Hi, I just started using Google Adwords. I'm from India, are there any other Indians using adwords too? Could you please tell me how I could make payment for adwords campaigns if I don't own a cc. I only have an SBI Maestro Debit Card. Is there any other way to make payment for adwords that you'll are using?
You can try an international bank account in your city Like Citi Bank, HSBC, Bank Of America and get a VISA/MASTERCARD Debit card with your account. Then you can use that debit card for Google or open a new account with Microsoft AdCenter and get $50.00 in credit
Are you sure those international debit cards will work with adwords? It doesn't say Debit Cards accepted anywhere on the Adwords page.
Yes you are right if it just a debit card, but if it is debit card with VISA/MASTERCARD Log than it can be used as a credit card. Merchant will use it as a credit card and the money comes out of your bank account.
vijaykumar13 have you actually tried using this card with adwords? Sorry, but I need to know for sure before going in and applying for a new account. Please let me know
hello zeest, (loved sutta by the way) i had the exact same problem, here is what i did, 1) open an account with hdfc 2) get netbanking (free) 3) get netsafe (free) 4) generate virtual card and make payment (free) http://www.hdfcbank.com/
Thanks for the info sunnydiv, could you please let me know if netsafe is available for non credit card holders too? If I register with hdfc for a normal savings account do I get netsafe access?
why dont you make a cc in your name and all your problems will end forever. are you underage or you afraid of some cc mis-beliefs like most other indians? it will help you a lot in other ways too if used wisely
netsafe is a free service provided by hdfc bank it is used to generate credit cards online you have set a pre defined amount for it it is a prepaid credit card all the credit cards that we generate are valid for 48 hours only its benefits are that you don't have give ur credit card no. to any site just use the card that is generated online you are given credit card no. cv2 no. and expiry date use it normally as we use our credit cards whatever amount is unused from the card generated is credited back to the account AND THE MAIN BENEFIT IS IT IS FREEEEEEEEE I LOVE FREE THINGS
Thanks a lot for all the help guys, really appreciate it. I'm going to go apply for an HDFC bank account now.
