Unlock up to $1,800 Google Ads Promotional Credit for New Advertisers in New Zealand

To qualify for this credit, you need to spend $600 within 60 days from first impression and meet the following criteria as detailed on Google's website. There are three tiers:

  1. Option A - $600 in ad credit by spending $600 in 60 days
  2. Option B - $1,200 in ad credit by spending $1,800 in 60 days
  3. Option C - $1,800 in ad credit by spending $3,600 in 60 days

Eligibility and Availability:

  • This offer is available only to new Google Ads advertisers with a billing address in New Zealand.
  • Each advertiser is eligible for one promotional offer.
  • The offer is subject to change or withdrawal at any time.

How to Qualify:

  • Ensure your Google Ads account is new and set up with a valid payment profile and method during the initial signup.
  • Accumulate at least $600 (excluding any taxes or applicable fees) within 60 days. Making a payment of $600 is not sufficient.

Applying the Credit:

  • Once the spending requirement is met, and all eligibility checks are confirmed, the credit is typically applied within 35 days to your account's Billing Summary.
  • The credit is valid for 60 days after being applied and can only be used for future advertising costs.

Important Considerations:

  • You will not receive a notification when the credit is exhausted. Additional advertising costs will be charged to your payment method.
  • You can pause or delete your campaigns at any time if you choose not to continue advertising.
  • Your account must be in good standing and successfully billed by Google Ads to remain eligible for the credit.


Google Ads reserves the right to remove the promotional offer from your account if a payment fails, an offer was mistakenly applied, you breach these terms or your account otherwise falls out of good standing. In such cases, if the promotional credit has already been granted, Google Ads reserves the right to nullify that credit. For full terms and conditions, visit Google Ads Promotional Terms.
