multiple credit cards on my App Store account

How do I go about setting up my App Store account with two credit cards? One for personal purchases and one for business purchases?

In other words, ONE account and TWO credit card payment options.


Thank you in advance for your replies!

It is hard to image anyone in their right mind arguing that Apple shouldn't allow for multiple payment methods on one account, which is what this is really about. This is standard procedure at most other major retailers. It is standard procedure at Apple retail stores. Can you imagine if you went into an Apple store and were told that they would only accept one of your credit cards?


This is just another example of Apple dumbing-down their software without any good reason for it. Also, two iTunes accounts is too many for many people, given that they likely have dozens of other account with other companies.

Would be nice to have more payment options available. ie quickbooks Selfemployed app taking subscriptions through app and getting billed via iTunes (personal) account. Would be better (convenient, hi tech, latest technology... Am I making my point Apple?) if this were being billed via my business account. I love Apple, but sometimes I scratch my head? Not to mention that Quickbooks Selfemployed has no ability to change my billing information or that I have access to do so myself? Sometimes it's ironic, it's hard to spend money most importantly in the correct way.

Well here's a real life situation I'm in that no one's mentioned. I have a joint bank account with my girlfriend, that we use for joint purchases - bills, restaurants, and ideally, Apply Music, and movies we watch together.


But if I buy a new iPhone, or a game, she's not going to want to pay for that.


So frankly, all this stuff about business and pleasure - it's all irrelevant. There are other legitimate reasons someone might not want to use the same bank card for everything.

Hello,


Even humble people from Belgium need two cards on one account.

I must admit I am relatively new on Mac-book.

I want to buy Logic for my Mac-book.

Logic to use for work and I want to pay it from work-related Visa card.

My Apple account is personal.

I have already installed some programs on this mac-book: Microsoft office from my office365 account and also Adobe CC form my work-related Adobe account.

A pity for Logic and the Apple way of music making.

I have to stick to my Windows 8 portable and I will use Cubase as before.
