Does Apple request credit card number?

I need a replacement set of earphones. The Apple rep requested a credit card number just to put a hold for the cost of the free replacements just until they received my faulty set. Is this normal procedure? Thx.

Yes, it is normal. If you do not return the defective earphones within the alloted
time frame, you will be charged the cost of the new earphones.

HT5622 Why does my credit car decline when I'm trying to review my credit card details? I'm trying to creat and finish my apple login but it keeps saying declined. Does Apple charge credit cards just for registering a credit card??

Just to add to AnaMusic's list:
Does Apple charge credit cards just for registering a credit card??
Yes, Apple will validate the credit card, when you are setting up the account information for an Apple ID. The credit card must be valid in the country of the store, that you are trying to buy from. And the card you are using must neither be blocked by the issuer of the card nor by the Apple for store services.
The error message you are citing is misleading: The error message could either mean
that you are using the wrong type of card (Are you using a debit card or a credit card?)
that the AppeID or the credit card you are using has been blocked for security reasons,
or that you are encountering a store error, because you are trying to use the iTunes Store or AppStore from a country, where it is not yet supported.

Does apple allows credit card payment in ios app for just user subscription inside the app?

Hello,
Suppose I want to develop an iPhone app which performs user subscription for the app to assist the user and provide the user with its facilities and this user subscription can be done only when user pays some amount to the app. Now what I want is that this subscription amount should be payable by providing the credit card payment in the app. So my question is that is this credit card payment allowed by Apple or such an app will be rejected by Apple?
Thanks

Sorry but can you explain me does your reply means that I should use In App Purchase provided by Apple or I can use Paypal or other credit card payment options?

My Ipod Touch will not let me sign into my apple account without adding a credit card number

I don't have a credit card, or a gift card; an when I go to download an app I log into my account; but it wont 'Fully' log me in until I press 'review', then it does the whole "Your credit card number is a required field". Thus resulting in me not being able to download my desired app, even though my account is verified on the sight ect. But even still, when I go to save my "billing" information on the sight, my "Credit card number" is STILL a required field..! I don't have a credit card..! So how can I download apps without a credit card..?

Try logging into your account in iTunes on a computer and setting the payment method to None.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
Last, contact iTunes.
You can always
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

OS X Mavericks is offered as a free download, why is apple asking for a credit card number?

Can someone tell me why apple is asking for a credit card number to download the Free OS X Mavericks?

Yes. This is what it says.
Resolution
You might not be able to see or select the None payment option for one of these reasons. If you don’t want to use a credit card, you can use another form of payment, such as a gift card.
If you have an unpaid balance or payment due
You can't select None as your payment type until you pay your balance. To see which order you need to pay for,view your purchase history on a Mac or PC. When you sign in to the store, you might see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
If you’re using the iTunes Store or App Store for the first time
If you’re using the store for the first time with an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method. After you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
If you’re creating a new Apple ID, you might be able to create an account without entering your credit card details.
If you changed your country or region
When you change the country or region of an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method and update your billing options. If you want to remove your payment method after you change the country or region, you canchange your payment information to None.
She hasn't changed countries nor regions, she's not using the either store for the first time, nor does she owe anything. She doesn't have a gift card. She's just a person without a credit card. She did have one, and now she doesn't.

My husband was helping our daughter set up an apple id. She entered her e-mail address incorrectly, but didn't realize it until AFTER they had entered a credit card number. How can we cancel the incorrect e-mail address account?

iMac model?
Mac OS version?
Both can be viewed fby doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar. The OS version will be pretty obvious; posting what the window says about your processor will help us figure out what model.
I ask becasue about 60 percent of the posts here are about newer models than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum serves.
Not your fault if you found the wrong forum--Apple's labeling is as clear as mud!

Apple support requires my credit card number, cryptogramme, ...

Hi,
I'm very surprised by the apple support called from Belgium. To allow the replacement of a broken device, they asked me by phone my credit card number, the expriation date and the cryptogramme (for a bank waranty, they said).
After that, the man who collected those information by phone can do and buy what he wants after work !!!
He can even give those information to his friends in a few month or in a few years. It's just hacking my financial capabilities.
Why does Apple permit such procedure ? It's really not secure.
Thanks for your feedback,
Alan

The problem with that is if the waiter has a good memory all they need to do is see the number, expiration date, and security code. Or just wait and get it from the companies server.
There is no way to avoid people, whether it be Apple, the bank, the merchant, etc. from getting this information. The only thing using SSL does in this case is encrypt the data while it is being sent to Apple. Once Apple receives it the information is decrypted and available to a number of Apple employees. As I said in my post are Apple employees who see the information after it comes in through the internet inherenty more trustful than people who take the information over the phone? Unless someone has tapped your land line there is little more risk that it will be intercepted and if that is a concern use a cell phone.
I've had a credit card replaced twice due to fraud risk. Both times it was after making an in-person purchase at a retail merchant. It was not the cashier it was someone at the central accounting office who made a disk of tens of thousands of credit card information and sold it.

You cannot use that ID without a credit card. You did not create your account correctly. There is very specific way in which you must create your account if you do not want to use a credit card. If you don't have a credit card, you will have to start all over again.
1. You will have to sign out of that ID before you can create a new one. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID>Sign out.
2. You cannot use the email address that you used for the first ID that you created. You will need to use another email address now
3. You have to download a free app in order to start the new Apple ID process.
Read this before proceeding.

Anybody?????

I am unable to change my credit card number, because my profile shows United States therefore it does not accept the phone area code, and zip number, because I live in Switzerland. Please inform me how to do it. Many thanks.

I am unable to change my credit card number because my apple profile shows me as a resident of the United States, although I live in Switzerland. Consequently I cannot edit my area code, zip number, State info, etc. Please advise me how to do it. Many thanks.

Hello Luis,
To update your billing information, you would need to change your iTunes Store country to be able to enter the information for Switzerland. I found an article with the steps to update this:
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

I am based in Russia, and I use a Russian cred card number. Hence my apple store page is in Russian language (which i dont speak). Can I change this into English language and if yes, how?

The only way I know is that you need a physical address and credit card of an English speaking country.
