Redeeming An iTunes Code In Australia

December 9th, 2010 | View Comments

Today, JB Hi-Fi Australia had a huge “20% off CDs/DVDs/Games” sale where I purchased the combo pack of “Inception”, which includes DVD + Blu-Ray + Free Digital Copy Code for your iTunes (as well as a comic booklet, if you choose the right one).

I tried to redeem the code using my normal (German) user account, which wouldn’t work, since the DVD was bought in Australia, so the code would only apply in the Australian or New Zealand shop of iTunes. I tried to change my account to Australia, but that didn’t work, since I needed an Australian credit card.

I almost gave up, thinking “I can still do this as soon as I have an Australian credit card”, when I stumbled upon this article about how to create an iTunes account in a different country without having to put in your credit card details.

Guess what? It worked! And I can also still use the music and movies I bought with my German account.

Thanks, mate!
