Can’t Verify Payment Method

There’s an app I’m trying to download and every time I press the get button a little thing pops up that says press continue to verify payment method, so I press continue and it takes me to a page page to add a new payment method but I don’t want to so I go to my card and it says for less interruptions on payments please verify your card and it doesn’t show me how so I just try re-typing in my security code but every time I press done, it recharges the last purchase that I made to my card.

Can you remove and re-add the card? Do you have another method you can add? Apple can require a valid payment method (which cannot be a gift card) for verification purposes. It may be charged a small amount to verify it but this will be automatically refunded.

I can’t verify my card or download any apps, so please help me before I throw my phone away and switch to android. 🤭 thank you

Oh, absolutely buy the best phone for your needs! Maybe check out the Pixel series from Google? I trust you'll find the Play Store sufficiently liberating, I hear it has a nice lack of safeguards and doesn't require a payment method for free downloads.
