iPod touch Prepaid itunes card

Same problem in Canada

When I click update, I get:
- Terms for 2.0 Update
- Then login to buy
- Then login to add payment method
- Then a billing screen, with the option of none
- Clicked none, returns me to iTunes Store

EXACT same here, is it worth adding the CC or is that whats going to happen anyway?

Has any Canadian successfully purchased 2.0 yet?
 
Unfortunately, I'm credit card-less. So Apple better offer me a way to buy this.

Even if it comes down to me going and buying a retail box with the firmware update code like with MobileMe (which I actually had to do today:D).
 
I don't get why they would do this for this update, you could buy the January update with a prepaid card, I did.

update. Music can be downloaded via cards but apps require a credit card at least in Canada

Well, I guess it's a good thing that I got a $50 iTunes Card just for this...

Is this just an issue in Canada or is it happening elsewhere? Hopefully, it's just that : an issue.
 
i was thinking of buying an itunes card to pay for the update..
so it doesnt work for the people in canada only right?
 
Sorry guys. Seems this is intended. From the App Store terms...

For the US :

10. PAYMENT METHODS. The Service accepts credit cards, payment through your PayPal account, and iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, and Allowance Account balances as forms of payment.

For Canada :

I've sent an e-mail to Apple to see if they can help in any way
 
I sent the e-mail using the iTunes support form. Although someone might want to send one to Steve. I find this very annoying but I'd settle just for knowing why we can't use credits
 
I once saw mastercard pre paid cards in a shoppers drug mart. They were sort of like a gift card idea. Do you think that that would work?
