    I just wish they’d stop changing things.

    I’ve already got enough going on at work and the Google does stupid shit like this every other month.

    The amount of hoops I’ll have to jump through for this shit now
     Sigh 

    Over it.

    Do you use a credit card to make payments on your clients Google Ads accounts? What sort of rewards do you get for that?

    I just added a client the other day and was able to use their credit card. But there was something different about this time. They did a $1 charge to the account and added a code on the charge that had to be verified. That “verified” the credit card. The client had to look at their online banking statement to see the code. Has anyone had to do this before ?

    This is insane. We started off our business paying for ads with credit cards, it’s how we got our first customers. We would not be in business today if it weren’t for the ability to draw on a line of credit. Completely crazy decision, and short sighted since if this were back then (we make money now) we would have just gone all-in on FB.

    Got our notice yesterday. Didn’t think it’s on large scale until seeing this post. Time to put some more efforts into Bing ads.

    So only small businesses are affected by it? At which point does Google consider a business not a small business anymore and paying with a credit card is still possible? Besides, do only businesses in the US got that mail or is this a worldwide thing?
