I've been on bhw for quite awhile and never really posted, but I feel that a contribution has been long overdue, well anyways here's my BIG contribution
I assume that most of you here have set up an adwords account at least once, do any of you guys remember if any of your accounts allowed for manual payments? The manual payment option allows for an adwords voucher to be used BEFORE a credit card is required as opposed to automatic payments where a credit card is required before you can take any futher action. That means you can make an unlimited number of accounts without the need for any credit cards. The payment option you get depends on what zip code you enter, which then goes on to decide whether or not you have to enter a verified credit card to your account.
Why is this important? If you don't need a credit card attached to your adwords account then there's no need for all of the extra effort and money spent trying to obtain them, just so you can save a few bucks when promoting with adwords. Also you can just throw away these accounts after you finish using the preloaded voucher funds.
In all my time dealing with adwords the only zip code that has offered the manual payment option for me is 22181 - which is the area code for vienna, virginia, east coast, usa. The name, and street name are irrelevant and you can just enter any random name that pops up in your head
make sure you do this for a brand new account while signing up.
also if you find any other zip codes or areas that offer manual payment please post it here, because if too many people start signing up for one area, google may catch on and not allow it for that particular area anymore
Let me know if it works for you, and any questions you may have.
