I am having the same issue, I bought an iTunes gift card, added it to my account, but to buy anything I need my security questions, I can't remember them, and my rescue address is no longer valid, so I'm in a catch 22 situation.

I can't change my rescue address without my security questions, and I can't reset security questions without my rescue email address working. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
