How Google Ads charges your card

On postpay, Google Ads charges your card each time your costs reach your payment threshold, and on the 1st of the month for anything left over. That means you can be charged several times in one month.

Card purchases from Google Ads earn cashback once they clear, as long as the payment shows Google Ads as the merchant. Holds and pre-authorisations aren't purchases.

Incard's cashback rates

**Table notes:** correct as of 8 November 2026, from Incard's pricing page and fee schedules. Plus rates are “from 1.5%” and set per business. The rideshare rate appears on the pricing page but not in the Free fee schedule.
Plan	Advertising
Free (£0 a month)	1%
Grow (£49 a month)	1.25%
Plus (from £199 a month)	from 1.5%

On advertising alone, Grow's extra cashback covers its £49 fee from £19,600 a month of spend. Our cashback calculator shows the breakeven for your own mix, and our Incard plans guide compares Free, Grow and Plus.

What counts

Only card purchases at brands on Incard's eligible list earn cashback. Incard matches the merchant name on the payment against that list.
Fees, ATM withdrawals, cash, transfers and similar charges don't count.
Refunds are deducted from your cashback.
Cashback is paid on purchases once they clear, not when you tap the card.
Incard reviews a request to redeem within 5 working days and pays it within 14 working days.
