Yahoo PPC coupons? How do they work?

    I signed up for Yahoo some months ago with a $100 coupon. After I had used about $20 of the coupon, my credit card started getting charged about every third of fourth day for $5 each.

    Contacting customer service resulted in a couple of emails that did not explain to me why I was charged before the coupon was used.

    Can anyone explain this?

    I am not sure why that is. I do know that their standard is (or was) that if your balance drops below your 3 day average, you will be automatically charged your default deposit amount.

    Example:

    You have $50 in your account.
    You advertise $5 per day, or a three day average of $15
    If your account drops below $15, (or, if you spend $35), you will be automatically charged.

    They do this to eliminate your advertisements going offline, but I found it as a hassle.

    In the future, you can contact them and ask for your account to be placed on the "pre-pay" payment plan, and you will get to add funds at your discretion.

    If you have any other questions, you can PM me and I will help you as best I can.

    I hope this clears something up!

    Set your daily spending limit low...min amount in your account should be available for 3 days otherwise they will charge.
