Do I really have 14 days to use my promotional credit?

    Hi,

    I got a $150 coupon recently and the terms states that "promotional credit must be used within 14 days of creating your Google AdWords account".

    Does this mean that I have to apply the coupon to my account within 14 days, or that I have to actually use up the $150 credit within 14 days?

    I assume it's the former, but I'd really appreciate if someone can confirm this for me as I don't want to lose the credit just because I haven't spent it all in 14 days.

    Cheers,
    Zahid

    To be in safer place, use it if you are not sure...

    Next workaround could be READ the terms carefully.
    If it says it will expire in 14 days if you dont apply than you are good.

    That's a tricky one w/o reading the whole notice. I'm guessing you have to apply it to your account within 14 days of signing up.

    I guess it means you gotta create ur adwords account within fifteen days to be eligible to use that offer.

    no it means you have to apply voucher code in 14 days for free credit and then
    use as you wish.

    No, all of you are wrong. This voucher can only be applied on an account that is younger than 14 days.

    Yes, worked like this for me. Must be applied within 14 days after you created an account. The credit is added to your account and you can spend it in longer time as needed.

    It worked that way for me as well. You can take forever to spend it, but it has to be applied to either a new account or one that is less than 14 days old.

    Thanks for the response guys!

    I just checked and the $150 (minus $5 fee) is still showing in my account and it's been over 14 days! ;-)
