Hello, Looking at your code snippet, it appears that you're adding a CampaignCriterion rather than a NegativeCampaignCriterion <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CampaignCriterionService.NegativeCampaignCriterion>. Keyword criteria are not supported at the campaign level except in NegativeCampaignCriterion. Try making a NegativeCampaignCriterion instead and see if that helps resolve the issue.
