So I used a gift card for my apple id payment method since it doesnt have anymore money in it the app store has been asking me to view my payment method when I try to download free apps. 1st it tell my that Verifcation is required then when I enter my pass it says I have to view my payment method and even when i press back it wont let me download anything. Any fix?

Unless your account details has a NONE option in the payment methods, you have to have an active, verifiable payment method to use your account. Even for free apps.
