Google Billing?

[barney]

Does anyone here know how many times a day google usually bills an account? I accumulated thousands of dollars in my account balance but yet google hasn't billed me yet or charge my credit card. I thought they constantly bill your account until it hits 0, but lately this has not been happening.

Also, anyone here uses a debit card? Because I notice they tend to double bill while they drop the first charge.

I use a debt card and notice that they charge it twice, but the second drops off. I think its basically a charge marked as memo, but the amount still shows,while a second charge goes through. I have found that by pausing your campaign, then you get charged your current balance. Not quite sure if i like that. Does anyone know when Google is supposed to take what i've done for a month?

For example, let's say that advertiser Alan opens an AdWords account and starts accruing costs on Oct. 1:

On Oct. 5, Alan reaches his initial credit limit of US$50. At that time, we charge him for the amount accrued (which might be in slight excess of the credit limit if he accrued costs quickly). Alan's credit limit is increased to US$200. A new billing cycle begins.
On Oct. 25, Alan again reaches his credit limit of US$200, triggering AdWords to charge him for costs accrued. Google again raises his credit limit to US$350, and initiates a new billing cycle.
On Nov. 18, Alan accrues more than US$350 in charges. Google bills him and raises his credit limit to US$500.
Alan's next bill will be processed on Dec. 18 or when he exceeds the final US$500 credit limit - whichever comes first.

I am not sure if it glitch or something but lately google doesn't bill at 500, i acculated over 1500 and it still hasn't charge my card yet. how often does google bill your credit card daily and why does it do this? why doesn't it just bill once you hit $500? i thought this was fix. can you provide any info on this adwords advisor?

barney, this is not normal - and getting it straightened out would best be accomplished by contacting AdWords support directly.

Ordinarily (assuming that you pay after you've received the clicks rather than before) you'll be billed on the cycle that youfoundjake mentioned above.

If it doesn't happen according to that cycle, the support folks can assist you - plus they'll want to know about the issue so they may track it down.

When you contact AdWords support, please be sure to give them the information they'll need to identify your account. Thanks in advance.
