How can I set up an Apple iTunes account without using a credit card or PayPal account? Can I use a VISA debit? It won't accept "None" as a payment method (even though for this account I'll only be downloading free apps). Other suggestions?
Thanks

So just your bog-standard VISA debit form the post office should be ok?
I have actually used one, so I can confirm it works
There is a way to do it with no payment, try google.
I have set up all my kids without payment methods.
Agreed, you don't need to set up a payment method. Recently created a new apple account for my workplace and didn't need to add a credit card or anything.
iirc if you grab a macOS/iOS device, sign out of any existing account, open the app store and attempt to download something that's free and create a new account, it should give you the option to proceed without a payment method. There may be other ways to do it but I remember this working for me.
hmmm, it's saying I need to contact iTunes support….frustrating. Even when I set up a new account….
Mine is set up with a Visa debit card, no problems. However, load and go cards might not work.
I think you can set up an iTune account without a credit card by:
- get an itune gift card from supermarket at 15-20% discount
- redeem the gift card to open a new account
Debit and pre-paid cards should work, if I recall you can remove it later.
