I know people used to do this a lot, and I'm wondering if it still works (to take advantage of the $50 vouchers). If it still works, what do I need to do to make sure I don't get caught?
Using prepaid credit cards with AdWords

If I remember correctly, adwords won't accept them anymore...why not just use your own credit card and treat this like a business?
Of course you can use these vouchers without entering your CC info. All you have to do is activate your adwords account using your bank's account balance. I don't know whether bank payments are accepted in your country, but adwords does accept bank payments here in India. They charge 120 INR (3 USD) to activate accounts & then I redeem those 100$ vouchers. Also, this is prepay so you dont have to worry about recurring payments.
But if you use your bank account, they will know that you have multiple AdWords accounts.
Why not? Have you been able to have 2 separate accounts with the same bank account information?
If you are going to try and pull this trick, just go over to yahoo search marketing. It works just fine with yahoo. You don't even have to change what credit card you use. It all goes through just fine
It's pain in ass even with regualr CC to open an account in YSM. Ads dont go online real time. Need to wait some days to go online and most of time there's a risk of gettıng banned with "access granted" error.
