    Let's take another point of view. Suppose YOU are the one offering a service and to get people interested, you offer coupons. Would you allow people to use the service indefinitely for free using your coupons?

    Coupons are there as an incentive to get you to try the service with less risk. The hope is that it works well for you and you subscribe. They are allowed only once per account, normally a new account, less than 14 days old.

    Even with a coupon, you need a credit card before your ads will run. First, a CC is a way to verify who you are. All big businesses do this. Second, once the coupon runs out, they can start charging your card.

    Some of my customers reported that their ads running without activation. many of them on the other hand reported that it is not like that. So I guess this feature is country specific.
    Probably it is working in your country because your ads are running (which country? please )
    Now for problem 2. You probably bid far too low so that you are not getting any impressions. It is also possible that your ads may be pending reviews. If both of them are not true then the problem is really serious.
    P.S. it takes some time ranging from few hours to a couple of days for your ad to start getting impressions at full.

    Dear webmaster
    you have to use credit cards for your adds to run on the engine as voucher is just extra premium for your adds.

    First to run add you have to do initial payment than only you can use any coupen and youcan only use one coupen per add.
