I don’t have a credit card.

I don’t have a credit card and i got an apple music code for 6 months but I can’t redeem it without a credit card, is there a way to go around that or do I really need a credit card...?

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

If you can't remove your last payment method or use no payment method with your Apple ID - https://support.apple.com/HT203905 - " if you're using an existing Apple ID with the App Store for the first time, you must provide payment information."


I always have a hard time saying this since I have never ever had to enter payment information for using Apple's media services (I only use free things) but Apple does seem to require you have a proper payment method such as a credit or debit card. You can try PayPal if that works for you country but I saw a recent post where even then it required a card of the account owner.
