Activate your Apple ID

I am not a regular Apple user. I am trying to sign up for Apple Podcasts Connect so I can distribute my podcast. Every time I attempt to log in, I receive the message, "Activate your Apple ID." However, I have an Apple ID, I have added a form of payment, and two-factor authentication is active and working. What am I missing here?

How to activate my apple ID I wanted to set up an Apple ID so I can start with Apple Podcasts Connect. However, Podcasts connect keeps saying I need to activate my Apple ID (which I created just beforehand). I already added a payment method and cannot find how to activate it anywhere. If I open itunes and try to sign in to the Itunes store, it asks me to review my account information. I clicked on 'review', but then nothing happens. I keep going round in loops and need my Apple ID to even ask a question to Apple. I do not own any Apple products, I just wanted to distribute my podcast to Apple podcasts and it appears to be really complicated to do that. Can anyone explain to me what I might have missed here? Thanks in advance!

Having Issues Creating an Apple Podcast Connect Account I recently called into Apple Support for activating the Apple ID for my podcast. Resolved the issue on the apple id itself since it was only web view instead of full view, but now I am facing an issue with a message "Activate Your Apple ID. You need to finish activating your Apple ID before you can use it on Apple Podcasts Connect." Not sure what exactly is going on and seems customer services is unable to assist me with this problem. Have been back and forth with them for the last 2 weeks.
