How do I switch my payment method to none? Since all the payment methods i have adding were being declined.

I can’t upload and I can’t download any apps. The response is my payment method was declined. And i have tried to add other way of payments, but still declined. So, i was advised to choose none as my payment method. And i don’t know how to get to do this. I need help to do it. Thanks.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

You also can’t have any subscriptions or apps with in-app purchases. Next, let’s see why you can’t register another card:


A “payment declined” or “card declined" message means that the issuer of the credit or debit card you have on file in your iTunes account rejected a charge or account confirmation. It is not an Apple problem; Apple is just passing through the message from your issuer. There are a number of reasons the charge or verification might be declined:

  • Apple is not allowed to accept credit or debit cards in your country
  • The card is not recognized in your country
  • Insufficient balance or account in arrears
  • Account suspended for suspected fraud (not necessarily by you)
  • Error in card number
  • Wrong expiration date
  • Wrong security (CVV) code
  • Address in your iTunes account does not match exactly the billing address for the card
  • The card was not issued in the country of the iTunes store
  • You are connected through a VPN provider that does not terminate in the country of the iTunes store you are connected to.


Here is additional information from Apple→If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support
