Google and our partners sometimes distribute promotional codes for Google Ads. These special offers can be used to redeem credit that gets applied to your Google Ads account. This article explains how to redeem your offer and track its status.
Before you begin
- You will need to enter a payment method.
- If you’d like to use monthly invoicing, make sure that you set up that setting before entering your code. Otherwise, your offer will be invalidated and the amount lost when you switch to invoicing.
Where to enter your promotional code
- In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon
- Click Promotions.
- Click the blue plus button
.
- Enter your promotional code.
- Click Save
Note: Manager account users can’t enter a promotional code from the manager level through the Promotions page. Manager accounts must visit the billing page of the account that they’d like to apply a promotion to and follow steps above.
Check your progress
To see how close you are to earning your credit, visit the Promotions page in your account. It's updated every few hours. You'll be able to quickly check your progress and the status of any credit, and see your completed or expired promotions. Here's how to get there:
