Hi, you didn’t answer my question.

My problem is :

I live in Canada. I want to pay my subscription to Apple with a DEBIT Card. On the iTunes page where one can add payment method it is said that in Canada one can pay with a credit or debit card. Then when you click once more to add one of them, only credit cards are available, no any option to add a debit card ?!?!?

Please read well my problem here and, if you know the answer, please let me know.


Thank you !

Orline
