I can get a US credit card from the US branch of my bank, problem now is the US mailing address. I have some US friends, but I do not want them to get any bank mail from me. And the bank doesn't hold mail. The only reliable service I have found costs 35$ a month, far more than it is worth for holding my mail and forwarding it once every 3 months or so. At least we are getting closer.

Giftcards for iTunes won't work in all instances. For example, you can't get some iphone/ipod touch applications, even if they are free without the credit card. And have you tried it, can a non US resident use gift cards at the US iTunes store?
