In my case, the source code is <a href="javascript:;" onclick="openLocation('L_52')"> == $0. But when I do driver.findElement(By.linkText(" == $0")).click(), it returns an error saying no such element: Unable to locate element. Any help?

You can also use following xpath codes:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@onclick='gotoPaymentAddressForm()']")).click();

or

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Add a New Credit Card')]")).click();

CSS selector is faster than XPATH so you can try

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a.add-link")).click();
