For a holiday gift for our clients, I was thinking a good idea would be AdWords Gift Certificates, but if they exist, I can't find any info about them. Does anyone know if they exist?
Thanks,
Chip-
Perhaps they are only sold in units in excess of a certain value.

I submitted this question to AdWords Support, but got pretty much brushed off to their AdWords Group where I was sure to find the answer...But no, it hasn't been talked about.For a holiday gift for our clients, I was thinking a good idea would be AdWords Gift Certificates, but if they exist, I can't find any info about them.

Hi carguy84 - I apologize if you feel you were given the brush off.
There is really no such thing as a gift-certificate for AdWords that one may give as a holiday gift to clients or others.
On the other hand, as mack points out, there are promotional coupons that Google Advertising Professionals may give to new clients to allow them to open a new account. Also, a small number of business partners (such as some webhosts, per mack's example) may offer their customers such a promotional coupon or code.
Interestingly, in the 6+ years I have been with AdWords, keeping my ears very close to the ground for advertiser requests, I recall just two or three other requests for gift certificates, apart from your own. And this is the most likely reason they do not exist.
In any case, I will pass your idea along tonight to a great many folks here at Google who work on AdWords, in an Advertiser Feedback Report that I send out each week.
Many thanks,
AWA
Thanks again,
Chip-
Much appreciated. Out of a few hundred clients, just over half use Adwords in one form or another (either self managed or through a third party). For those that use it, I thought it would be a good gift, for those that don't I thought it would make a good introduction to the program as it is really worthwhile in our sector.
Hey carguy84 - thanks for the very nicely stated use-case. I'll quote you again in this week's report. ;)
