It is surprisingly difficult to remove credit card information from an Apple ID. There seems to be no way to do it online.
You must use iTunes (machine of the installation seems to be irrelevant) or an iOS device and in some cases there is no guarantee it will work without providing new payment information.
- nwh 14y agoIt is possible to do it, in the same manner that it is possible to create an account without a credit card at all. This is slightly dated, so it might not be the case now. Originally every AppleID had to have a credit card assigned, the form wouldn't let you progress without one. The trick was to fill in the form with fake data, go to the next screen where it would error out, and then when you clicked back a "no credit card" option would appear at the bottom. Removing a credit card is possible. Crank open the iTunes app and the option is there. You just don't seem to be able to do it on their website, as far as I could see.

This game of guess-how-the-UI-works coupled with their knowledge base obfuscation of support has woken me up from complacency.
