tried it, but I could only get updates for my Dutch account if there were updates for the US account as well. And since I only had very few games on the US account, I hardly ever got the updates for my Dutch account. So I stopped using the US account, removed those games and setup my iPod Touch as new. That fixed it but I had to replay all my games.
