    I got $100 in adwords from google but I am scared to use it. Do I need a credit card to go with it and how can I make sure I don't overuse it?

    You do need a credit card, that's how they can verify you. It also is used to bill you once your coupon runs out.

    I wanted to ask the same question. It seems you get these free adword credits with a hosting setup

    To apply the voucher, you need to create a new account at Adwords. Because all vouchers usually work for new Adwords accounts.

    I also got a Free Coupon for $100 to use for a new Adwords Account. I received due to my use of AdSense. I knew nothing about how Adwords works and am getting a headache trying to figure it out :eek:

    I have been working on this website forever and everytime I work on something new for it I realize what a donkey webmaster I am. Congrats to you guys who can figure all this stuff out. Before I started all this I also thought I was "computer smart". Amazing how much there is to learn.

    I am sure I will mess this up so please keep good thoughts for me :)

    Not only that, if you use a coupon they still nick you for $5 that you must pay. Pain in the butt. Here is what I tried - Made max CPC $0.15 so my $100 doesn't fly away too fast. If I dont generate any clicks then I will have to amend to use my $100 coupon fully in the time frame allowed which appears to be 15 days after you open account. Make sure you read the fine print, especially if you don't want to go over the free $100.

    Actually, you do not need a credit card....they have a feature where you can use a regular bank checking, savings account for the $5 fee and any other charges you may rack up after the free $100.
