Impossible to create a valid test account

[devel...@jobsrepublic.nl]

I have taken the following steps:

1) Create production MCC account

2) Create test manager MCC account (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/accounts-overview)

3) Within the test MCC account I have created 2 subaccounts.

4) When I click one either of those sub accounts, a red banner appears saying 'Your account isn't active - To activate your account and start running your ads, enter your billing information.'

5) On the right of the banner there is a link saying: 'Fix it'

6) Clicking this link brings me to an almost empty page with the text saying that I can't add billing info since my account has been cancelled

This look like a chicken/egg problem

How can I fix this?

Thanx Frits

Hi,

If you are just going to test the AdWords API using those test accounts, you could just ignore those red banner as the AdWords test account does not actually serve ads and does not need to fill up the billing information. However, if your goal is to serve real ads using a production account and manage your account via the API, you could apply for basic access  then you could create your client account under your production MCC account. Also, take note that the compliance team will contact you within two business days for the status of your developerToken application.

Let me know if you have further clarifications.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Peey,

Do you also encounter the same issue? If so, you could just ignore those red banner as the AdWords test account does not actually serve ads and does not need to fill up the billing information. You could visit this guide to know more information on AdWords test account.
