Used $100 Promo But Balance Doesn't Show It

I used the $100 promo code BNR-100-1206 and signed up for a new account and created a campaign and all that, however when I go to "Accounts & Billing" my "Accounts List" shows my balance as ".00".

If I go to the billing tab I see the promo code and the info in there.

Do I just have to wait a while for the $100 promo to kick in? Or what?...Do I have to spend $5 first? I thought the $5 thing was for the sign up fee.

 

It is rather complicated.
As long as you are seeing that code at the bottom of the page in the Billing tab, once your account starts generating clicks- look to the far right in that box and you will see the number go up until it reaches the $200 threshold.
From there, you're on your own.
Nobody can quite figure out the algorithm on budget pause, budget credits and the rest.
Good luck.

 

Yeah their credits never show in the balance.

But they do work.

 

Ah ok. Very odd. Microsoft can never seem to get things how people want them to be and I guess this is just another example!

 

Just log in to your a/c-----> click on 'Accounts & Billing' tab--->Then click on 'Billing' tab. You can see your credit there.[At the bottom of the page].
See if you have got the credit.
Else contact adcenter staff .they'll help you.
