So even since Take 2 I've been spending way to much $$ on my Apple TV. (Thanks a lot Apple)

At any rate, I'm tired of the few dollars at a time charges showing up on my CC statement as I purchase movies and such.

Is there any way, short of going out and buying ITMS gift cards, to add a bulk amount, say $100, to my account so it will be just one charge to hold me over for a time?

Thanks

An iTunes store allowance would do the trick ;)

See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302058

The iTunes Store features a nifty way for you to give a gift that keeps on giving—it's called an iTunes Allowance. An iTunes Allowance allows you to send a monthly iTunes Store credit to a family member, friend, or colleague in an amount from $10 to $200.

Each month, your chosen amount will automatically be added to your recipient's iTunes Store account. The full allowance amount will be charged to your credit card on the first of each month (you aren't charged based on your recipient's usage).

Think of an iTunes Allowance like a piggy bank. Some lucky kids get a monthly allowance and they trade the entire amount for stuff each month. Other kids might decide to put their allowance in a piggy bank and spend it later. iTunes Allowance works the same way as a piggy bank. Unused allowance credit rolls over from month to month until the recipient spends it.

You can do an allowance, or an electronic gift card (no physical card used).

And there you have it. I assume because I'm using the same ITMS account for iTunes and Apple TV, it doesnt matter where I ad the credit.

Quite True. The Gift Card is cool because they just send the code to you in an email.
