I understand you would like information on how to use an Apple ID without a credit card. The following article may help:
If you already have an Apple ID
If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment method after you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Bobby_D

I even looked at: Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
That was no help at all, I tried everything, I have no unpaid balances, I did not change a country, and no family sharing.
Why do we need a credit card to download free things? I just need to upgrade to Mavericks, why is Apple stuff suddenly so difficult and painstaking to use now?!

I am looking at the problem your having and the reason by you needing a card to download is due to the fact to verify that you are human etc.
