Member Area 100% Discount Still Requires Credit Card Payment Entry

I am trying to give free access to my paid membership area to a few family/friends.  I have the discount code set up and it is showing as $0.00 total when signing up, but it's still requiring a credit card to finish the process.  I also have the discount code set to never expire, so theoretically, a credit card shouldn't be necessary to sign up.  Any ideas on how to make this work without adding a payment method, since there is no total to be paid?  Thanks!

When you set up the discount code, did you apply the discount to the first payment or all payments?

UPDATE: @paul2009, yes, I did have it set to "all payments" and it was still requiring a credit card number to proceed.  Thanks!

I believe I marked it for "all payments," but I will double check and let you know.

UPDATE...reply from Squarespace support:

At the moment, card details are required for all recurring subscriptions or memberships, even though technically the total will be zero, even for renewals.
