Apples answer to my match problems?

[gimmeiphone]

to purchase itunes match on both my accounts :-/ when icloud came about i made a new id so i could use all the icloud features. Now whenever i update an app on my iphone that was purchased on my old gmail ID, i cant use itunes match anymore, get the 90 day restriction. Emailed apple and their response was sorry you will have to buy itunes match subscriptions for both accounts, is that a joke?

...is that a joke?

More like a Prank.

Tell Apple that it is unacceptable and you want to merge the purchase histories of the 2 Apple IDs. If enough people do this maybe they'll get the idea.

Why did you make a new id? You caused your own problems here. I can see it maybe back years ago when .Mac or MobileMe first came about, but now you've got to deal with your own mistakes. Apple's not responsible for that.

Yes, you screwed up when making new me.com account. Apple wasn't crystal clear on this, and the whole fiasco was not the most user friendly. They have control of the database to fix this if they desired. But they don't care to fix the issues for their customers.

Apple won't fix what you paid for?
Talk to VISA, they'll at least right your bank account, ;-)

That's your own mistake. It was crystal clear if you'd just take your nose out of your own butt. Seriously? This is what people get away with complaining about? "I thought I needed to do this, but I wasn't smart enough to actually read the instructions, so now I'm mad at the company for making the product."

Seriously, providing good customer service would be to merge the two accounts. Maybe not for everyone. But if a paying customer calls/mails customer service with a problem like this they should be more helpful than "buy it again".

Lousy customer service, seriously.

While it'd be nice of Apple to provide a way, currently they don't have that way, and the customer service representative doesn't have the technical know-how nor the tools to provide it even to an irate customer. Their answer was a practical, if inefficient, solution to the problem for now. While it didn't satisfy the OP, it's not really Apple's problem either.

Yeah, that's true
But I think a happy customer should be Apples priority. Oh well, maybe it is
