How can I use an exsiting Apple ID without a credit card?

Hi,

I'm trying to use my already made Apple ID with iTunes, but I don't want to use a credit card. I know that you can make a free account in the Apps Store, but every time I type in my email address and password then click Sign in, a message displays saying; "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information."

I click review and follow the prompts but, the "free" option for the credit card info isn't there.

Why can't I get a free account with iTunes with my already existing Apple ID? I really don't want to make a whole new email address just for iTunes.


Thanks

I'm not trying to create a new account for free,

Yes, you are.

I'm trying to use my existing account with iTunes for free.

You need to create free _iTunes account_ using your existing AppleID. You cannot sign in until you create an _iTunes account_ with your existing AppleID.
Follow the link Jim posted and select *Create new account*. This creates a new _iTunes account_ using your existing AppleID.
