Q: Very irritated right now. My son was given 3 itunes giftcards for christmas. I have an apple ID but have never purchased from itunes. Every time I try to buy something it will not allow me in because I am not willing to give my credit card info...

Why do they require my card info when I just want to use the gift cards??????????????????????? I have no intention of purchasing anything beyond the gift card amount. And aside from that, what happens when someone does not use/have cards???? Are they just out of luck??
