How to create iTunes account without credit card

Posted by R MAK 1 September, 2008

There is a myth among apple users that iTune account creation requires you to provide credit card details. Well this is not true. A friend of mine just sent me following method of creating an iTunes account without the need of furnishing my credit card details. The method is very simple and I have just got an account for myself.

  1. Open iTunes
  2. Click on iTunes Store from the Left Side Pane.
  3. At the very bottom of the page, select My Store as “United States”.
  4. When the page opens at the Right hand side Under Quick Links, select “Redeem“.
  5. Now Go to this site : http://www.tunecore.com/freealbum You will get a Code from there.
  6. Paste that Code in the Redeem Screen of iTunes.
  7. You’ll be asked to Enter Your Apple/AOL IDs. Ignore that !
  8. Click on Create New Account at the bottom left of that Window.
  9. Enter your Details. Now at the Payment Screen you’ll see that Payment is Optional and None option is added.
  10. Simply Select that None option and Click Continue !
  11. Voila ! You’ve just created yourself a new iTunes Account totally FREE without any Credit Card !

PS: This method no longer works…. Try the new method posted here

oh my god, you idiots. It’s completely free to create an account. The reason they ask for your details is so that its simpler when you purchase things from the st0re. Now whenever you try and buy it will ask you to retry the entire process just to pay for it. nice.

Johnny and Bazil: You are gits. The reason for this tutorial is that apple wants your credit card info even if you’re not looking to buy anything from them. They want it just to let you download album covers to put on your iPod/Phone.

Didnt work… when ever i tried to buy something it would ask for my credit card and even though i selected none, it wont let me buy without a card.

This is cool, I suppose, except for the fact that the 34 downloads you get happen to be a TuneCore playlist. Which seems to be random stuff…

@Omer & Zalito
This code might have expired. I hope they will soon extend the period as they already did 3 times before.

On the other hand do 2 things
1: Subscribe to this blog at

2: Search Google for “code to redeem at iTunes” and you will be surprised at what you get there..
