I’ve got a iTunes Giftcard from Canada but live in The Netherlands. I plan to change my region to Canada, redeem the Giftcard, spend it and then change the region back to The Netherlands. Is this gonna cause any trouble I might not want?
thanks!

Yes, I’m aware of all this. But I wanna know things like:
might I lose my Canadian purchases? Can you keep on changing countries or is there a limit (maybe max. 1 time in 1 day)? After changing back to The Netherlands (and downloading all my apps), will I still see the apps in my purchased list? I’m aware the article writes you won’t have access once you change country, but it doesn’t say what happens when you change back.
thanks!
