THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Seriously dude, you saved my life! Darn Apple wants a credit card to update the same app that I purchased with my Mac. That’s stupid.
it worked! thanks a lot. ur a life saver
Another very CRAZY thing with Apple.
Thanks for this. You are like a fairy godmother.
Thanks a lot.. It’s working… Please anyone see this website, please click on Redeem as mentioned in this block instead of sign in.. (Because I did more times blindly 😉 )
This is no longer working. The “review” information is annoying and won’t show the “none” option .
Never mind. Doing it multiple times helps and brings up the none button. Sorry and thanks for the help!
thanks alot it works for me

Yes, yes, FINALLY! I found so many sites that showed what to do BEFORE the account is created. This is brilliant!
A red message “For assisatance, concats iTunes Support” keeps popping, I’m giving up. So frustrating.
