Hi Vince, To address your questions:
1) There are different payment options, and their availability varies by country, but the most common option is credit card post-pay billing. 2) The AdWords API Terms and Conditions spell out the rules relating to developer tokens: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/terms.html Section II.1 states: "Permission to Use. You may use the AdWords API only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this AdWords API Agreement. You must use the same Developer Token, and only one Developer Token, at all times. You may only apply for a Developer Token for the sole purpose of using it in AdWords API Clients you have developed. You may not use any Third Party Developer Token in an AdWords API Client unless permitted in writing by Google."
