How do I get rid of credit cards without hurting my credit?
I have no credit card debt but a few credit cards that are open I never intend on using. Is there any way I can close these accounts without hurting my credit? I do not like the idea of having open credit card accounts, for fear of theft of these numbers.Your score will be affected, depending on how high your credit score is and how many other credit reference are on your report besides credit cards. If your credit score is very high and you have an extensive credit history with lots of accounts, then it should be okay to close 2 or 3 accounts. If you are only concerned about the account numbers being stolen, you can call the credit card co. and ask your cards to be flagged so that they can not be used without showing ID. That will make it more difficult for them to be used fraudulently.
I don’t have one and plan to pay by using the gift voucher. It doesn’t give the option of not typing credit/debit card info or BT information in, and won’t let me continue to the next steps without typing it in. I’m a teen and don’t own a Credit card. I can’t find the “Redeem voucher” button or anything like that. Can someone give me the steps using easy words? Thanks i WILL pick a best answer.

The way I created my account without using a credit card was to buy an iTunes prepaid gift card at a Target or a Shoppers (depending on where you live). I entered that into the "Redeem" page, which you can get to from the right hand column under "Quick Links" (I am not sure if it is still there in the newest version of iTunes, but a little searching should be enough to find it)
After I entered the number, I was told to create an account.
Keep in mind, I made my account a while ago, so this may or may not work.
gosh im not even sure
