Want to use Adwords but..

    I don't have a credit card (nor do I want one!) but without one I cannot use Google Adwords. You would think a business as big as Google would have other payment facilities.. or do they?

    I know I could get a card just for this, but I'll only end up getting myself in debt going on wild spending spree's :eek:

    Cheers,

    Darren

    Yep... prepaid credit cards. Basically they are disposable.

    Set up an account with Paypal, and I believe that after 60 days of membership (free) you can register for an online Mastercard (free also) which deducts from your Paypal balance which is funded by a back account.

    It's a long wait. Perhaps you could get the credit card, plug your info into Adwords and then cut up the actual plastic?

    You should look up your banks and ask... I am from Poland and I have virtual visa card. I don't think that UK is more years behind Poland - I think opposite.

    PayPal will issue a debit card with a premier or business account. I'm guessing that would work although I'm not sure about accounts that aren't in the States.

    Prepaid Cards from Rite Aid work great

    Unfortunately, the way AdWords works--the spending spree you'll end up going on will undoubtedly be with Google.
