Today, I received a $50 iTunes card for my birthday. I immediately sat down at my computer and starting buying all my newest favorites. Then I realized I never redeemed my card so the $50 was all charged to my account. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I asked everyone for iTunes money, pleased to finally be able to buy some new songs for my iPod. After receiving several gift cards, I discovered that my iPod had been stolen. FML

Today, I saw some random iTunes charge on my bank account so I called who I thought was iTunes customer support to figure out the $5 charge, then got scammed into buying $1,400 worth of gift cards. The man on the phone was not with iTunes and took all my money. FML

Today, I bought an iTunes giftcard worth $50. I tried to scratch off the little silver thing covering the code with a pair of scissors. I scratched so much that it's now unreadable. FML

Today, I celebrated my birthday with my family. As part of my presents, my parents gave me prepaid debit card. When I got home, I looked at it again and realized it's the debit card you get from selling back books to our university bookstore. I bought my own books this year. They gave me my own refund. FML

Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML

Today, I found out that my boyfriend wrote 50 dollars on my gift card just to look generous, it's really only worth five. I found this out after I tried to buy an arm full of clothes. FML

Easy fix, sell the card for what it's worth, then use that money to pay off the account charges. You lose no money, and the card was made useful.

YDI for buying itunes. $50 will get you 5 months on rhapsody with 12 million tracks. You'll be sick of those tracks you bought by then.

Except that with Rhapsody, you don't own the music you download, so if you ever cancel your subscription, you can't listen to a single song. That means you could pay hundreds of dollars and end up with nothing. Know what happens if you spend any money whatsoever on iTunes? You have that music forever. And some people DON'T get sick of the music they like, and actually want to be able to listen to them for more than a few months. Point to iTunes (or any non-subscription based download service).
