Exactly, this is why they are trying to lure you in with the free voucher. It is VERY easy to rack up $50 + in ad fees in as little as a few hours. You have to be VERY careful and smart with how you set things up if you decide to go ahead and use your voucher. In my opinion as someone who has used adwords I saw very little return on my investment. Its very competitive especially in my field which is graphic design and printing.
