i-tunes gift certificate question.

As some of you may know,by obtaining an i-tunes gift certificate for the i-tunes store in another country,it is possible to make purchases from that countries i-tunes store,as opposed to the UK one. I notice from the i-tunes website you can now buy gift certificates and have them emailed to the recipient. So can you,for example,buy a gift certificate for the US store from your UK account and send it to a friend in the US,then have them email the code back to you so you can use it yourself?

No, they thought of that. There are some web sites that will sell you a US iTunes card.

So how would they police it? The trick is to set up an account for the foreign store you want to use,using an email address you've never used with i-tunes before,and then using the gift certificate to pay for purchases instead of registering a credit card,so how would they stop you using the certificate code yourself?

You can only buy gift certificates from a store you are regerstierd to, and you can only register to a store with a credit card or a gift certificate from that country.

So if you genuinely have a friend or relative in the US,Canada,or wherever,that you want to buy an email gift certificate for for their birthday or whatever,you can't do so through the Apple store? That sucks!
