« iTunes Gift Card - Quite Possibly the Perfect Pressie »

Just got my first Amex statement.
I’m embarrassed about the wee $0.99 charges that litter the bill like puppy footprints on a clean floor.
There isn’t many, less than 10. But there’s got to be a better way. I wish I could set up iTunes so that I could put a “Buy Julie a Song” link on facebook, or jules.ca - Imagine how neat that would be?
Heck - you can’t even buy a coffee for $0.99.  But you could sure put a smile on someones face for a LONG time, if you bought them a song.

Hmmmm - buying a smile for a song(tm). I like that.

The only feature that comes close to what I want is the iTunes Allowance. But get this - when I try to set up an allowance, it doesn’t let me - you can’t set an allowance for yourself. Cripes!!! I’m stuck with puppy prints of iTunes song purchases on my Amex statement forever. I wonder if I can buy myself a gift card. Likely not. Grrr.

You can only set up allowances for other people. But it still doesn’t let me get other people to contribute ;-) Heh. Still - I’d love to purchase songs for other like-minded people - this doesn’t have to be a one way street :-)

I just heard about the allowance. Wasn't really looking for it until I got an email from apple saying they were charging me $75 (can you blame me - Babylon 5 is on there now).

The only way probably is to go buy a gift card every month. Its sensible and pretty easy. This one-click buying is going to bankrupt me otherwise so I am possibl going to resort to that. Or, more drastically, just freeze my computer like some people do with their credit cards. But then I couldn't check my blog to that ideas out.

Lets just let Apple know that it would be a useful feature. They'll listen if enough folks want it.
