    Hi guys,
    I've got 3 coupons worth Australian$100 each,
    I also have a 2 years adwords account under my name using my credit card.

    Question1) Can I use one of the vouchers on a older than 6 months account?

    Question2) If I can't I need to open new accounts? Each of this account i need to use a credit card, can the credit cards be the same on 3 different accounts?

    Question3) There's any other way of using the coupons?

    I appreciate any help or light here.
    Thanks very much to all DP'ers.

    I'll be more than happy to share one of the coupons to whoever comes up with a solution.

    Cheers
    Lucio

    Each coupon is different, although I think most are for new accounts. I only have one account...not sure about the credit card situation. Give it a shot and let us know.

    Each Coupon is unique and only valid for a brand new account

    You will have to read the TOS, but why wouldn't the be for new accounts- they wouldn't make as much money off you if they gave you free coupons, would they..

    Alright,
    got a answer from Google.
    valid for 14 days for new accounts.

    So then the smart guy here opened a new account with the same credit card, got blocked both accounts :mad:

    I then emailed then again explaining I didn't know, etc, etc. They activated my original account back (after 2 days) and canceled my new account.

    That's the outcome - same credit card (on my case) will get your accounts blocked.

    Cheers
