I seem to have a problem now, which i never have before.

my iTunes US account has been in use for years, almost a decade - using vouchers.

Suddenly, its been prompting for a credit-card in addition to vouchers which of course I can't do as i don't have a US card.

Since last week, now ALL my Apple purchases are failing no matter kind, even with a $100 voucher balance because it says i have to load a credit card to continue. I wonder if this is finally Apple's way of ensuring your location for US accounts since with vouchers-only many people overseas have been using them...
 
Jeez I haven't used mine in probably a decade since we got local support.

At least not to pay for stuff, only the odd free app here and there that isn't local.

So it's probably them finally cracking down.

Yeah i need to move it, but to change countries i have to use up all voucher money and subscriptions must have expired and i keep either forgetting one or the other lol.

Are you sure you don't have a subscription running?

Apple Gift Card and Apple Account balance can't be used for some purchases​


  • You can't use your Apple Account balance to send gifts or gift cards.
  • For some recurring charges, like AppleCare+, you can't start your subscription with Apple Account balance. But as long as you keep another valid payment method on file and your Apple Account balance would cover an entire charge, your recurring charge will pull from your Apple Account balance.*
  • Some subscriptions might not be charged to your Apple Account balance.
  • If you use Family Sharing, your family members can't spend your Apple Account balance. Funds that you add to your Apple Account balance are available only to you. Learn more about how purchases bill to your Apple Account balance.
 
No problems on my side - loaded a voucher just two weeks ago for two different subscriptions.
