I recently received a mail from Google Analytics wherein a Google Adwords Promotional code was mentioned worth INR 2500 credit. The terms mentioned clearly stated "The promotion code does not apply to the activation fee." and "Your account will be charged a non-refundable INR 250.00 activation fee upon continuing." So, I want to know weather, After setting up a campaign will I have to pay the Activation fee with Credit Card or any other supported system Or it will get deducted from the Promotional Credit Balance? I don't want to give my Credit Card number and want to avail this service. Is it possible?
I have also got the same Rs.2500 free coupon. I have set a campaign using it. Google has deducted Rs.250 from it and showing Rs2250 in my balance. But the strange thing is that it is still asking for Rs.500 activation fee.without that it is showing my campaign suspended and a msg of balance exhausted. I also want to know how to use it?
you need to pay a fees to have your adwords account activated - this will be henced added to your account - if i am not wrong - this is just to verify that the coupon is not misused... hope it helps...
