When I tried to download Telegram (to my MacBook Air 2, with OS 14.1.1) from the App Store, I got this message: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the App Store. Please review your account information." When I hit "Review" I am sent back to the page that asks me to sign in, and when I do that I am sent back to "This Apple ID has not yet...." The App Store is not rejecting my Apple ID or password. What else am I supposed to do?
MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.15

You can download free apps, but you may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
You can have a credit card / debit card on file and an Apple Account balance.
If you have set your Apple Account balance as your default payment method, your default payment method will be used first by Apple when you need to make a payment.
Free apps has also In-app pruchase.

If you link your CC to your Apple ID, it will not be published. I also linked my CC to my Apple ID.
Don't give other people access to your iPhone or other Apple device,
Never post your Apple ID credentials (such as Apple ID, billing address, phone number, etc.) on a public forum like this forum (ASC)
Get support from Apple directly -> Get Support or call Apple in your region see -> Contact Apple for support and service or check -> here for more support and assistance.
Raicya. Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately, none of your recommendations worked. I can't even "buy" the two free apps you recommended. All of the information for me on appleid seems correct.
I prefer to use credit cards to pay for online purchases, but am VERY reluctant to store my credit card information on public websites. Do I have to store my credit card information on appleid before I can "buy" free apps?
Chris
Thanks again Raicya; but this still doesn't answer my original question, which is
"When I tried to download Telegram (to my MacBook Air 2, with OS 14.1.1) from the App Store, I got this message: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the App Store.
