Q: Different Billing Options for itunes and ibooks?

I was given a gift card to use for downloading itunes. I want to purchase an ibook for business and charge my credit card. Is there a way I can have the amount of the book purchase charged to my credit card instead of deducted from my gift card balance?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

A:

Sorry but no, that won't be possible. If this was for an app, music or movie, you could as a workaround give yourself a gift of the item, but books at this time cannot be gifted. Your only other option will be to set up a new iTunes Store account for use when making business purchases and enter in your credit card into that account and avoid using gift cards. Many people, including myself, have separate accounts for business and personal purchases.

 

Regards.

    Thanks, varjak. That's what I thought I would have to do but was hoping I had just missed another option. Wish there was a simple "Payment Options" button to click so I could use different cards with the same account. I appreciate the confirmation.
