concerned I might lose data...

Before I posted this last message, for the life of me I couldn't find the card number. When I looked and couldn't find a number, I just assumed, after all I've heard, that there really wasn't a card number. I've found it (blush). I can use it with both Apple IDs. I can rent and purchase video with both accounts.

Like I said, if I could just get this one issue resolved, I'd be happy with two Apple IDs. I think this can work.

Let me see if I can explain this any better.

First there was iTunes. I've got an ID for that. Let's call it my iTunes ID. I've loved it! Apple got me hooked. I love Apple! Thank you Steve Jobs!

• Then there was the Mobile Me software. I've got an ID for that.
• Then Apple converted Mobile Me to iCloud. That took some time. I appreciate the free storage offered for the duration of the conversion. And I use the same ID for iCloud today that I did for Mobile Me (the original me.com ID while using the icloud.com alias).
• Along comes Apple Pay. It's been great. It requires an ID signed into iCloud. Not a problem. except I cannot use it to purchase anything in the App store or for iTunes purchases.
• Now I've got the new Apple Credit Card with no card number. I love the idea! It's just that I cannot use it to purchase music, apps, movies, etc., if I am using my iTunes ID and not an iCloud ID for that.

Can Apple allow us to purchase iTunes Store related stuff with a credit card that has no number? Like the Apple Credit Card? Because as it is today, right now, the iTunes app and appleid.com needs a credit card number. If this part can be fixed, I'd be more than happy to continue with two Apple IDs.

I don't know what to do. I want to continue to buy movies and TV programs from my Apple TV. I still buy music, too.

What are my options? What do you suggest I do? Anybody?

Thanks for listening.

Thank you, Eric. I appreciate it. It's nice to have the link when I need it.

Unfortunately, this is a much, much bigger problem than I originally thought. It's a real mess. After all I've learned today since I signed up for the Apple Credit Card, it is way too big of an issue to simply give feedback without getting a response. I'm writing it up right now.

I will post it in this thread. It involves Apple IDs (the root cause of the problem), iTunes, iCloud, Apple Pay, and the new Apple Credit Card.

Thanks again. :)
