`iTunes Store Allowance
`With iTunes Allowance, you can send a monthly iTunes Store credit to anyone with an iTunes Store account. It's a
`great way for parents to manage their children's spending on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store.
`
`Good to know
`
`Every month, the allowance amount you've set will automatically be added to your recipient's iTunes Store
`account.
`The amount can be anything from 10 to 50 USD.
`You'll be charged the full allowance amount on the first of each month (it'll be the same amount every
`month).
`You can reassure your lucky friend or family member that they don't need to spend all of the allowance
`each month; any remaining amount carries over to the next month.
`What you'll need
`
`The latest version of iTunes for your Mac or PC.
`An iTunes Store Apple ID with a method of payment on file.
`An iTunes Store Apple ID for the recipient (it's usually their email address).
`How to set it up
`1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and go to the iTunes Store.
`2. Click Send iTunes Gifts:

`How to use an allowance
`When your friend or family member signs in to the iTunes Store with his or her Apple ID, the iTunes Store will
`show the allowance balance. If you want to control spending on this account, you'll want to remove any credit
`card information from this account so that anything they buy is limited to the allowance balance.
`
`Manage allowances
`Select View Account from the Store pull-down menu. You can view, change the monthly amount, suspend, and
`cancel any established allowances on your Account Information page.
