    And then they sell them for like $3. I don't understand. First of all, why don't they use them for their own websites? Second, where do they get them from? Third, doesn't Google lose a LOT of money from this, because people can just keep registering new accounts (what I'm planning on doing).

    Don't know, I just assumed it was some kind of fraud.

    $50 coupons... Google losing a lot of money? This is simply part of their marketing budget, and in retrospect $50 is absolutely nothing when many clients are spending tens of thousands of dollars per day.

    Hey even I do sell it for $2 here on DP, it doesn't mean that i dont use them. Infact I have used them for many of my websites. I think its a part of Googles expansion plans where they offer free credit for new advertisers in UK.( All those $52 coupons are actually in 30 pounds). Even here in India, they have advertised on a popular news channel that they are offering Rs.1000 (approx $27) free coupons for new advertisers and has given a spl URL to claim the coupon. So might be ppl will get those free codes and sell them. I bought 100 coupons from a friend in UK for $100.
