Does Google Adwords still offer pre-pay billing?

[ZachThompson]

I created an Adwords account for a client last week and Google set the account to post-pay billing without letting me choose between pre-pay and post-pay. I have attempted to change this via the billing section of the account but there is no option to do so. Does Google Adwords still offer pre-pay billing?

Thanks!

Yes they do. Just go under "billing" and you can set up your favorite payment preferences.

I had this same problem a couple of days ago - Here is the solution:

Normally, if you go through the whole setup process at one time you'll probably never experience this - but if you close out before completing your campaigns and entering your billing info, you very well might encounter this problem.

Here's the solution:

You'd think that you should go to the billing>preferences page to select pre-pay or post-pay, but you'll find out that the option for prepay is no longer there. I don't know if this is a glitch (doubt it) or Google trying to pull a switch-a-roo for those less informed advertisers. Regardless, unless you WANT the post pay option, leave this area and click the Campaigns tab.

At the top of this page, you should see a big red box that tells you that you need to enter your billing information - click the link inside that red box.

After you enter your country, you'll be forwarded to the prepay / postpay option page (as long as you're in a country where that's an eligible choice).

Hope this helps some one else!
