Q: Separate Credit Card Purchases

If someone who's a part of a Family Sharing group wanted to make a purchase using their own credit card, would they have to leave the group to do so? If so, would they be allowed back into the family after making their own purchase (i.e. does the once a year limit of joining a family count towards leaving/joining a single Family Sharing group)?

    Yes, Apple dropped the ball on this one - doesn't make any sense. My kids are older and they have been making their own purchases using their own credit/debit cards, and they would like to continue to do so. So why does family sharing REQUIRE you to only use the organizers payment method?

     

    No reason why members of the group shouldn't be allowed to use their own payment method for purchases - just stupid Apple....
