HT1918 How do I remove my credit card details from my Apple Account?

How do I remove my credit card details from my Apple Account?  I do not like the fact that Apple does not provide a clear and simple option to 'Delete a payment card', I definitely do not think this is legal.
I ask this question because I recently received a spam-like message from Apple asking me to log in and update my account.  I went in and did that, but I would like to remove credit card details from the account and it is horribly stubborn about holding onto my credit card details.

Hi there
Thankyou for the latter responses from ssschmidt and limnos - as it happens I figured this out by myself.  Yes, it appears that Apple will not let you delete an account UNTIL YOU HAVE VALIDATED THE CARD DETAILS.  That it, until you have given them all of your credit card details - even down to the 3 digit validation number.  Only once you have provided this information does the 'Payment type - NONE' appear.
I figure however, that you can just put any 3 digits in, ie, it doesn't need to be your actual 3 pin code, for the system to let you pass to the NONE option.
As I said before, I still think this ***** the big one.  Apple should not be insisting on getting customers' bank details in this way - especially since there are these PHISHING emails floating around which look extremely like official Apple communications.  It was the receipt of one such email that alerted me to this issue in the first place - thanks Limnos, I didn't respond :-)
This is the first time I've used this 'user to user' set up for a query like this, and I totally think it's ridiculous. This information should be readily available from Apple - no wonder their profit levels are so astromical!
Happy Mondays y'all!

    How do I remove my credit card details from my apple account?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iPad then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

    If you don't get the 'none' option on your account then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

    How do i remove my credit card information from my apple account

    Hi there
    I am still waiting for an answer.  I see numerous reply that do not answer the question, saying something like go into 'Payment Type' and select 'none'. 
    Well, that does not appear to exist on my account.
    Also, why are there only options to say an answer 'Solved my question'!? 
    What is the point in this self-congratulatory, self-perpetuating cobblers!?
    It's nothing short of sinister that there is not a clear and simple option on how to delete my credit card details from my account.
    I would appreciate a proper response from Apple by return.

  • HT1918 how can i remove my credit card details from the iphone

    I fed my friends credit card details on my iPhone to purchase some apps, but whenever i am buying anything now on, the system does not prompt and the amount gets deducted from my friends account. Need to know how to remove the credit card details from the account.

    From that HT3702 page :
    If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
    You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
    The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two

  • How do I remove my credit card details from iTunes? In order to use my iTunes gift cards!

    How do I remove my credit card details from my iTunes, I order to use my iTunes gift card? Every time I try to buy something on iTunes it asks for my credit card details instead of using the voucher.

    Click "iTunes Store" in the left sidebar and under Quick Links (on the right) click Redeem. Your account will automatically use up the gift card money as you purchase your next consecutive items.
    In other words, it won't charge your credit card until the money runs out. When the money runs out it will go back to charging the credit card.

  • HT1918 how can I remove my credit card info from itunes?

    how can I remove my credit card info from itunes?!

    Follow the instructions in the support article from which you came and select "none" as the payment method. If you don't see a "none" option, you may have an outstanding balance that you owe. If you've been using a true credit card that's unlikely, but if you've been using a prepaid "credit" card or a debit card where there is a balance, it's a possibility.
    Regards.

    I visited the page (link above) but none of those steps help, I tried contacting the customer care and it also did not help. So is there other options? I want to remove my credit card from my account as well with cancelling my annual subscription.

    Hi felix28837472,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble updating your payment details. You can only remove credit card information if you used that card to purchase a perpetual product (one that you purchase outright). If the card was used to purchase a subscription, it's necessary to Contact Customer Care to have that information removed. It's also necessary to contact Customer Care if you want to cancel an Acrobat subscription. What happened when you contacted Customer Care?
    Best,
    Sara
