Is the Free extension actually free? Why does it ask for card details to "purchase"?

If you are in the Free Edition product and have not added the PLUS benefits, you should not have to submit a credit card number to file an extension. 

Here is a FAQ on how to file an extension for reference.

Hi - yes, filing an extension is free, but you still need to file your return at some point, and so you are likely seeing a payment for TurboTax for that reason. Hope this helps.
