I can't seem to get around the payment option as it doesn't give the option of other anymore. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the guide but it seems the Istore closed the option of selecting other as payment.

The option is actually "None".

Go to iStore. Bottom right, select US flag.

Top menu, click "App Store".

Right bar, scroll down to "Free apps". Select a free app by clicking the "Free" button next to it as you hover over it.

It will pop up asking you to log in or "Create an account"

Click continue and when it asks for payment, click "None"

It works if you are doing it properly. I just did it now to test for you.

No prob.

I haven't used them myself, but a lot of people on the forums recommend Maximum Cards in conjuction with your US iTunes Account. Simply purchase the US gift cards from that site and redeem them in iTunes with your US iTunes account.

I've used Maximus Cards and they were great. They send you the code by email in less than 5 minutes.

yup, I used to buy my own cards from itunes with my US prepaid credit card and paypal but to renew my card would cost $100 so I just use that site instead, I also buy my wow cards.
