Google Adwords on my CC?

I noticed today a $1.00 charge to a credit card that is identified only as Google Adwords. Perhaps I’ve been mistaken, but I had thought it was business proprietors who pay the freight for those. Was I wrong?

Did you recently add direct deposit as a payment option to Adwords?

Because when you do, Google charges your debit card a $1 to ensure it’s a real account. They reverse the charge the next day.

Of course, you said credit card, so this may not apply.

Well I cancelled that card, so I guess if it’s something that Google feels is legitimate I’ll hear more details eventually.
