App Store issues

Ive been using Apple for years now, never once has it asked for a payment method, now it is, and I dont have a payment method to add, so now I cant download apps, How do I make it not ask me for a payment method?

Well, you can't. 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.
