App Store asking for payment verification info on free apps?

I tried downloading some free games on my iPhone 5 and it keeps asking for my payment verification. This has never happened before.

Try and just go with it, and if it charges, contact customer support. It may just be a bug.

It's verifying that you're the real owner of the account. It's annoying and pointless, but it only takes a few seconds to put your information in.

I would NEVER give Cr Cd info for a free app!
