App Store won't let me purchase free apps without putting in a credit card?

I don't want to put my credit card on, and I just want free apps. But it won't allow me to do so? IPhone 5 App Store. Any help?

It could be that the App Store is malfunctioning

You can't do it free is only free if you had credit card

Many online accounts, like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, require you to set up an account with a credit card, even if you only "buy" freebies. You iPhone app store may be the same way.
