Like many others, I changed my region to US to get cortana in 8.1, and was thinking what an hassle changing back to germany every time i wanted to buy an app. Well, apparently there's a way. You can add credit via a microsoft gift card, which shows up as one of the options when it tells you 'no payment option for this region'. You can buy US microsoft gift cards in many places online (i used cardcodes.com), and got the redeem code via email within an hour or so (i paid it with paypal).
Then on your phone on the store, you can just redeem this code. The final step is that you need to add an US address, well also no biggie since you can just go on google maps and find any random US address, and well there you go.
I added 50dollars to my US region and now i can spend away without changing my region again and still enjoy the new cortana services.
Cheers
