Hi D.P Just thought i would express my opinion regarding google's little scam. ( its not really a scam, just a cheeky way of getting your money ). Ok so im reading through the latest local PC magazine and i get a Google Adwords $100 voucher. So I enter in the code for the voucher, then boom - Please enter your credit card number for a one off payment of $20. I thought it was a voucher? lol......
Well they give you a $10 charge, but the minimum you have to topup is $20. Scam double combo with large cheese?
I got a £75 though the post couldnt use it on my main account since its old as hell so I had to create a new account to activate it too. They are basically giving you something for free and getting money back from it
Exactly it isn't a scam but they are really just giving you less then you think hey. Not like people will complain because it's Google haha
They do that all the time, Not just they but a lot of other companies, It's so they can collect payment from you and store your credit card for re-billing, It's also to avoid fraud they charge $20, so think twice when you sign up with multiple times with same voucher (something that is against their TOS)
