Promotional Code Issues

Understanding promotional code issues

Promotional codes are like flowers: they require just the right environment to thrive, and they have a short life span.

If you find that your promotional code isn't working properly, there may be a number of reasons. Here are the most garden-variety ones:

You made a typo when you entered the code
Whoops! But it happens to everyone. If your promotional code didn't work, it's worth trying again, paying careful attention to any dashes and capital or lowercase letters in the code.

Your account's too old
Promotional codes are often intended for new advertisers, as a helpful way to get started with AdWords. So, a promotional code might not work if the account you're applying it to is older than what's listed in the code's terms and conditions.

Your promotional code is expired
Like most promotions, promotional codes can be used for a limited time. If it's past the expiration date for the promotional code, it's no longer usable. Google can't accept or replace expired promotional codes. But you can still activate your account without one.

You tried to use multiple codes, or one code on multiple accounts
Usually, promotional codes are limited to one per advertiser. Also, codes you've already applied to an account can't be used again in the same account or a different one.

You've used the maximum number of promotional codes you're allowed
Sometimes, you can use more than one promotional code. But there's still a limit to the number of promotional codes you can use. Check the code's terms and conditions for limitations.

You tried applying the code to existing costs
Promotional codes only apply to future costs, not existing costs. So if you use a code and have an account balance, that balance won't be adjusted.

You tried applying the code in the wrong region
Promotional codes don't travel well. If you received one in a particular region or country, it might not work outside that region or country.

You applied a code that you didn't receive from Google
Google sometimes partners with certain companies to offer promotional codes (and those partners might have their own rules for a promotional code, so be sure to check them!). If you received a promotional code from a website or service that you don't have a business relationship with, it's possible that you've received an invalid code. Websites often have old codes that don't work. Before signing up to receive a promotional code, it's best to confirm that a service or company has a relationship with us.

Google Adwords Coupon : About

You can use these coupon for newly created adwords accounts where you have a option to enter "Promotional Code" while setting up the billing options under Billing Tab. One code can be used only once and have an expiry date. 

Using promotional codes and coupons

Promotional codes (also known as coupons) offer a monetary credit to an advertiser's account. Typically, they're given to new advertisers as a helpful way to get started with AdWords. If you're a new advertiser, you might be eligible to receive one.

Time limit to redeem a promotional code

You can apply a promotional code before or after you've set up your account -- but most codes need to be applied within 14 days after your account is created (think of codes like a fresh carton of milk -- they go sour after a couple weeks).

Google can't accept or replace expired codes. But if your code does go sour, don't worry -- you can always activate your account without one.

Redeeming your promotional code

Once you've set up your AdWords account, you're ready to redeem your promotional code. The steps you take will depend on whether you've already entered your billing information or not. Click a link below to see the steps that apply to you:

I'm entering my billing information for the first time

1. Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com 
2. Click the Billing tab, then click Billing preferences.
3. Select the country or territory of your business address and clickContinue.
4. Enter your business information and click Continue.
5. Select a type and form of payment, then enter your promotional code by clicking "Enter it here" where it says "Do you have a promotion code?" near the bottom of the page, and click Continue.

How promotional codes work with manual and automatic payments

As you know, you can pay your AdWords costs manually (manual payment setting) or automatically (automatic payment setting). The setting you use affects how your promotional code or coupon will work. Here's what you'll need to know:

• Automatic payments

  You'll enter your payment information first if you use the automatic paymentssetting. This activates your account, allowing you to use your promotional code and run your ads. Once your promotional credit is used, your ads will continue to run and costs will be charged to your primary form of payment (say, the debit card you added to your account). If you don't want to accrue costs that exceed your promotional credit, just pause your campaigns to stop running your ads.

• Manual payments

  If you use the manual payment setting, your ads can run almost immediately after we process a valid promotion code. You don't have to make a payment or add a form of payment to your account. But if you'd like to make sure that your ads run continuously, we recommend that you make a payment large enough to cover several weeks of ad activity when you enter a promotional code.
  If you haven't added additional funds to your account, your ads will stop running when the promotional amount is exhausted, and they'll start again once you make a payment. If you've added funds to your account, your ads will keep running once the promotional amount is exhausted, and they'll continue running until you have no more funds in your account.

Keep in mind

• Promotional codes are typically limited to one per customer.
• Promotional codes and coupons are intended only for new accounts and need to be used within 14 days of the account's creation.
• An expiration date usually applies, so keep in mind that you might have to use your promotional code within a limited period.
• If you're considering signing up with a service that offers you an AdWords promotional credit, be sure to verify that the service has a relationship with Google. If you have any questions about an offer, please contact us before committing.
• If you receive a promotional code from a service that you have no business relationship with, be aware that the code might not be valid.
