Using American Express gift card in iTunes Store?

Hey everyone,

I once again need iHelp. So, first and foremost, I got an American Express Gift card for $25.00. I really don't have anything to spend it on, so I just thought.... 'Hey, why not try to use it in iTunes? I could use some more music and apps, right?' So, I did some research on-line and found one really stupid answer:

Asker: (please insert my question here)
Answerer: Use the American Express card to buy an iTunes gift card.

No. Uh uh. Couldn't anyone do that? Well, thats the thing. I did some more reading and found that someone said they could run the gift card, as long as it had the 13-15 digit code on the front and the 3 digit P.I.N./Security Code, as a credit card. I was just wondering if I really could trust the people on-line? I'm looking for a great answer that I can award points to. Thanks,

Sincerely,
iNeed iHelp

No you can't trust the people on line.

I haven't tried to use an AmEx gift card, and don't know if it would work. But it would only take a minute of your time to try it out. Other than that...
