Before you buy
Read the source ↗
Google Ads’s help pages say: Google does not accept prepaid cards for postpay.
So a prepaid card can’t pay for automatic (postpay) billing. Google’s page doesn’t say whether prepaid cards work for manual prepay, and it lists the United States among the places where prepay isn’t available.

Prepaid cards
“Google does not accept prepaid cards for postpay.”
So a prepaid card can’t pay for automatic (postpay) billing. Google’s page doesn’t say whether prepaid cards work for manual prepay, and it lists the United States among the places where prepay isn’t available.
How billing works
Postpay: you are billed 30 days after your last automatic payment or when your costs reach your billing threshold, whichever comes first. Prepay (where available): you add funds before your ads run.
