Seems like the case right now. It's probably what I am going to do, get the iTunes card and then sell it.So you can definitely buy the gift cards then? There are no strings attached?
Sweet. That's not so bad then.
i agree. i do hope that we will be able to use them for iTunes gift cards - i buy all my music from iTunes since i end up listening to everything on my ipod or iPhone anyway. i'm keeping my fingers crossed too!I hadn't really thought about an iTunes card until the OP asked the question. I'll be blown away if you can't use the credit to buy a card. If you think about it, this is the absolute BEST way for Apple to allow us to redeem the $100. There is NO manufacturing cost associated with buying music (as far as an iTunes purchase is concerned), there is no interaction with customer service with the average iTunes purchase, there is no chance for unhappy customers returning an unsatisfactory or defective product - AND (this is the big one) iTunes purchases represent the lowest cost/highest profit for Apple. They'll get the best return on their money by letting us buy songs.
How do you know that songs have the highest profit margin for Apple?I hadn't really thought about an iTunes card until the OP asked the question.

I'm definitely interested in watching this one play out. I buy very little from iTunes, so I have only an academic interest. I'll be buying some sort of speaker setup with my credit. Crossing my fingers for you iTunes buyers...
