    You'll either overdraft your cc depending on the amount or the charge will be declined and your ads will be suspended. If your ads remain suspended for excessively long, your debt may be reported to the credit bureaus!

    But there are no records/ not even my name on that card. These are the kidn you go to the store and buy witha $3.95 activation fee and its yours, no names on it at all,just GIFT CARD RECIEPENT

    And its impossible to get debt on these/cant go over the limit. im sure ill add a normal card as a backup but still what could/would they do?

    I have many AdWords coupons but I have never used them because Google terms on this are not clear to me.

    Maybe is Google and not the Credit Card itself.

    Interesting question. I'm surprised they let it happen.

    you will owe them add they cancel your account and write off the bill and they won't send you to collections either. It happened to me, I owed them 200 or $300 dollars and they just cancelled my acct.

    i think what he means is, what if you run up $100 on your adwords yet dont have the money to pay.

    what happens is, they ask you for your money for a while, then sell the depts to a dept factoring company and then they track you down and make you pay. Ruthless bastards they are, so i wouldnt risk it.
