Hello all, I made a mistake few time ago. A very good friend wanted an adwords account but he hadn't a CC, so I allowed him to use mine. Now, I need an adwords account so I'm thinking I should close his account; open a new one and make a campaign for him in my new account. Will this be ok? All I want is not to get banned. I have other credit cards too, but since the billing address remains the same I'm guessing is no use to try. Please give me a solution for this matter. Thanks in advance.
Here are the official Google guidelines: http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142253
Thank you very much for your quick response ianthekisser but I didn't understand. Here is what I receive from google : No action is needed to cancel your account. As a prepay customer with no balance remaining, your ads won't run and your account is essentially deactivated. Your account will remain inactive and won't accrue additional charges, so there is no further action needed. If you ever want to re-activate your AdWords account, simply make another payment at any time. As soon as we receive a payment from you, your ads can begin running again. Please note that any payment made to this account, including any payments initiated prior to this cancellation, will be considered an attempt to reactivate this account and your ads can at that time begin running again.
no, you cant, you just deactivate your account, and you can activate it later if you need, you cant delete it or remove it.
