Ask HN: Help Launched a startup, banned from Google AdWords

This doesn't make sense - it's not against the TOS to have multiple credit cards on the account. EVERYONE has multiple credit cards on their account - that way if one declines, it just rolls over to the other card.
Can you elaborate on what you mean?
And off topic, that email - what little is human written (and not copy/paste) is full of typos and bad/non-standard grammar. That's unfortunate - I'm used to better from Google when I actually do hear from/talk to them.

Going through Adwords support is like going through a black hole - here's an idea: create a new domain name, and use a credit card with a different name, and see what happens. I think they might even have banned your domain entirely.
Anyone in this situation before? Is it remediable?
