    Every time I register a new 3V card with the Itunes store, I am charged €2 to verify the card.

    Am I entitled to get this money back from itunes?

    I could but I prefer using the 3v card at the moment as I have to use it up. Plus, losing the €2 means I don't have enough for the album I want now.

    they took it off me a few times too, but always refunded it to my itunes account a few days later...i think its a payment safety thing for pre paid 'cards'...

    This used to happen me all the time when I used 3V cards for XBox Live / Microsoft Points, there'd be a 'test' transaction to be sure it was valid. Generally, I'd get the money back on the card later, but it was annoying.

    Have you tried using one of the 'prepaid' master cards? Some shopping centres have gift cards that are actually a Prepaid Master Card and can be used online for shopping (not just in the shop you bought it). I know Blanchardstown do them, and I think Dundrum shopping centre.

    There was a thread on the Bargain Alerts forum about these, because it also gets around the Credit Card fee for Ryanair flights. :)

    Forgot to reply to this particular thread. Anyway, the money was actually refunded to my 3V card a few days later. I didn't even email iTunes or 3V; the fee was simply refunded onto the 3V card.
