The saga continues with the google apps credit .. Every time I launch a custom domain it is a lot of work making google apps happy
I applied for the credit on a domain ... got email saying it was granted on oct 3rd ... on nov 2nd they billed my credit card for the monthly $5 ... and there is no sign of the credit on the account ... Plus, I have to signup with a credit card on each of these google apps accounts ... Now sending emails that the credit doesn't actually work ... i have five accounts where the credit has been approved or applied for ... Has anybody noticed how long the process takes even to get the credit approved ... Also, the previous issue with not being able to signup for billing was because there is a limit on the number of google apps accounts you can have with a single email address ... after you signup for billing you have to update the email address ... This has not been thought out at all by google apps and gae. So frustrating This is a lot of work, particularly when their process doesn't even work On Thursday, December 6, 2012 6:42:42 PM UTC-8, Greg wrote: > > Just saw that Google Apps is no longer free for > businesses<http://googleenterprise.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/changes-to-google-apps-for-businesses.html> > . > > I have no problem paying for a Google Apps account where I actually use > Google apps, but at the moment you have to have a Google Apps account to > link a domain to an Appengine app. Some of our apps have two or three > domains showing the same app, and because you need to have an account for > each email address that Appengine sends email from, we have three or four > accounts per domain.
