You don't have to pay anything for it. The credit card will not be charged at all when you download Yosemite. The credit card is required to establish the account at the App Store, not to actually purchase Yosemite. You seem incapable of understanding the difference.

So its clear to me they dont want ppl using their products when it been made too hard to do a simplest thing ... to me max safari is 5,3 and whats the version now 6,? or what i had huge problem with FB with Safari so wanted to upgrade but ... OK .. they dont want me to do so then why even bother ... separate upgrade page would be better than store you cant even access ... nama a shop that wants you credit card before you even step inside ?
