Thumbs up Adwords Vouchers

I updated our listing on Google Places the other week, and just got a £50 adwords voucher through the post as a thank you for updating out details.

Entered the serial number into our current adwords account, and it was accepted, giving us a credit of £50.

No idea if this is a special promotion or how long it will last, but for the sake of a quick update on your local listing, its a bit of free money

Never seen a voucher you can add to a current adwords account. Will go and see if any of ours needs updating.

Yup, first time I've seen one, cynically entered the number, and was surprised when it accepted it. Actually credited us £55, but don't tell Google

It usually gives you £5 extra then takes the standard £5 admin fee back from the voucher...for some reason

Strange they would do that on a current account though since the admin fee is already taken when you open it. Ah well, if it took it, take it!

Was chatting to another business, and they've also had one through and added it to their current GA account. Is it a glitch or a non publicised promotion?

Just updated our details again, you never know.....

Good morning, Trena. Yes, someone else has posted that very same thing. I couldn't find our usual placing either. Not sure what's going on there.
