HI Guys,
I just opened a new company bank account and for the first 3 months I can only have a £500 credit limit.
Problem is adwords keeps charging me £500+.

Is there anyway to have adwords bill me before £500?

p.s. I don't want to open a new account for pre-payment & I can put the company credit card into credit

thanks

Miss a payment!

They'll soon reduce your credit limit and bill you more often.

I guess that'll work.
but I don't really want my campaign to be offline while I play hard to get.

any other ideas?

AdWordsAdvisor said in another thread to end an email to support about it. There's a chance someone will pick it up.


well, my credit card limit is just 500$ and cant increase it. i want to know if is possible to manual pay the adwords, or if is possible to do something to pay adwords before i reach the 500 limit, i think that will be impossible to pay adwords if i reach the limit :(

hope someone can help me.

This is a another case in which a quick email to AdWords support would get you the specific information you need, Josecito. The options available to each advertiser depend on a number of factors including in which currency they wish to pay, and in which country they're located.

Wow, this is too weird.

I was reading this thread, and thinking of what my response would be. Then at the bottom, I find a post with my essential intended response, and evidently signed by me too.

Cue up theme music to the 'Twilight Zone'!

Anyway, GerBot, I think the inbound is on the right track. Your best bet would be to contact AdWords support by using the 'Contact Us' link within your account, explain your situation, and ask if it's possible for you to be billed at a lower amount.

Oops,

I pasted the response and didn't take out the AWA bit (or make it clear that it was the content of another post)

actually it was not as smooth as I'd hoped for.
I ended up being charged £450 plus £5 to check my new card details plus my current account balance.

Then I got a call from the fraud department at my Bank :) apparently this episode turned up more than one red flag.

I've sent an email off the adwords support team again.

oh well I'll get there in the end.... I hope :)
