Your account has no funds because you have not made a payment..with voucher?

    Okay, I've submitted a promotion voucher and my account now says it has £25 balance. However, there is a message saying:

    "Your ad is not running. Your account has no funds because you have not made a payment."

    And then the link proceeds me to make a payment minimum of £10. Why is google requesting this, when I already have £25 on my account from my voucher?

    You still have to enter a credit card, you can't use a voucher by itself. At least that's how it was last time I checked.

    Yeah, I had a $50 one, I was not able to actually use it till I added a credit card to my account, but I never actually had to deposit money.

    its a promo voucher but you need to select either prepay or post pay option. if prepay, then you need to load funds, if postpay then you need to add a credit card.

    They're never going to just give you money to run ads with no strings attached. Imagine how many people could game the system if they did... :)

    I needed to bank in at least $5 before I got the voucher credit ... came with some hosting I got recently :)
