Solved after HOURS. Just go back to your regular Apple ID and add a credit card (billing info). That was it. Not sure why they don't just say that, but here's how I found it.
I was on with an Apple Support tech and he was confused and he asked what URL I was on. I look, and the full url had something like "error-missing-credit-card-information" or something like that, and I'm like "wha???".
I tried it - yep. Worked. I told the Apple Support guy that they really need too explain their errors a little better :)
PS: If you click "Learn More", you get to another login screen, which looks like a circa 1997 Geocities site, but that login will just do an endless loop until you add the credit card.
Apple wanty monnnneyyyy!
