You've always been able to use Google Play for free apps without a credit card...

I got an Android device about 6 months ago and couldn't download any apps until I'd setup a credit card.

Not true. What probably happened was that your Google Play account was tied to your mobile (i.e. Verizon) account, so charges made in Google Play was pushed to Verizon, who then pushed those charges to you. T-Mobile used to do that, and I needed no credit card, until about two years ago, when one was needed because T-Mobile or Google no longer wanted to do business that way.
