I just bought my iPod and i need to enter billing information to make a purchase from the iTunes Store. Do I have to enter credit card information or will it work with just a gift card?

Q: Do you need to use a credit card to start iTunes and AppStore or can you just use a gift card?
Hello, Rojelio16.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To create an Apple ID without a credit or debit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance. At this point an iTunes gift card can be used as form of payment.
