How I got a coupon for 300 UAH from Google Adwords

It's time to allocate my first advertising budget for the site, and having been at a free seminar from Yandex in Donetsk, I wanted to invest it (my budget) in Yandex.Direct.
But pecked at the bait of Google Adwords.
Under the cut, Google’s strange feature for accepting payments and a warning for those who are new to contextual advertising like me.

And pecked because Privatbank in Ukraine and Google are conducting a joint action to attract new customers.
Allegedly connecting your site to receive payments through PrivatBank, you can get 300 UAH for advertising in Google AdWords. These terms are valid only for newcomers to AdWords.
In fact, Google has previously distributed such vouchers, and the Privatbank recently smeared this campaign, so it’s not surprising that there is no verification function that I connected my website to accepting payments through PrivatBank or not.

So, why did I create this post. BE ALERT when choosing a payment system when registering directly with adwords.google.com

I indicated the voucher code and gave the money, but no one warned me on the Privatbank website or Google website that the amount of your prepayment depends on the choice of payment system.

And the options were:
- Postpay - After receiving your clicks, we will automatically debit funds from your card or account.
You can pay with a MasterCard credit card, Visa, and debit cards with a MasterCard or Visa logo

- Prepayment - The cost of clicks will be deducted from the amount of your advance payment.
Where there is also a credit card or bank transfer.

So, as an honest person, I chose prepayment. But I repeat, nowhere has a single word been said that in the case of a prepayment, I will be forced to charge 200 UAH. If I had chosen postpay, I would have to pay only 25 UAH for activation and only then appreciate the advantages of working with adwords on a gift voucher.

“Well, never mind,” I thought, “because a monster like Google, of course, provided for a change in the payment option, and then I was sadly mistaken.
As it turned out, the world leader in contextual advertising and searching for some banal and ridiculous reasons can not do this.
I will quote some of the costs from help :
At present, it is not possible to switch from postpay to prepayment or vice versa (for example, from payment by bank transfer to postpay by credit card). On the other hand, you can switch from prepay to postpay by closing your existing AdWords account and creating a new one with the right payment method.

And here comes the funny thing, the recipe from Google how to change the acc:
To create a new account, use a different email address. In the event that you need to enter the same email address in your new account, you should change it in your existing AdWords account before closing it.

Funny crutch, is not it? Frankly, Google recommends creating a virtual to change the payment method in your account settings. Somehow ridiculous sounds for a service of world scale.

Here is such a first experience. But there will be something to compare with direct, when I spend 475 hryvnia (200 prepayment + 300 voucher - 25 activation).
