Inability to use Canadian credit cards for gift purchase in the UK
Much to our disapointment we have discovered that Apple does not accept Canadian Credit Cards for any purchases to anyone in the UK. We are part of the same Commen Wealth are we not?? We are trying to purchase an iPad for our daughter who lives in Wales, United Kingdom and have tried the Canadian Apple website, the UK Apple website and have tried several 1 800 numbers, with NO success. The last number we were given said that we could absolutly have our request looked after but after speaking to the UK representative, they were unable to help. We were told "We accept credit cards from many countries but Canada ia NOT one of them".
Last we checked Canada is in a better finacial position than many other countries in the world. This is discrimination against Canada.
Completely disappointed and mystified. Has anyone been able to work around this problem??
