Is it possible to create an Amazon account without having a credit card?
In principle it is not possible to create an Amazon account without having a credit cardHowever, as we have mentioned previously, in the creation process they do not ask us for any card information, since we must include it later or in our first purchase.
But if what we want is to download free applications, books or music (mostly multimedia content) from the kindle store, it will not be necessary to include any information from our credit or debit card. For this we turn again to “Accounts and Lists” in the dropdown we select “Manage content and devices.”
We are looking for the option “Settings”, Once this tab is open we go directly to “Kindle Payment Settings“and select”Edit payment method” and introduce the required fields one by one. We will also have to change the option of “Country Settings” and select our country of residence.
Now you can enter the Amazon Kindle Store and download all the free content that she finds without the need to enter any of our credit card information.
*Note: If at any point in the process it gives us an error, we will simply have to select the “” button in the popup that appears.To update“.
