Thanks Zeehad, I did. I uploaded: a passport copy, utility bill etc. - but I do not have a valid credit card. At this moment it is very difficult to get one, perhaps in the near future. There are sometimes moments in your life that these things are difficult to arrange (credit card). I had an old account of GAE that I did not use - I could revive it. In a few months time I want to go to Beta mode. So I am saved for the moment. I seems that to have a new account for GAE you need a valid credit card . That means that there are a lot of people in the world that cannot access GAE at this moment. Here is the reply from Google: RE: [#09246205] General Cloud Billing Query [] [ ref:_00D00VNwG._50060xsjcj:ref ] Hello Herman, Thank you for updating your payment method. Unfortunately, we cannot reactivate your Your Google Cloud Platform / API billing account as the updated payment method is still invalid. Prepaid cards are not acceptable forms of payment for Google Cloud Platform. As a result of this, all projects associated with this billing account will also remain suspended. If you would like to re-open your billing account, please add a valid payment method.
