I was interested in upgrading to mavericks for free but,it's only available in the apps store ,and I need to have a credit card,Is this correct?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
no, you do not need a credit card. Select the payment method of "none".
There is no NONE option on the Screen I see after agreeing to terms . The continue takes me to the Credit Card payment Screen with no NONE option .
Inncorrect information, apparently.

when you are at the payment screen, you should see a small box that says none, to the right of the credit card logos. I know, I saw this when I upgraded to 10.9

I definitely am not seeing the "none" option.
OSX 10.6.8, and I'm not seeing the 'None' option either.
Well, here it is for everyone to see:
store>view my account>edit payment type
I have worked it out now!!
YOU HAVE TO CREATE A TOTALLY NEW ACCOUNT AND THEN YOU WILL SEE THE 'NONE' IN PAYMENT TYPE OFFERED WHEN YOU CHOOSE A PAYMENT TYPE!!

I didnt have to create a new account. I have had the same one for years.

The 'NONE' option has now been removed.
Apple! Stocp this crap!
This is now March 2014. I'm trying to get Mavericks "free" but after I click on the free button, Apple still demands a credit card. I called a clerk. He said there is no way to bypass this requirement, unless I use an ITunes gift card ... which costs money, thereby rendering Mavericks un-free. I would like to register my deep displeasure at this subterfuge and this coercion. I hear that there is a way to enter a credit card, and then to delete it. If this approach works, it's still unsatisfactory, since my credit card would exist for a time and surely could be stored. If enough people complain, will Apple change this policy?
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
I have an I mac with snow leopard 10.6.8 but to upgrade to mavericks I have to have a credit card,is this right?
