Endless Payment Method Requirement Cycle

I am trying to redownload a free app, but the App Store keeps asking me to view my payment methods, even though I told them several times that I have no payment method. It’s an endless cycle of reviewing, confirming, and reviewing again, and I can’t download the app. It’s irritating me.

Unless you see a NONE payment method choice in the payment methods of your account details, you must have a valid payment method listed in your account. Even for free apps.


Buy and redeem an iTunes/App Store gift card as your payment method.
