Change apple ID for use without credit card.

Hello guys,

Basically the problem is, I created a Apple ID account through the website and used it to sign in on my Macbook Air.

But now I want to download free stuff from the App Store. When I try to log in it says:

I click 'Review' and then accept the agreement and end up with this *****:

How can I change my current Apple ID to use no credit card? I know of the solution going to iTunes and create a Apple ID down there but then I have to create a new one and I dont't want that!

Thanks for your help.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

There is no other way. You can follow Apple's instructions and create a new Apple ID or you can use a bank card.

That's really annoying. So basically I have to use a new e-mail address to make a second Apple ID to download stuff on the App Store? I thought they where all linked (as I noticed untill now). Really bizar way of dealing with accounts...
