How Automatic Top-Ups Work in Housing Market Ads
Tutorial 45 of 53 · 48 s
Housing Market Ads is prepaid: your campaigns spend from an ad balance, and that balance is topped up automatically from your saved card, so there is no manual top-up button to remember. The first top-up of $20 happens when you add your card, and another $20 is charged whenever the balance drops below $5. This tutorial shows where to see your balance, your promotional credits and whether automatic top-up is on, and how each top-up, credit and day of ad spend appears in the transaction history.
