Just to clear up any confusion: If you have a previous AdWords account, you are not eligible for the promotional code we offer. Per the terms and conditions, the promotional code is only valid for clients with a new account created via the HostGator link. The best way to ensure you can use the $100 credit with Google is to sign up through our link and apply it right away.
Why isn't this available in my country?
HostGator and Google have teamed up to provide this offer for you, however, Google administers the Google AdWords program itself, including which countries it is available in. We've recently added India to the list of countries who can redeem AdWords credits (although they have a slightly different offer), and we hope to add more countries in the future.
