Can you make an itunes account without a credit card?

Question

so you can just use the gift cards

Answer 1

  When you download itunes from the internet, the service asks you to create an account, or you can create your own account from the itunes store menu by selecting the "sign in" icon and then "create a new account."  Creating a new user account is completely free of charge and you can immediately redeem a card that you have purchased.
