Why do I have to update my credit card info for a free app???

I put a block on my credit card due to fraudulent activity and now I want to install a FREE app, why do I need to update my credit card info for a FREE app? If you will only charge me if I actually purchase an app or content what is the purpose for asking me?

    As a security precaution, Apple verifies your billing credentials with every transaction whether paid or free apps or using the balance of a redeemed code.

  • Why am being asked for credit card info for a free app of the day?

    IIf an app of the day is free why am I being asked to update my credit card info?

    If you have a credit card on your account then it has to valid and its details correct.
    If this is the first time that you've tried to use the account in the store then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

  • Why do I need to supply credit card info for a free app?

    I've owned a 4s for 1 1/2 years and downloaded many free apps.  Now, in the last week, I'm asked for my credit card information to download a free app?  What gives?

    In the world of digital financial transactions, the term "free" is a bit of a misnomer.  Everything has a purchase price.  The price in this case is 0.00.  In order to pay the price for the item, you must enter valid payment information.

  • Still need credit card info to download FREE apps in App Store

    Why has this issue not yet been addressed by Apple? How is it even sensible that people must provide credit card information just to download FREE apps in the App Store? The App Store was launched months ago! This is very unusual of Apple and their policy of making things simple for customers.

    That is Apple's policy.
    You can setup an Apple ID without a credit card.

  • I cannot update my credit card info for my CC account

    I can log into CC center, and view all information, but when I click "Change Account Billing"" from the Manage Account, a script tries to run but can't. It goes into an endless loop I cannot stop, and have to use Task Manager to close out my browser. This happens with both Firefox and IE11, both latest versions. I am not blocking any scripts. Can someone explain why I can't get past this step, and how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Might try the steps described here:

  • I have updated my credit card information for adobe pro subscription service, but I am still unable to open any of my PDF files.  Isn't being able to open PDF files a free service??

    My credit card expired and I was asked to update my credit card info which I have done.  Now they say I have to wait 24-48 hours to be able to access the pro features again.  First, I should have just bought a brand new subscription which I am able to use immediately like when I first bought it, and secondly, isn't opening a PDF file a free service as long as you have the program installed??

    If you are making use of a "subscription" desktop application the subscription has to be "active" (paid up).
    Once your updated info is processed you'll be able to use the subscription application.
    As Bernd wrote - Adobe Reader is free (download, install, use).
    Be well...
