My Client Center Time Zone

Hi,

I've just applied for the Adwords Professional Programme. During the sign-up and creation of My Client Center, the sign-up wizard recommended creating an alternative account to use as a login for My Client Center which holds all other accounts, including the account used to apply for the programme.

It seems that the master account it created on-the-fly during the sign-up had the default time zone of Pacific Time with US currency.
I'm sure there wasn't an opportunity to change this during the My Client Center setup. (Although the originating account is set correctly to GMT London UK currency)

I would like the chance to set the time zone once, or for it to be set correctly - is it possible? It sounds like it would be very easy for Google to do this. Has anyone any experience with this, or any ideas?

Thanks :)

Contact Google, they can change timezones for you, but they can't change currencies.

Really can they? That would be excellent, but they seem reluctant to do so. I'll try another email.

How come currency can't be changed? I could understand if it was to do with billing, but I don't have any billing set up yet for the client center account. All my client accounts are in british pounds?

I'm wondering if there is a safe way to delete it all and start again, without deleting the individual client accounts?

Hi,

well I emailed them, but decided it would be quicker just to delete the account and start again.

There is definately no chance to set the time zone during enrollment, when choosing:

'Create a new Google Account to log into My Client Center (recommended)'

I have the screenshots to prove it :-) It logs you straight in with a default time zone of PST and Dollars, no chance to set it. I wish they had just said that, instead of pretending I could set it myself - so have to start from begining again.

Well at least here's the info for anyone who runs into the same problem - hope that helps someone :-)
