For Adobe ePub, whenever you download a book, it "pings" the Adobe servers and confirms you have the right to the book. B&N ebooks don't work that way. The purchaser's information is used to unlock the book.
So there has to be a credit card number tied to the account. What I can't tell you is, if you entered an old credit card number (one that no longer exists, for example), whether it would accept it, or if you have to use a working card number.

B&N verifies the credit card, so it needs to be an active credit card.
You can use a cheap pre-paid card (if you can register a billing address for the card).
