meh, terms and conditions say it’s restricted to advertisers with billing address on US and Canada. =/

BTW, no code showed up on my mailer when signing up.

The v.html URL above clearly states the following: “In your AdWords account, fill out your “Billing Preferences” under the “My Account” tab. Enter your coupon code exactly as it appears on your mailer. Click “Save and Activate.””

you’d probably need not only different credit cards but different names on the credit card accounts – possibly even different addresses.

Do you need to use different credit cards for each account?

I could be wrong, but my reading of this

http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=8205

“The mailer or email you received may have given you a URL to use when setting up your AdWords account and indicated that the credit would apply automatically to your account. If this is the case, you can leave the promotional code field blank, and the credit will be applied automatically to your account.”

is that it’s tracked by url. I’ll haven’t gone through it yet, but i’ll give it a go and try customer service if there’s no instant credit.

According to Step 3, you need a code from the mailer they sent. Do you have that code?

Unless I’m missing something it looks like you need a coupon code that they emailed to you. How do you get the coupon codes?

Dude, you need a coupon code for that. Without that Code, it doesn’t work out.. (and it’s not being sent within or after the registration process)
