If your PIN never comes in the mail after 3 attempts. EMAIL GOOGLE. This is one thing they will respond about...they got back to me in two days. For some reason, everything was right and confirmed but that PIN would not show up in the mailbox! Anyway I emailed Google after the 3rd try and the fact that my site was showing Public Service Advertisements...they then extended the date to enter the PIN by 4 months and took off the Public Service Ads...which I was very thankful for They basically said give it a few more days and then reply to this email if you still get nothing in the mail...well, nothing came after a week. So I replied to them and they responded saying you can scan a digital image of a government issued ID (passport, etc), bank statement, etc but it must confirm your name and address as registered with Google. So sure enough I did that, sent it to Google and they did remove my PIN activation alert and also released my payments! So for all of you out there waiting for this stupid PIN, be patient, and talk to Google about it. And if need be just do the alternate method which is a lot less hassle and worrying. Hope this helped (rep)
Great tip for the noobs... by the way....I have moved a few months back...the address on my ID card isn't the same I gave google...in case I dont get the pin...what do u suggest..may be a phone confirmation? e.g The address on my id card = abc the one i gave google = def Where im living right now = ghi its all messed up..."DEF" is my uncle's place tho.....
Good tip for the noobs and you don't even know which address to send it to! JK! hahaha Anyway if was released to your uncle's place I would just have him call you with the PIN and then you enter it...problem with having an incorrect address is where will your payment checks go? I would suggest using electronic fund transfer... Good luck
We have Western Union Transfer here..so no need to worry about that...it only takes a few minutes to transfer ..... as for the noobs...I made my adsense A/c 3 years back...just never worked on it....The Pin has been issued otherwise id have changed the address
You made your account 3 years ago and are still waiting for your PIN number on the first attempt? ODD. After 4 months your site will show PSAs until you confirm it and at 6 months they will remove your account. So how you did that I am not sure! Am I right?
lol! at that time they use to send your Pin once u reach $50 I only had $15 in my account...I started working on it last month...and they just sent the pin on Jan 23!...not odd now init
Its too early for you to get worried for your PIN . Start getting worried if u do not receive it by 23rd Feb
