Mac App Store
Q: Create Apple ID without credit card info?
An article (from March 2016) describes methods for bypassing the requirement for credit card information which mostly consists in selecting "None" from the choices of credit cards. See
But presently (July 2016) none of the apps or stores (iBook, iTunes, App Store, etc.) show "None" as an option when logging in with an existing ID or when creating a new ID. I don't have or use a credit card. So Apple has thrown me under their bus.
Using current Apple devices (MacBook Pro with OS 10.10.5 (Yosemite), iPhone SE with iOS 9.3.2) but these shouldn't matter. The cause of the problem as far as I can determine is Apple itself.
Any solutions?
