How do you use an existing AppleID on iOS App Store without providing a credit card number?

Solution 1:

You can't use an existing Apple ID and then enroll it into the store.

The "none" option only exists for new accounts as a one-time (or limited count) event for that device thanks to scammers and people that manipulate app store ratings with factory reviews and paid downloads.

You can usually make a brand new Apple ID following these steps:

It's generally a bigger pain to have two Apple ID, so I would encourage you to not set up a new ID just to avoid the temporary delay of getting a legitimate address and card for temporary use.

Once you have your account verified, you can use store credit for just about everything on the store.

Solution 2:

You need to do the following when at the Credit Card page

• Click on Paypal
• Click on 'To redeem a code, click here'

From this new workflow, you will be able to get to the same page with the 'None' option
